Had a relaxing long weekend, been at the summerhouse with my folks, watched a few series on the sofa and worked on some miniatures. But today it was time to get busy again. After a coffee and a treasure hunt at work I headed out to the forest with the detector. I planned to continue with the dumping pits and chose a new route through the forest, searching my way to the pits. I had a few signals and dug every one of them. Some modern junk and a few leftovers from the war, nothing special, a few horseshoes and k98 casings. I also spotted some evidence that there had been a bear here very recently in the form of bear droppings, torn up grass and a dug-out anthill, so I made some noise walking to where I was going to dig.

The dumping pit was as often before full of rusted food tins and whatnot. Found alot of those large tentpeg looking things like in the photo above , some more railway sleeper bolts and a few horse brushes and ofcourse bottles,both broken and whole ones. When the hole started to look empty I started searching the edges of it and there was some more signals. The first one was a k98 bayonet frog in very good condition, all the thread rotten away ofcourse, next to it was the tube from a panzerfaust, I was not expecting to find something like that here and thought for a mpment I was in Kurland but all the large ants crawling over me reminded me where I was. It is crazy how much ants there is, I can`t remember any year its been like this, the forest floor looks like it is alive at times. The last signal of interest around the dumping pit this time was a pair of dust goggles with orange lenses, also on this all the cloth and threads was rotted away but still a nice little find. It was time to get back home for dinner so I tried to get all the ants off me. Wasn`t completely lucky coz I found a few in the car and now a couple on the kitchen table. Off to clean some rust of the panzerfaust tube now and start preserving the bayonet frog.
