After a slightly traumatizing start of the day, a dentist appointment which I found no excuses not to go to, I changed into my digger clothes, grabbed the Fisher F5 and went to a small German position not far from where I live. I spent just a few hours there but it was great being out again after weeks of rain and nasty weather. There was not so many signals given by the detector here so I dug every single one I had. The result was mostly communication cables and barbed wire between the different positions and some spent Mauser ammo here and there. Definately a nice and interesting spot and I ll be back out there tomorrow to trawl the rest of the site.
The very first signal was a old German bottle cap.
A waterfilled opening in the mountain, lots of branches makes the use of magnets difficult, but maybe I ll try to clear some of it away tomorrow as there was signals from metal under there...
Bits of a cast iron oven, someone had fun using it as target practise.
Mg position.
Around the Mg position and the trenches around it spent ammo started to pop out..
In the same spot I found around 30 norwegian made casings, all produced from 1918-1937, what was strange was that all of them had the primer struck but they all have misfired and is still full of gunpowder..
Overgrown trenches and fighting positions is zig-zagging the little hill.
