It was perfect digging weather today so soon after breakfast and coffee I went back to yesterdays site. I continued on the fireplace as the detector had indicated that I had only searched half of it yesterday. It is a thin layer just below the surface and here and there metal is sticking out through the grass. I soon found out that I was in the middle of an ant trail which made things a bit intense. The first piece of metal today was a Mg ammo box, but it was quite destroyed. I then found a couple of Nivea bottles and then a shiny coin showed itself infront of me.
Smashed Mg ammo box.
I love to find coins and it is extra fun when they are in such good condition. I kept on digging and a little pile of relics kept growing. It was mostly smaller bits today, some toothbrushes and different medical cream tubes, some porcelain jars and lots of uniform buttons. I also found a few more Mg ammo belts, a pair of goggles, a small and intact ampoule and a matchbox holder.
After some hours it became clear that I had searched through the whole fireplace. I dug a hole for all the rubbish and placed back all the tufts of grass. I had seen a few meter away a little dump in the ground and went over to investigate it. The detector screamed as I swept it across the dump, but unfortunately it was a rubbish pit from the 1970s. After a little while I found another such dump and it was a wartime one. I spent a couple of hours searching it but it was all rusted food tins and animal bones.
I called it quits and headed back home to clean some finds and enjoy some sun on the porch. Tomorrow I might go back here as Im sure there are some more bits of rust to be found.
