Puma Knife and Bolts

I am starting to feel the effect of digging every day for two weeks now. It feels really good. My face feel fresh, muscles is getting harder and since I also swapped tobacco for a E-Cig the lungs is happier. Although I could do with a day just resting, and maybe cleaning some of the relics, not to mention the sandy floors, I just had to get out there again today.
I went to the area I found a dumping pit yesterday and turned on the Fisher.  First I searched the whole area around the dumping pit. It was a fair amount of hits, but except a Puma knife it was mostly trash, and a few more dumping pits for another day.

When I had checked the area I started on the dumping pit I left last afternoon. First I had to remove all the soil and rust from it that I took out,and filled back yesterday, Then I widened it so I could sit in it and work the walls before finding the bottom of it.  No roots or rocks here so it was bliss to dig it. At first I found a "pocket"in the wall full of the square bakelit boxes for Losantin tablets, I counted around 50 of them in the end, all in very nice condition. It was quite a lot of food tins and cans and one can was half full of rubber muzzle caps for k98 and Mp40 and by the end of the day I had filled the can to the brim. A bunch of beer, wine and champagne bottles and then a K98 bolt fell into my hand. That was very interesting to find here. Maybe I am getting near the place I ve been looking for all these years..
 When I had cleared the walls around the pit I began the work on the bottom. I was pretty deep by now but since it was only sand the job went fast. The bottom was also full of rust and relics. More of the above mentioned items and then I found a speed loader for the MP40 ! An awesome find. A few moments later I had a Mg34 bolt in my hand, also a great find. The rest of the items I am not really sure what is, but I put them in my bag to give them a clean and then try to figure out what they are.
With those last finds I really need to reconsider my plan to have a day of rest. Seems like I need to check the next pit tomorrow :D
