Muzzle Cap Monday

Earlier than normal I was awake and brewing my coffee. The new site I had been searching yesterday had stayed in my mind. I had to get back there asap. The rain had stopped and the temp was back up to +7 degree Celsius, but I noticed that the snow on the tops had crept even further down towards the valley. 
 Today I took my time and checked every signal as I walked to the dumping pit. The amount of Iron and Mixed signal was staggering and I walked more on my knees than on my feet. 99% of the signals was rubbish. Nails, bits of fence wire, barbed wire and just pieces of metal, it drove me a little bit insane. 
I dug out alot of the dumping pit, after getting through the roots it was easy, just rocky and sandy soil. It looks like the corner I dug yesterday held the more interesting things on this side of the pit, coz today I got out mostly lenghts of wire and tons of food tins. A nice tent peg almost on the bottom of the pit made the job worth it though.

I thought it was a grenade at first glance, but it was a homemade kerosene lamp.

After backfilling the pit I wandered around again, but I got tired of the fence bits so I decided to go into another part of the forest. A good choice it prooved as here the surface was full of relics and after a while I found another dumping pit which I opened up. It was fairly deep and as dusk fell some interesting bits started to pop out, so this one I need to go back and finish up tomorrow. The first item in it was a pioneer axe head and a rusted rifle cleaning kit box, and between a bunch of food canisters was a mini-hoard of rubber muzzle caps, both for the K98 and a couple for MP40. 
​Now, come dawn so I can get out there again :)
