Friday morrning I went to the Wehrmacht camp to search some more. The forest is full of colors and very beautiful these days, so it is wonderful spending time out there. Not very far into the forest the Fisher gave me a signal to dig, a strong clear signal. It was a small dump filled with old branches and when I removed them I  found the reason for the strong signal, a barrack stove. I moved it and checked the dump again with the detector and it gave a new strong signal. I dug out a small dumping pit with mostly food tins, but it was also a very nice porcelain dish down there with a strong and clear stamp. Awesome find! 
After some nails and trash I had another very strong signal. Under the grass was a lot of big rocks and fine sand and after a while I had removed enough of them to see what I had found. A Kraftstoff canister. It was rusted quite badly and had several holes in it, but it was fun to dig it out.
The next few hours I strolled around digging signals and a few small dumping pits but it wasn`t anyting iteresting n the finds departement, but the last signal I dug was a small pocket knife that ll clean up nicely.

Saturday it was no time for digging but Sunday, after morning coffee I heard the shovel and detector calling. I drove to the Gebirgsjäger capitulation site since its been a while since I did any searching there. I spent a few hours searching in the stables area, but that yielded nothing but a bunch of barrell bands and probably 25 kgs of horseshoes. I moved further into the forest and found a dumping pit. This was rather large but held very few interesting bits. A Rosodont toothpowder box still full, a couple of Losantin bottles, a butter dish with broken lid and a couple of cardboard boxes with K98 Mauser rounds.
I refilled the dump and continued up through the forest but had little luck. A uniform button here and a belt support hook there and a very small horseshoe, I think the smallest one I ve found.
On the way back to the car there was a weak and not so good signal but I decided to dig it anyway, I had my bets on it to be a nail or wire bit, but I wanted to be sure. I pulled out some circular piece of metal and thought at first it was a small harness O-ring but when I got it out from the soil I saw it was a German badge, a SA Sportsbadge. Not a bad end to the day at all. Next week will be a bit busy but I hope to get at least one day out there finding some more rusted bits:)
​Stay Happy my friends:)
