Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
so when does the museum open ? with the amount you have already collected through your fine fotos and what you are bringing up on every outing you must have a warehouse full or close to it... ?
good stuff !

Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
Well Erich, thank you for the credit... I have some nice items but NOTHING compared to the collections of some friens of mine... some of them searched in the woods allready back in the mid 1990's. If you see that collection.... its impossible to believe, can't explain.
To give you an idea:
This is just a part of his collection.

Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
Have you ever found any grenade "spoons?" You know, the handle on US grenades that kept the weapon from exploding after the pin was pulled and before it was thrown.

Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
You mean the spoon of the Mk2?
Found them sometimes..... but with the grenade still with it.
Mostly in poor condition.

Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
I guess they don't have enough mass to be found by themselves with the detector or do they usually rust away?

Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
the coin is a bit battered though, but still a nice witness of the battle.

Re: Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.
Well guys, I'm back from the weekend.
Didn't found something special.... but my friends digged up some nice items.... US messting with name and number, medical bottles, US officer belt, italian medal, necklace with a christian cross on it, 3 US army toothbrushes... and other stuff.
It was my "location"... so I had done good research.... at least that is something. And I had a nice time.

Didn't knew. Sorry. Only asked if you visited it (not knowing it was closed).
