Between the trees

I had to continue the dig I started yesterday where I found the Gebirgsjäger boot sole so when the morning routine was done I headed out there. I removed the rocks and loose soil quickly and started to carefully chip away the clay. This stuff was almost as hard as the Kurland soil so it went slowly. The rubbish seemed to be in a 20-30 cm deep layer and metal detector indicates it cover several meters wide so again I have some digging ahead the next week.
 I dug out leather parts for boots and found the other gebirgsjäger sole. I kept pulling out all sorts of bottles but very little metal other than boot heels and some unidentified bits which I will clean to figure out what it is. There was also a small glass disc there which might have been for a game of some sort. When I was brushing away some clay with my hand I felt something slice through my finger and before I could get the glove off it was soaked. The third reich is still drawing partizan blood.

Well , it wasn`t the pit of edelweiss badges and soldiers gear I was hoping for but still not a waste of a day and I had a good time and there is still lots to be dug. When I decided to leave I filled the hole and covered it with loose branches and dead leaves. Then I moved a meter and opened up another hole which I dug for a while but there was only broken pieces of rust , probably where they ditched empty food tins.
 So I guess I will be back here soon and continue.
