On Friday the cold knocked my car battery out flat, but then the weather flipped over to mild again. On Saturday the temperature was higher than we had in most of June, a whopping +9 Celsius, adding a little rain to that and it was enough to thaw the ground again making a little digging trip today possible. I got up early enough to make use of the 5-6 hours of dusk we have now. What is called the "Mørketid" (dark time/period) has begun and we do not really have any daylight, and the few hours of dusk we have grow shorter every day. We won`t get to see the sun again before the end of January. It is like a looong evening, but it is kinda cozy, So around 09.30 it was "light" enough to do some searching and I had found my way to the slope next to the Heer camp. I continued where I left last week and again I tried to dig every signal. The pile of rubbish metal grew rapidly as it seemed to be far between any good finds today. The few things that found their way into my pocket were some k98 casings, a few signal flare casings and a part belonging to a karbid lamp spares box. It is a part that held a few extra glass covers and the blinders for the lamp. It`ll be interesting to see if those are present when I`ve cleaned up the part. I found a coat hanger made from a thin wire, a soup ladle, a spoon and a gasmask filter. Next to the filter was another iron signal which I just had to dig, probably another bolt I thought, but then I saw that I was cleaning soil from the handle of a bayonet. That was really great! I freed it from the ground and it looks to be in very nice shape. I can`t wait to clean it up! For a few meters I dug nothing but wire bits, and a few more rifle casings, plus the bottom of a tunnell lantern, before another rather bad signal turned out to be a great little find, a heart shaped cookie form, just a perfect find now as we enter the month of Christmas, and of course I had to send the photo of it to the Girlfriend who was at work :D Now a few hours had already passed and it got darker fast. The next few signals I dug it began being difficult to see what it was I was uncovering, but I found the blade from a knife, a mystery part, a Finnish Lahti-Saloranta m/26 machinegun magazine and the very last signal was a smashed flat canteen, which will be a perfect base for one of my miniature diorama projects:) 
It looks like there might be a few hours out there again tomorrow so I am still not calling the season over:)
Enjoy your day :)

I love places where wartime rust is sticking out of the ground. This is a heater of some sort.

Rifle casings, signal flares and other junk.

A spoon. I really hoped there would be some German markings on it but no such luck.

The mystery part is probably your best find of the day, the traverse adjustment assembly for the 8cm Gwr 34 Mortar bipod.
