Well,
I and my friend decided to walk into a rest area north of Stalingrad. There were rear positions of Soviet troops. We dug up several Soviet bunkers. We found a Soviet gas mask and a few fragments from projectiles. After the German bunkers that walk was very sad
. But we got great experience and a dip in the Volgograd's Reservoir

Today my friend and me were digging in the north of Stalingrad, Erzovka-point... This is the position of the rear of the Red Army.
First we dug rare Soviet helmet, SSh-36...
The first time I dug this helmet
After we dug up SSh-40
It was near a small bunker, this place near my friend's country house

Thanks so much for all the postings of your interesting finds.
I love your latest photos around Volgograd. The area is very beautiful.
One question: I notice how deep you have to dig in many areas to get to the objects. Is there something about the soil that makes stuff sink so deep into the earth in this area? I've seen videos in other areas - like east Germany - where the finds seem to be at a much shallower depth.

This is great truth in the war. The deeper your pit - the your life will be safe...
Soldiers feared artillery and air force ...

The steppe is close to the desert. Today we saw "a local man" - wind scorpion (Solifugae)
Tomorrow I will continue story about the bunker that my friend dug.
Now I want to sleep

The most interesting finding:
Soviet pepper castor. This is of table service, the dining room of the Red Army.
This is all the finds that we have found there. Maybe the next time we'll dig there.

Okay, I think I should continue to publish photos from place of excavation
After a visited to the recruiting office (July 8), I went to see a friend in the village of Gorodische. You remember, my friend dug up a large German bunker, with burnt-out documents and safe.
We talked with him and agreed to dig at the ravine together.
After meeting with a friend, I dug a little at the ravine near Gumrak...
I dug up cover for a small shovel. That's all.

July now on the street ... and here also very hot weather ... about 30-35 degrees Celsius.
This is very bad for diggers like me ...
solid ground takes a lot of effort to dig up a few pieces of rusty metal But we do it

Another day, we dug a large bunker next to the "burning bunker".
Look at the photos, it was a cruel joke ...
Photo from the ravine, took my friend's daughter ...
