This morning I was ready to go to the forest early. I had to continue where I stopped on monday. I went straight to the spot and began a systematic search. All the tags from yesterday was found in this area of the forest, scattered around within a ca 200 x 200 meter large area so I hoped to find a few more. I spent nearly 5 hours searching and digging and I dug every signal that was more complex than pure iron signals, so to map out any dumping pits to dig later.

One of the signals which turned out to be a dumping pit and I had to empty it. It was full of leather pieces with buckles, clasps and D-rings. Everyting was cut to pieces but it looked like it had been parts of horse harness, Y-straps and some ammo pouches, too bad it had been destroyed coz most of it seemed to have been preserved well.

Next to the leather pit was a rotten canteen of German origin, the blade of a butter knife and a mystery part. This was also in the middle of a ant-highway so I had to dig fast.

At this point I started to get bored of digging rusted things and I had located a few dumping pits for another day, So I made some adjustments to the Fisher F5 and discriminated away all iron and scrap metal and strolled around between the trees  looking for good metal. It wasn`t long before the detector gave off a nice clean beep and showed some good numbers on the display. I tore away the moss and the small roots under it and felt the metal, I scraped away some soil and saw the rounded edge of a thin piece of metal, a dog tag!!

A meter away I had another clean strong signal and was 100% sure it was another tag. I found a rounded thin edge and dragged it out from under the roots, but it was not a dog tag, it was just another mystery piece. I stuck it in the rucksack, fought a few mossies and continued searching. My next find was a cup of some sort, it will be interesting to clean it and see if there is any engravings or stampings on it.

The next couple of hours I kept on with the systematic search and had great results. A few more dumping pits located, some junk and six more dog tags!! The sun was heating up quite a bit and I moved out of the "dog-tag area" towards the car, porch and some beer. I am sure there is much more kool stuff to find here so I will be back soon. I might check out a couple of other sites the next few days before I go back searching for more tags though.
Keep Smiling and stay muddy :)
