For a couple of days I had been working on cleaning out a pit that turned into a ditch the more I dug. I had found one of the larger dumping pits in the Org. Todt area and I just kept dragging scrap metal, bottles, porcelain and tools out of the ground and it seemed to be in deep layers as well, deeper than most of the holes I had opened here this autumn.
This morning it was a few degrees below zero so the top centimeters of the soil was frozen but as the sun rose it tawed quickly and I kept digging through the day.

In this ditch there was a lot of cloth and also this Chevron, a fun little find but it was too bad it was so destroyed.
