It was at depth over 1,20 meters. The most important thing that the metal had minimal contact with wood or any organic material- which created the small rust hole in front of the helmet.

Correct. It is very labor intensive process- most of the time without results, but at the same time it is very exciting- in my experience nothing compares to adrenaline rush when you find the helmet on a WW2 positions, rather then buying one.

I imagine so. Metal detecting here in Pa. is one of my hobbies. When I dig a coin from 1700's I feel a certain way also!

Pa- is it the state of the Pennsylvania U.S.? In that case it is probably a valuable find- from the U.S. history perspective? Here unfortunately everything older then 17th century with recent regulations is declared a property of the state/ government. But i guess there are still chances to find ww2 relics- like abandoned training grounds, garrisons or P.O.W. camps?

There is no need to worry about the helmet, it has been done allready, it is not the first relic condition helmet i have handled- hopefully not the last. I just didn't find it to be neccessary to make extra photos with the same helmet coated with wax, since to me it was more important to show how the paint and texture looks prior any conservation, that would make it look different.
