Frosted Morning

It is getting colder and the snow is settling on the mountain tops so there is no time to loose. After morning coffee I headed out to one of the Wehrmacht camps for some rust hunting. The forest was wet and cold but the late autumn sun made it very beautiful. The sun rays made every raindrop and ice crystal sparkle like diamonds and the fog hung low between the trees,,truly spectacular.
As I started checking signals given by the detector my fingers was freezing but after some digging they warmed up and it didnt bother me so much. The first relics I found today was some aluminium food tins and a nice German axe head just below the moss. On the surface under some trees I found a pick-axe and a shovel and the next signals I dug was some buttons from a zeltbahn.
In a small dumping pit I found a large bolt, a K98 stripper clip, some crate parts, a key and some boot heel irons. I found an area with lots of strong signals, and after a few hours digging I was pretty sure it was where the camps kitchen had been. I dug out lots of barrell bands, several cast iron oven parts,bottles, a mess kit, lots of alu food tins and a ton of rusted tins. I also found some enamelled food bowls and some kettles.
The days are getting dark earlier and earlier so around dusk I gathered my stuff and spent a last hour wandering around locating and probing a few dumping pits for later digs, and doing that I found a mess kit lid stamped with some numbers, a piece which I think is the insides of a uniform cap brim and some amo casings.
The last hour it had rained quite a lot and when I drove home I saw that on the mountain tops and ridges the snow had crept further down towards the valley. The weather reports doesn`t look promising so this might have been one of the last days of digging this season, but we ll see, hopefully there will be time for more.
​Stay Happy my friends.
