These items i found this year in the Hurtgen Forest.

Looks like a hot spot there, Aru-Ed!

Love the MP40, M1 Garand oil bottle and police badges ! !

These finds are not all from one spot but from several places in the forest, but it's hard to find a spot where nobody has ever dug before.

These are good finds. It is fascinating that compared to the wool glove alot of the metal pieces are in worse condition.
