    Today with an new collegea trainee !!! (went for the first time with me) doing some search work in the area from the Hurtgen forrest.
    At 9 o clock he was there and we went to 2 locations i search on goolge maps.
    I used my new White detector and gave him the old one from me a Black Night detector !!!! It wil changes my life forever :D
    On the first place some ammo .50 and lift the dot buttons, but the secon place......
    I walked trough an German Hole and my detector didn't do not much....
    My pal find a K98 bag with the Belt and the bayonet :eek:
    I thought that's some beginners luck !!!

    Yep, you sure don't find a Bar in such a great condition everyday. I hope you "ll be able to restore it. It looks almost complete and the parts that are missing can hopefully be replaced.
