Digging in Norway & Kurland

[bigmacglenn]

You're definitely on to something good there, friend...especially as you're beginning to find more personal gear...My German grandfather was stationed in Norway before being sent to the Ostfront, so I'm following this thread with great interest...
Wishing you a successful and safe trip to Kurland...Looking forward to your updates and photos as well, of course!
cheers, Glenn

..its very fun to open pits where it is smaller personal Objects,and not only rusted stuff







When there was no more to be found in the hole I closed it and spent an hour searching just around it..





A Danish coin from 1925 and mysterious brass piece



I also found 7 horseshoes which I think is german as I moved to the car..



..more tomorrow I hope

K98 muzzle caps and porcelin grenade pulls? Neat finds!

It would be a fascinating story in itself to know why a Danish 1925 2 Kroner coin ended up getting buried all the way over in Norway! Someone's "lucky piece"? If so, it apparently didn't work!

..And too bad the coin was in such bad condition,a Perfect one could land around 170 Euro! It is raining a lot today,but still I am preparing to open a new pit in the stables/dumping area today,,just braving up on some coffee first

I bet that it's from a German soldier. Probably went to Denmark before Norway and kept it as a souvenir

Rainy day today but not wasted infront of the computer screen,,the forest was calling.) I dug aloot but found mostly kilometers of wire and about 200000 Nails..



..first good find was a pair of german horseshoes..



..NeXT find was also quite Nice,,spent an hour trying to find the rest of it,with no Luck

[inka]

I hope tomorrow will bring better Luck and nicer weather,,I dont mind getting all muddy and wet,but it was nice to get back home to a warm house



I walked back to the car following the river bed and found another horseshoe and a german vehicle tool clamp

That flaregun is a very nice find! It probably had wooden grips seeing as those are unfortunately gone too... is this from a frontline of sorts up north?
