Unknown Items
Hopefully I posted this on the correct thread and the photos posted correctly. I found these items while detecting where it's known the Germans counter attacked the Americans in 1945. I'm guessing they're WW2 because I found many other artifacts in the general area.
The top items are some sort of quick release fastener!...
Yeah I thought they might be. They were in the ground about 1 1/2 ft apart same depth facing the same direction. I can't find anything on the web about them at all. The small bottom piece has to be turned about 30 degrees for it to disconnect.
Hi top item looks like a opening catch from a German first aid box , These catches are also found on other German storage boxs i have seen
Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm going to search the web and see if there are pictures.
The other item looks like an old cattle ear tag.
your piece
That's defenatly it, do you know exactly what it's from?
Totally agree, can't believe I didn't think of that.
You're right, it's a 'rocket' type ear tag for sheep or pigs.by Feuerbach
