Fieldkitchen/POW Camp

Today I had to check the area where I spotted the two fieldkitchens earlier this spring. Supposedly it had been a small Red Army POW camp here for a short periode of time during the war. 
To begin with I had no signals from the detector anywhere but when I moved down the forest to a small dried up riverbed the Fisher started making noise and I saw rust and zink buckets peeking out from the grass all over the place.

Zink bucket.
Other than the usual rusted away food tins and a few shovels there was no good quality metal to find, and no sign of any dumping pits so I moved along the river searching both sides. After a little while there was interesting signals from the detector, and I began removing some grass and moss. When I struck metal I was once again fooled. I was sure I was digging out the barrel of a rifle or mg when I discovered it was just a part of a bike. Under the bike though was a dumping pit and I spent a while searching through it. Found a few nice medical bottles which was worth saving.
I took some pics of the field kitchens and continued searching around the river before I headed into the forest and back to the car. Tomorrow if the weather allows it I will check on the other side of the road if there is any more proof of a campsite.

The bike part I thought was a weapon.
