Last year on this date it was impossible to dig, the ground had already been frozen for two weeks then so it was with a big grin I drove towards the forest again this morning. Today I wanted to check a forested area I still hadn`t searched. It was a great choice. I soon was so busy that I completely forgot about my camera until it was time to head back home. I got signals all over the place, and I found god knows how many dumping pits. I used a few hours just mapping the place and digging a single signal sometimes. When I had a bit of an overview of the area I opened up a corner of a dumping pit and relics just poured out. The pit was next to a tree so some large roots made the digging really difficult but around dusk I had cleaned the corner, just a very small part of the pit. Of the stuff found was some nice bottles and a porcelain dish, a few flares, a bunch of K98 casings, part of a binocular and a steel WH belt buckle. While I was walking to the car I checked every signal and one of them was really interesting. A bottle full of 7.92 rounds, all in a very nice condition, someone had to have been bored at some point taking the time to fill them into the bottle. I promise I`ll remember to take more pics next time I go there :)
