Out in the Sunny Woods

Great finds while metal detecting sure is a bonus, but the real treasure for me is the hunt, being out in the nature alone, with GF or friends, the thrill of digging out something wondering what the soil hides this time...
This weekend it was lovely weather so me and the GirlFriend went for a stroll. We found mostly old Norwegian Krag casings, but we might have stumbled across a dumping pit left behind by the Germans which I went back to dig out yesterday. This time it was only the regular stuff to find, nothing spectacular at all. I spent half the day in the forest and located yet another couple of ditches to dig another day :)

One of Santas helpers.

First find of the day, old Krag casing.

The amount of old Krag casings makes me wonder if there was a military excersise here at some point since many of them had the wooden tip.

Belt support hook and a bit of pioneer wire.

"Garantie" toothbrush.

Nivea toothpaste.

Medical bottles is always a nice find since I collect them.

"Formamint" old flu medecin.

One of the first signals I dug was this big battery.

Battery which would fit the field torches.

A large battery.

Electrode from a battery.

An ashtray, maybe a hint that I should pick up smoking again :D

A piece of cloth not rotted away.

These things gives off such a great signal so I dug a whole bunch of them .

Wooden tipped training rounds for the Krag.

Oiler for the Krag rifle and a 6.5 casing.

Casings, stripper clip, handle from a box and a padlock.

Top of a Anz.39 zunder, used to set of mines.

Coins and button.

1 pfennig coins and a piece of embossed bottle.

Numbered mystery piece.

Food tins.

The soldiers kept their hair tidy apparently.

Happy and hungry digger heading home:)

Spectacular views:)
