Friday 13th dig

Friday 13th turned out to not bring bad luck for digging. It was perfect expedition weather today , partly clouded sky  , relatively dry forest floor and around 15 degree Celsius. I have 3-4 very interesting sites I am searching this spring , and the place I went to today  is the old storage area where I found all the signal flares last summer. 
 I decided to dig every signal today , no matter if it showed as weak iron or foil , and to do a more systematic search in a section of the area. I also brought my new pinpointer , a buy I do not regret.

The first few signals I had was just nails , some wire and barrel bands but then there was a stronger signal and I needed to dig a bit. Here it was sandy soil so it was a breeze to dig and a bunch of these ammo crate lids came out. A few of them was in not too bad condition with some original paint intact. Making sure there was no items left undiscovered I closed the pit and found a new signal to dig.

I am starting to have correct guesses to when it is small arms casings the detector sweeps over as it must be one of the signal I had most of in my metal detecting career so far , but now the pinpointer came in quite handy finding each casing very quickly , and they can be hard to spot with the exellent camo 72 years aging and patina gives them. I found several k98 casings and a couple of  .45 rounds. Just make sure you don`t wear any rings on your fingers when working with a pinpointer. It ll give you a drip going through handfulls of sand with an exellent ghost signal over and over again.

In the last section I decided to search before going home it is kind of marshy and there was a weak but very interesting signal. Here was no use for any pinponter because twenty centimeter below the surface I saw something very familiar. Boxes full of the good old flares , with very nice colors and stampings. Happy days.
