    Hey Friends,

    yesterday I was in the woods just to get an image of that what I´ve read in books.
    Then I found the following things in the area I was in. I need not to dig, they were lying on top of the ground.

    Can anybody tell me anything about these findings...?
    I´ll put in some more pictures after cleaning.

    Thanks a lot!

    The item on the right seems to be the upper part of an U.S mess kit (plate)

    Looks like a part to a field heater/ wood stove......the bent piece with the knob.

    The little vial could be a rifle oiler.....is there any thing inside it?

    Thanks a lot for your informations!
    I have not managed to clean the items yet - so there are no new pics of them.

    Yes in the vial is some plastic. A little stick is fixed at the cap. It looks like small round piece of plastic was fixed at the end of the stick - but now it´s loose. I can´t get it out of the vial...
