Yesterday was a slow day. I went out to the forest early. I wanted to continue on the large dumping pit in the stinging nettle shrubbery I found a few weeks ago. So far this season I have had some great finds from this camp, so I figured it have to be something good waiting in this dumping pit. I cut down some of the nettles so I had some space to work and began digging. As I removed the top layer of the section I wanted to dig a few relics popped out. A göffel or two, a medical bottle, parts of a bike lamp, a gaming piece and a mystery piece. Then for the next two hours not a single item worth saving. I dug up nothing but animal bones, rocks and a few tin cans, plus some barrell bands. It became a very boring project and there is still lots left of the pit to check out but I decided it was enough for the day. I switched on the detector and strolled towards the area where I had found the last helmet. It was a few signals along the way worth checking but it wasn`t anything interesting,. And I discovered a couple of small dumping pits which didn`t deliver any relics.
The weather had become warmer and a large swarm of mosquitoes and black flies was following me around and constantly trying to get inside my head.
The whole day went like this, 7 or 8 hours, combing the forest but the relic gods didn`t want to give me anything but exercise and zen training. One signal almost delivered but it was a live K98 rifle grenade. Scary stuff. Another place was a whole cache of 9mm ammo, in great looking condition. I emptied a few to make key rings or something off them later. Another hours search yielded a nice looking tent peg but that was it. After a long circling back to the car I had checked several more signals but gotten no finds. I did manage to get some insect bites, I saw a squirrell and I found some good spots for berry picking in a few weeks.
So some days are like this one, long, warm ,tedious and exhausting for no other pay than fresh air, nice views and memories of nature,,definately not a waste of time :)
But I do hope for more finds on the next trip out there:)
