 Around midnight when I was supposed to go to bed I heard some strange animal sounds from outside and one of my cats was freaking out a bit. The weird barking came from a lynx and it went around the house, but when I opened the window to try get a look it was gone, it was a interesting "near-nature-experience", but I was a bit jaded this morning when the alarm went off ungodly early, waking me up to a day in the forest. I had to shake the Girlfriend out of dreamland and when we both had gotten coffee and food we headed to the Wehrmacht camp where I ve spent this summer and autumn searching. On the mountain tops we could see a cover of fresh snow so I bet it is not long left of this years digging season.
In the forest I found the trenchline with oven bits sticking out while Girlfriend strolled around filling a bag with blueberries. The hours went by and I dug three small dumping pits after the trenchline but today there was not much interesting to find. It was much the usual bits, some bottles and tins, alittle bakelite and a few pieces of rust. In one of the pits I found a 5 cm mortar grenade, it had a transport plug in it but I left it buried and marked the place on the gps. On our way back to the car I found a pit and checked it and there I found a Krag bayonet, the long version, and a German fire extinguisher. We continued walking and by a treestump I spotted some rusty bits, walked over and between some barrack oven pipe parts lay a nice trench art ashtray on the surface. A very nice ending to todays search.
