Searching the Depot

I went out to the ammo depot after work. Large parts of the area is still unsearched so I chose a corner by the fence and started a systematic search but there was almost no signals anywhere. The first signal I got was a metal band from a wooden barrel and later a few nails. At one point I got a nice scream from the F5 but when I checked the number on the display I was pretty sure it was ammo casings , which it was.

I kept walking around the forest getting no more signals so when I had ruled out the section I walked to the oposite side to start another search. Here I took a break and started picking some blueberries when I noticed a reflection in the edge of the forest. Using my binoculars I thought it looked like a old building behind the trees so I went over to check it out. Sure enough , I found a rotten old shed half fallen over. I love old ruins and this being so close to the military area it was impossible not peeking inside. And there it was , stuff to make any day perfect. Several Heeres Verpflegungs bags hanging on the far standing wall! I dropped all sense of personal safety and snuk under the fallen roof and saw that in the corner was more than just the bags. Two pair of german army shoes , a winter jacket , winter cap , carbide lamp , 2 parts for grenade cases and lots of belt support hooks and uniform button clasps. Im so happy I checked this ruin because I am sure it won`t be standing for so many more storms. Tomorrow I will be back there to give it another search and prehaps I`ll move all the collapsed materials to see if there is some stuff under it.
