101st Abn D-Day Cricket back garden...
October 2005, metal detecting behind our house I found a waste pit from the field hospital, a complete set of T5 Harness buckles came up, para cord, pieces of camo parachute, a cricket and a lot US forks & spoons, ration tins, tooth brushes, razors and medical bottles.
Even enlisted the wife to help dig, the items were no more than 2ft down in very sandy soil.

Brilliant finds Steve.
Any chance you got a picture of the stuff after cleaning ? Especially the tubes of stuff you found.
