Today the hunting season began here north so it was a bit more exciting going out to the forest for some relic and berry searching. Luckily the hunters were spread out in other places in the valley and not in the thick woods where we were headed. We saw them while driving in, posted around open fields, marshes and small tops, sitting on their chairs with rifles across their laps. Hunting sure has lost some of its intensity since man Hunted the animals with spears or arrows back in the days when one had to track down the animal.. But they looked like they were enjoying it and thats one of the most important things with a hobby. Doing the things we love makes us not notice being wet and cold, like that we rust hunters and moose hunters are the same.
 We found the dumping pit deep in the forest, which needed to be completed, and while I dug into it the Girlfriend disappeared to go forage some berries for us to enjoy come winter. She returned about the same time as I was filling back the rocks and soil into the pit and sorted out the finds worth keeping. She had much better luck than me, she brought back a few kilos of berries! My haul was more meager, a bunch of small white plastic buttons, several cream tubes, a few bottles, two rubber muzzle caps and a razor. 
I roamed around a bit with the detector and soon found a patch with a bunch of signals. Under the moss was a whole bunch of full K98 clips spread around, broken porcelain, two rifle cleaning kits, some 9mm rounds, a field shovel, a spoon, a Göffel, a couple of small bottles and a few buttons.
After some eating and a cup of warm Chaga we slowly strolled towards the car, but we stumbled upon a couple of dumping pits on the way. The first one held nawt but rubbish and a small silver bracelet. I found an exact same type of bracelet in another part of the forest earlier this summer. The other pit was a bit of a struggle. It had some big items in it, but it was overgrown with rather thick roots and a lot of rocks had been dumped atop it. After a good while I had managed to fight both items back to the surface. One was a fuel barrell top with some text on, "200l Kraftstoff Feuergefarlich Wehrmacht". The other was the seat from a vehicle, a Kübel- or Schwimmwagen, it was in quite good condition so I guess it ll find its way to someone restoring a vehicle.
After filling back both these pits I took a round with the detector checking single signals spread around. It wasn`t a meter without a beep from it. One place I found a 20l fuel can, I found half a iron cast oven thrown around, bits of zink and other sheet metals, a vehicle flag frame and quite a lot of nails. Starting to get tired I fell down on my knees for checking yet another patch full of signals and there it was, a find I hadn`t dared dream of having again. A Finnish-German Nordfront Cross!! (After clean up I see now that it is one of the Lapplandfront variant of this cross) It was a totally amazing find. The cross was in quite good condition and of another variant than the one I was lucky enough to find last year, precisely one year and one day between the finds. Around the cross was a few other items as well, a gold plated brooch with some red stones, a named aluminum tag, a dice and a gaming piece and some buttons. With this find in hand the winter can just come tomorrow, I have had a crazy season this year!! (but of course I hope it`ll still be a few more weeks of season, the thrill of the hunt os better than any finds :D )
Now it was time to call it quits and we picked berries on our way back to the car and spent a couple of hours when home cleaning and sorting them to make jams and syrup :)
Happy Hunting my friends :)

This tag was near the cross, so prehaps it belonged to Biber.
