It has been a terrible weather lately but this morning it had cleared up and the rain stopped. The sun did its best to dry up the forest floor but it was still quite wet when I entered the forest shortly after the morning coffee. I walked a trail I`ve walked many times now since spring, but today I noticed a small square ditch between some ferns. I swept the detector across it and had a strong aluminum signal. I dug it open expecting a couple of food tins to peek out from under the roots, but it was a canteen and its carrying hook. I checked the sides of the little hole I had dug and down fell a few rubber muzzle caps for the K98. I expanded the hole and  there were more muzzle caps hiding, lots more. For about 20 minutes I kept scooping them out from the little ditch, and when it finally was empty I had a small mountain of them, more than 500 of them at least! After checking the area around I strolled on into the forest, stopping now and then checking signals, or for eating blueberries.
I found another small dumping pit but the only thing worth saving from it was a shotglass or candle holder from glass, and two long glass tubes filled with graphite sticks like the ones inside pencils, really strange. 
​I spent much of the day looking for treasures but except some k98 ammo, a messkit with bits cut out from it and a small ashtray it was all rubbish for me today. Anyway I had a very nice time and I might have discovered a dumping pit when I was going back to the car, but we ll know if Im right about that another day :)
