Zur Erinnerung an die Eismeer front

Despite heavy rain I got up early and headed back out to the forest. I have to use the time wisely now before winter hits so I went straight up to one of the ditches I ve located earlier. Before I got there I was soaking wet and the top layer in the dumping pit was muddy. Today I wasn`t as lucky as yesterday coz this one was full of broken bottles, and it looked like the guys had done a better job with setting it on fire back in 1945 than the last pit I dug. Still, between all the broken and destroyed rubbish a few gems was hiding. The relic pile on the edge of the ditch grew steadily. One of the first bits I stacked up there was a empty M24 head. I dug for about 5 and half hour before I could call it done and luckily the rain had stopped after the first hour of digging. I had found a whole bunch of nice intact bottles, a couple of melted ones as well. Also several spoons, a swedish razor, a Heer belt buckle, Odol bottle, a filed torch and some trench made ashtrays. Of the more interesting finds was a spare ski tip made from metal, a messkit with a name engraved and a trench-art box lid, I really searched around for the rest of it, but had no luck so Im hoping it is in the un-dug pit next to this one, which I ll try dig next week sometime.
Now Im back home and the kitchentable is filled with relics waiting for cleaning so I better get to it :)
