Man finds remains of camp for 10,000 German POV in back garden
Stumbled over this (slightly dated) mention of a plumber who unearthed remains of a large POV site in his back garden. Imagine having that on your property (rented or not).
Might be of interest to some diggers/collectors.

I never heard about this, thank you for posting.
I haven't heard of this, thanks for sharing!....
That is a great find.
Now I understand the German and also and American dog tag being found,
But why would a Stalag XII dogtag have been in the pile??

I wasn't aware of this either. It would be nifty as can be to have that in your back yard. Better than growing tomatoes.
a nice thing to find out.
A couple of years old yes. He also appeared on the One Show with some of the finds. Some good stuff coming out the ground and a lucky guy. We did offer to help with the relic recovery,(RRPG), but never got a reply to our offer of experienced diggers.
Interesting supplementary info, Steve. How odd, that he didnt at least reply. I'd have thought one would jump at the oppertunity for some qualified 'hands on deck.'
