Dumping Pit upon Dumping Pit

Yesterday I went out alone to another new site where I knew it had been a small WH camp. The camp had been for soldiers protecting a rivercrossing entering a valley of importance so I didn`t expect to find much,,Wow, was I wrong. As soon as I stepped foot into the forest I saw German stuff poking out from depressions in the ground. I left those alone as I wanted to try to get an overview of the forest first. The detector led me to dumping pit after dumping pit. One or two pits on the edge of the forest held things of the modern type but inside the forest it was full of German stuff. I dug three small burn pits where I found a ton of 7.92 casings, some coins, buttons and the usual stuff, and marked several others off on the map to dig another day. I had walked through roughly 1/4th of the area when I decided to spend the rest of the day digging out a full pit as my backpack was still light. 
The pit I chose turned out to be big,,full of broken bottles and glass and unidentifiable rust but it was lots of good rust there too. I kept digging until the sky opened up a pouring which I couldn`t ignore even if I wanted too, I was soaking wet and the pit turned into mud so I decided it was time to call it a day. I had filled the bag and pockets to the brims and almost half the pit is still waiting to be completed which I hope to do tomorrow. I found a few items Im wondering what is so if any of you guys know them please inform me :)

Have a great Solstice weekend and stay dirty my friends :)
