Not too long after the morning routine was out of the way I was back in the forest. I had a plan today to check more of the forest but as a fool I began the day in the slope covered with relics and rust, so I didn`t get time to stroll around much. It looks like the whole camp on the top of the plateau was just bulldozed over the side and set fire to when they cleaned up after the war. Most of the steel stuff is rotted but now and again something nice gets uncovered from between the junk. First find today was a nice looking toothbrush, which I now have a big collection of, together with it was a handfull of 7.92 casings.
I pulled out a very nice belt hook, with markings I don`t have in the collection from before so that too put a smile on my face. On the very bottonm of the section I dug today I found a very nice looking car battery, marked "Nbl", maybe short for "nebel"? and the top of another 200 litre fuel drum, in better condition and different markings than yesterdays one. The last two finds before I went back home after hours of sweating and enjoying the day was a blue enamelled cup and the front of a Notek light for the rear of a vehicle, seems that one will clean up nicely so I ll chuck it in a bath of oxalic acid as Im probably staying home doing some miniature modelling tomorrow.
On Sunday though the plan is either checking out another forest or maybe visiting a coastal fortification not far from here :)
Enjoy your weekend:)
