MG & Gasmask Bits

Haven`t had much time for digging the last week but yesterday I managed to get a few hours out there. I went to the "Gasmask Mountain" to have a peek for treasures under some rocks and soil. I found the spot I was digging last time I visited here and went to work. I had to cut my way through a large coil of barbed wire because behind it I could see several gasmask cannisters and losantine bottles sticking out. It took a while and a few cuts on my fingers before I was free from the barbed wire, but it was worth it. I could just pull out relics from between rocks and a thin layer of soil. A few of the gasmask cannisters was in decent condition, and some had rusted too much. I even found a few gasmasks in not too bad condition and a filter with the inkstamps still visible.
 Behind the first layer of relics was a small ore of MG bits. I found several ammo drums which willl clean up nicely, a few of them had MG ammo belts inside. I also found a MG 34 cradle mount and a muzzle flash hider. I was happy with the flash hider as I always wanted one, and now finally I found one. In the hole was also some medic and perfume bottles, a Nivea tin and a small pile of Losantine bottles and boxes.
When I had filled the bags and refilled the hole I strolled around in the area enjoying the beautiful weather, taking photos and listening to the ravens screaming from above. I was also lucky enough to get a glimpse of the Harbour Porpoise that live in the Fjord.
I hope to make a trip back to the Wehrmacht camp in the forest on Thursday and Friday for more digging, so until then,Stay Happy :)
