 We have been out in the forest hunting rust and berries again. Raspberries this time, very tasty. There is more rust than berries in the forest though. In places the signals were as many as needles under a pine tree, it is almost frustrating. Lots of the signals seems to be just rubbish though, unrecognisable pieces of metal. Sheet metal, iron bars , bolts, coils of wires etc, but in between there are the occasional interesting bits. One of the first finds I had worth saving was a fire extinguisher, a smaller one that all the others I have found. Under a tree I saw a M24 carrying rack, but it was in a sad condition, and next to it under some roots was a bracelet. Under another tree was a large mudguard from a vehicle, with some paint left and the fixture from a Notek light. Some of the items I dug up were horseshoes, parts from vehicles, and some other bits the rests of smashed up cast iron ovens and a whole bunch of boot heel irons. This is definately a place one can spend years digging up stuff before it is clean.
While fighting with some roots I heard noises from the treeline 50 meter away and noticed a few squirrels running up and around a tree, jumping between branches and having a great time. Such moments is a fantastic bonus to get while being in the forest. 
A few of the good finds today was the frame of a unit insignia flag for a vehicle, a RAD spoon, a flattened late war canteen and a RG34 rifle cleaning kit box. Near a treestump I had three signals half meter apart, it was the Notek headlight and two parts for it. At this point I was tired and hungry for lunch, so I collected the girlfriend who was crawling around under the trees taking photos of plants and insects. We strolled through the thick forest back to the car trying to avoid the Moose that is also roaming these parts and which we have seen the resting places of, huge flattened spots in the grass, we think it is a mom with two calfs.
​If it is not raining tomorrow we might be back :)
