This one is a Duemer but is very rough. It was pristine when my cousin and I buried it in his back yard in 1955. I dug it up in the late 80s.

Now begs the question................ why?

[ObKrieger]

Why did you bury it?!

Oh well, kudos to you for digging it back up, and especially for remembering where it was after that long.

[MD Helmets]

We were 9 year old kids playing pirate. We buried my aunts costume jewelry in a tin box. We buried several coins in a pot metal coin bank that looked like a pirates chest. My uncle Jack had a bank coin bag full of German medals and badges. The EK was the one my cousin Arch came out with.
I had a metal dector. We buried it next to a tree that was still there.
I am going to try and find a railroad eagle Arch buried next to an old garage now. The garage is long gone but I still have the metal dector. German stuff was just junk then. Japanese swords were $3.00. German helmets were 50 cents. It was 10 years after the war and the stuff was everywhere. My Dad had a gun shop and a junk store. I didn't think anything of it till 10 years later when I started buying Japanese swords.
