Soon after breakfast and coffee I went back to yesterdays site to do some digging. I found the large dumping pit and went to work. Some 30 cm down I found evidence that the pit had been set on fire. It was a thick layer with destroyed pieces of rust, charcoal, bits of wood and whatnot. It was far between items not having been destroyed by the fire, but as most times I managed to find a few items to bring back. I also put aside any pieces of aluminium as there sometimes is stuff engraved on them.
​The days up here is getting shorter and when it started to get dark I had checked almost half the pit. Could be I am lucky to get it done before the snow comes,or worse,the cold. Back home I had dinner and then began cleaning the stuff I had brought. Of the little pile of 7 or 8 alu pieces two of them had engravings, one had some patterns to it, could be it had been part of a cigarette casing destroyed and thrown away, the other one surprised me. It was a "homemade" POW dog tag, "Stalag 2 H 13530" and some decorations on the other side. A very interesting little piece.
Hopefully there will be some new interesting finds tomorrow:)

Even some paper had survived on the very bottom of the dumping pit.

On the way back to the car I found a dumping pit with a lot of branches on top. Something for next season.

I love this little find. It is so interesting, and I never saw one like it :)
