One hour of detecting, mostly Norwegian postwar stuff though...
I am fairly new at detecting (my first real trip detecting)

ITEM nr. (34)

I think this is wartime, and I would guess if it is not German made it is German used... My guess is that it's for an instrument.... maybe a car? Any ideas??

This lock is in extremely good condition!

After all these years buried in the ground!
I put on some oil and it still works great!

Silver spoon I think...
Anybody know if this is German made or not?

The spoon is British AM stands for Air Minstry usually associated with RAF, nice find. I wonder how it ended up there?

Thanks " LUCKYSTRIKE"

I searched on Google and some British spoons came up... but it didn't make sense to me that a British spoon would wound up in a German barracks...

Maybe it was a Christmas gift from the R.A.F, along with a couple hundred lbs of bombs.

ITEM nr. (31)

My first find with my first metal detector

After about 5 minutes of searching I found this knife in 6 inches down in the mud.

Any ideas on the knife?
I believe it is German.. as it was found along with other German stuff..

look here , the same logo , Autria compagnie !

Well done for tracking down the knife you found. Good detective work

Here is an AM spoon I found on an English airbase. This spoon was badly corroded when I found it and a dull copper colour. I decided to take it back to 'shiney' just to see if it was possible. Here's the result.

You could do this with your spoon if you want, although I have only ever done it to this one as I like my relics to keep their condition normally.

I found a picture of what it looked like after I first cleaned it. Attached.

Anyway, thought I'd give you one as a comparison. Very nice but intriguing find !!!
