Finally my wait is over! This winter has been longer than usual, and spring came very late. Just two days ago I woke up to 6 cm fresh snow and most of the valley is still covered in deep snow and the ground is still frozen hard as German concrete. But there is one place that has thawed and it is the gasmask mountain, and since it was warm and sunny this morning I got straight into my digger clothes when I woke up. It was nice strolling around the house with my coffee gathering the rest of my digger gear. Everything smelled of old soil and I was soon out of the house heading towards where the rust lives.
When I got to the site I just threw my backpacks into a bush and started looking for some bits worth saving. I walked around for an hour picking up stuff the winter and small rockslides had brought to the surface before I found the place I stopped digging last autumn.
I spent the rest of the day getting dirty and wearing down my gloves pulling the usual bits out of the ground, antigas bottles and boxes, mg drum magazines and a couple of gasmask cannisters that might be worth cleaning up. I also found quite a few small medical bottles and ink pots which is always great to find.
Way past dinnertime I had two full backpacks and not room for more than a few ants in my pockets, relics everywhere, and it was time to climb back to the road and head home. It ll be a great evening cleaning the finds, and I am thrilled that the season is on.
Happy Digging my friends:)

At first I thought I had found some kind of grenade, but the body is made from rubber. A mystery for now.

Still perfume in this little bottle.
Vehicle parts scattered between rocks and rust.
