It has been a few weeks now since last digging so last night we decided to get out to the forest. Early morning today me and the Girlfriend prepared for a day out. The sky was grey and heavy with waterfilled clouds but when we got to the site the sky had cleared up a bit and the temperature was rising. Still, with the rays from the sun shining between the tree trunks there was no hiding that autumn is here. Leaves are getting yellow and the forest floor is becoming fiery red and filled with berries.
I got the detector out and began searching while Girlfriend took out a bag and started looking for the delicious blueberries.
I had got stuck in a small patch where it was signals everywhere. I dug out a large ditch with a big cast iron oven and four snow shovels plus a few rotten field torches. The next signal I had was of the type that can get the pulse up a notch, a live Tellermine on top of a pit filled with food tins, the strangest combination of relics I ve found in a dumping hole thats for sure. The teller got placed deep underground and the coordinates noted down for reporting it to the EOD.
The hours went by and Girlfriend had picked two big bags of berries while I had managed to find a few relics worth saving when we decided to slowly find our way back to the car. Just a few hundred meter from the parking space I saw some relics peeking out from under the berry bushes so we took the time to check it. It was a small dumping pit but it held a good pile of nice relics. Several pocket knives, some uniform buttons, a couple of axe heads, a ton of melted glass, a fork with Waa and eagle stamps and some K98 ammo was some of the stuff I piled up for taking home. When I had found the edges of the pit and dug through it all I leaned back and said to Girlfriend "Thats it, no more relics here!" while I was grabbing a handfull of sand, but it wasn`t sand I got in my hand, but a War Merit Award with Swords!! A spectacular end of the day! We filled back the pit and got ourself home where we baked bread and made fresh blueberry jam,,,And we are probably going back out there tomorrow to get more rust and the Blue gold :)
