I am really amazed whe I see all these excellent finds. I didn't even know orange Juice powder existed in 1944/45. The fork is nice too. It was taken at a Hotel , note sure but it reads ROHR or something similar.

You'd be amazed if you knew how many of those packeges we've found, also for coffee etc.
They are spread through out the Forest.
By the way the name on the fork is hotel Flohr.
In total i found 4 forks in the pit, all civil!

Thanks for posting the pics Aru-Ed.

I'll place some more of my finds soon, thanks!

Here some pictures and finds from a search this year.
The damage on the barn is from the fighting in the Hurtgen Forest, this barn is at the edge of the forest and so a good parkingspot.









Finds from the woods nearby:





And again some from the pit, like the 2 forks:





Still prints from the casings visible, it was empty when i found it:





Some strange marking:





From a German Gasmask:





Shute-flare:

















And a strange item:

Nice job, keep up the good work!

I might look for stuff like this when I visit Germany next year.
