After a long and lazy morning we decided to get out for a stroll and went to the Gebirgsjäger capitulation site to hunt for treasures. The Fisher seemed hell bent on only picking out wires and nails but after a while we had a good signal under some branches. A couple of cm under the forest floor was a battledamaged canteen which I think will look good when cleaned up, but the next hours it was again all the well too familiar rusted wire bits to be found. In a grassy patch of the forest there seemed to be several dumping pits spread around. The two first was quite small and held nothing interesting. I got a little frustrated and almost shouted "Aaaah,give me something good!!A belt buckle, EKM or a coin!!" and swept the detector under a bush. It gave off a very good signal , and it was a coin! A Norwegian one from 1940! A few meter away there was again a great signal. I opened it up and a few shovels in I knew it was a large dumping pit. I kept digging it for hours while my girlfriend wandered around with the detector.
When the pit was emptied it hadn`t come out so many good finds, but a handfull of things was good enough to be saved and brought back home. A couple of stripper clips, a few small bottles, two bayonet leather frogs and a large headlight of some kind made from aluminium.
Girlfriend had picked out a few good signals like a K98 cleaning kit, a Doramad toothpaste tube and she located a dumping pit which will be dug one of the next days. We were both getting hungry so we strolled back to the car following a small river where we found a hot food container and a broken Stomatol bottle in a beautiful blue color, really sad that one was broken..
Although we didn`t find much it had been a very fine day and as we got close to the car it began raining heavily so it was just a perfect timing to call it quits.
