On advace of a search-friend I wil post here also my search results Let's start: Yesterday (friday) I went again to the Hurtgenforrest without my search-pals. I've been on a spot with some friends but I wasn't done there yet. It is a big German defence witch is overrun by US soldiers. I found US stuff and also German stuff. This time I walked not in the defence but arround it. And yes a found this nice item (I think it's German). 10 Meters away from it my next troffee a broche (don't now how to spell it in Englisch) It is civil I think got some blue and red paint on it Not far away again some lift the dot knob, coffee sak en een belley Sad I forgat to take a picture from teh German Defence But there a found a part of an gas-masker Lot's a buttons an rings from a tent The defence is going in to the woods on serveral place's. There were some German foxhole's and ther was my next item it was a small wood with pine-appel tree's a wet ground with lot's of morse The hole's are 1/2 in water and What you get with this ground wet and not sandy there is no oxygen so the stuf you find got a nice look. Even with the origenal paint on it. Yes again some stuff from a gas-mask. 3 bellyrings (German) and a bullit (it is France), the Germans took everything from Normandie with them I think. Nice stuff to find ! Last pic it is all I found over there.
That's an interesting relic-hunt, Spideyman - thanks for posting.....is that a Lebel rifle cartridge in the last pic ?
I second that Skipper!! I love this stuff! I may just have to pack up and move over there to do any of this!!
Ahh, there we have my search-buddy! Well done on these finds, i hope we will score some more next sunday!
