It has been a long week without any digging. Its been a great week though. We have been blessed with some superior summer weather and the Girlfriend was home for a break from her fieldwork so we got to hang together a bit. We enjoyed life in our hammock between some big old trees in the garden, and we went to a beautiful mountain lake for a little bathing. This morning she had to go back to her fieldwork and instead of sitting alone at home feeling on the emptiness I went to the Gebirgsjäger camp I evacuated because of bugs last week. The horseflies was not very active today, and the mosquitoes I managed to keep away with the bug spray, but damn the little black flies flocked around me. They were a bit annoying but soon forgotten when the detector gave off good signals.
Before continuing on the ditch I had opened earlier, I walked around a bit and picked up a relic here and there. First I found a dump with some canned fish tins, gasmask parts and a enamel lid for a bucket. The next signal was very good and it really surprised me when I saw the piece of metal. It was a full magazine for the Red Army DP-28 machine gun in quite good condition. A really nice find to start the day with.
Towards the ditch I found a tent peg, a small ditch where the only good relic was a razor in see-through plastic, some clasps and a small decorated brass disc.
I spent the rest of the day searching through the big ditch. I dug out lots of small parts which I think might be from a waffenmeister, the buttplate from a K98, a small lighter, the hook from a karbid lamp and another great little find, the scabbard for a close combat knife! When I decided it was enough for today I sifted through the spoils and found a small trench-art piece, a brass piece with the unit insignia of the "Enzian" division - 4. Gebirgs-Division hammered in. Very cool!
Tomorrow I will meet up with a friend and we will go search a hopefully interesting site.
