Hello Forum,
I‘ve recently bought an metal detector and started going out and searching for battlefield relics, I sadly live too far away from any major battles, so my searching ground is limited.
There is a battlefield not that far from me though, that lasted only one day, but involved about 13 Tanks, 2.200 German Infantrymen and much more US Soldiers and Tanks. It was a last time effort from the Germans to make a counterattack, that completely failed because they had insufficient resources at that point.
I‘m completely new on this topic, so I would like your opinion on this formation that is very near to the battlefield and could be German position in my opinion.
There was a structure very similar right next to it, which i didnt photograph.
The hole has a distinct rectengular shape, and a wall of dirt next to it on either side, probably consisting of excavation material. It has two "floors" one is deeper, ends abrubptly and then goes up about half a meter.
I did not find anyhing with my detector in this area, but maybe the germans just didnt shoot at this exact position, as the place they where the fighting started was a bit further away.
I found a screw a bit further away, which has some similarities to K98k screws, but its definitly not one, and i cant say if its warime or later sadly.
What do you think? And do you have any tipps for me as a detector newbie that could me help making my first good find?
All help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Adravor
