No rain today so I collected my equipment, filled up with breakfast and coffee and spun off towards the Wehrmacht camp and the autumn colored forest. Again when I got there I didn`t bother unpacking the metal detector, I just went blind-checking ditches and trenchlines. The first two hours I didn`t have any luck digging. I only found empty places and the two-three dumping pits I found held nothing interesting except a nice fire extinguisher. I wasn`t giving up though and the next two places I found was full of stuff. Mixed together with an enormous amount of broken bottles was a few nice bits worth rescuing. Now and then I took a break, got up and stretched my back and ate a few handfulls of blueberries and looking at the ravens flying between the treetops, I even saw the tail of a squirrel but it seemed Mr.Squirrel was too busy today to give a show. 
The first of the dumping pits had the most stuff in it, it was quite deep and I pulled out several zink buckets , a few frying pans and a large cheesegrinder from a fieldkitchen . I found a orange bakelite butter box, a lighter and a finger scale. Almost on the bottom I saw a large silvery item. It was a Soviet 1 Rouble coin from 1924, a real nice find! On the very bottom I pryed loose a large copper kettle and two pioneer axes. I filled back the pit and went hunting for more. On a tiny plateau I found a trench line with several barrack ovens poking out and next to the line a small pit with bottles sticking out. It started to get late so I dug the pit, letting the trenchline wait for another day. Here I found a few Finnish coins, some perfume bottles, a Göffel, a shaving mirror and three razors, one steel, one bakelite and one in silver. I also found a sppon which I first thought was copper, but it had laid next to some copper wire and got the color from that, coz when I brushed it a bit I saw the nice silver color underneath.
I was tempted to start digging the trenchline but there was no more room in my backpack and probably not much energy left in me.
