After work today I went directly to the dumping ditch and began seraching for treasures. It was sunny and warm so the chilly soil was pleasant to work in. Still digging the edges of the ditch and it is a 10-20 cm thick layer of rust just below the surface going a half meter or so away from the ditch. The first item I found between cans, bottles and bottle shards was a M24 head. I was amazed. I ve found several of these in Latvia but its a first for me here, and I quickly saw that it was empty and safe to bring home. I didn`t find more heads but next to it was a nice Rosodont bakelite box and two Doramad tubes, also worth saving.

Mg starter tab. This was a great find for me as I ve been wanting one for a long time.
​I moved up along the edge and filled back the already dug area with the rust and bottles, covering it with a good thick layer of soil and placed the top bits with vegetation back in place. More relics came out together with the junk and I kept finding coins, 6 of them in the end. Two German, two Finnish and two in such bad condition it is impossible to tell.
​ I took out some soil and felt a square solid bit, knocked some dirt of it and there was a rusted Heer belt buckle, I dont find those either too often so it was placed in the worth-saving pile.

In the last shovel I took before calling it quits for the day I found a little shotglass made from a signal flare,joy.
Back home I had dinner and filled a bucket with water and went to the porch to have a beer and clean some of todays finds.
So now it is time for a little rest and then I ll probably be back out digging tomorrow.
