Its been good days lately for being out in the forests and I have managed to make a few trips so far this week. I collected some berries and gathered a bit more rust for the winter. Early in the week the Girlfriend joined me and we walked around finding berries and digging the occasional signal given by the metal detector. We got a lot of nice berries but only a few relics. The best relics that day was a MP38/40 magazine, a tent peg and a couple of uniform buttons. We also dug up a M24 head, a few gaming pieces and a hatch or lid that could belong to a vehicle, so not too much.
On the next trip I went alone to a small dumping ditch I had started earlier this summer. Here I spent some hours digging the rest of it. A few interesting bits was in it, but it was a whole lot of work for them. A pair of field made rubber suspenders was the first item to be dug out. Those must have been popular because I have found many of them. Some broken bits of porcelain gave me hope that I had a cool 3D puzzle going but that dream got crushed when I only found unmarked bits. I found a small stack of metal dishes from a field kitchen, a big iron candle holder for three candles, lots of perfume bottles and a gasmask cannister. The best find in the ditch was a orange bakelite toothbrush cup marked "Odol" and another pair of combat boots cut down to slippers. This time I took another route back to the car and found a small interesting area that I ll check out more in the coming week. There I picked up a close combat knife, a car key, four medical scissors and some scrap metal. These scissors are cutting metal very well so I am hoping there will be some trench art bits laying around.
Today I went out just for a small round on a new permission. I have found a few nice bits here already so I am hoping this place will deliver. What I first thought was a flat stone was in fact a Kraftstoff barrell top, a good start to the hunt. Nearby I found parts of a fuel pump, a fire extinguisher and a box for S-Mine parts (I think..) Some nails and bolts later a nice tent peg turned up. Followed by a interesting 12cm shell casing. It has the primer on the side of the casing, and its bottom plate is missing, I am hoping it is around there somewhere. I strolled towards the edge of the forested plateau and spotted a large moose slowly crossing the field in front of me. A very nice moment. As I had other things on the to-do list I began moving towards the car and found a huge pile of barbed wire. Large coils piled up and strewn around. Another small pile of some metal frame thingies within the barbed wires pile caught my eye. I didn`t know what it was really, but I was 100% sure it had something to do with MG 34/42 ammo boxes. I picked up one and it had roughly the lenght and width of a ammo box. It looked like one could hang the frame on to something. When these where attached to my backpack I could continue to the car.
Back home I took a ammo box and tried to put it into one of the frames. A perfect fit. Could it be for attaching ammo boxes to mules, or even front-dogs? I hope some of you readers know these carrying frames and can shed some more info :)
The weekend is still a day away so prehaps there will be a trip back there tomorrow.
Have a nice day :)
