Another day of excavation.
I and my friend dug up bunker.

Our finds were modest ...

I want to say that the air temperature was around -5 degrees Celsius (23 degrees Fahrenheit). There was no wind and in the ravine was quite comfortable.

The Tank badge and the belt buckle have both cleaned up very well , great relics and from a known units position even better !!

Those badges did not look like much coming out of the ground, but they sure cleaned up nicely! I had to do a double take at that pot you found...it looked like a Fallschirmjager helmet at first!

I took me three days to go through this whole thread....glad I have finally caught up!

You notice that I often took from my friend metal detector White's Blue MAx

It was hard for me because it took out my time and nerves

I needed the money, and only on the a new job, I was able to make money.
I bought my the first metal detector, Tesoro Cibola (second hand)

My first searching with a new metal detector was February 2.
The road to the headquarters of 71 Infantry Division was difficult, but a shovel helped to me

The air temperature was - 20 ... -25 degrees Celsius (-4 ... -12 degrees Fahrenheit).
I am not lying, Datrus can confirm that in southern Russia were abnormally low temperatures.

I found the Fixture from the headlamp NOTEK and tag for keys of the radio.
