An Garand oiler, it was already late on the day and becoming dark, in my haste digging it up, i crushed it.

Sorry for the late response!
The mortar is an US 81mm M56.

May I ask more exactly where were?
Sweet pics!

I do not exactly understand your question?

I believe Halldin is asking about the location of your finds in the forest. If this is the case the answer is near the Ruhr Gebiet.

__________________

In that case, the sector south-east of Aken/Aachen with the towns Vossenack / Hurtgen / Merode / Schevenhütte etc.

Yeah, thanks!
Didn't know how to formulate that question.

We spend the afternoon digging and walking and came up with the following finds:



This was our starting-point:





My buddy found this dumppit:









Remnants of a bajonet/knife (i do not know what kind!):





Remnants U.S. gasmask:

















Part of a K-98:









Part of a U.S. goggle M-1944:

And all the finds of the day (my part):

Once again some excellent finds there! The gasmask is in fairly good condition, same thing for the glove and the lid.

hi Aru-ed, nice finds, I realy like finding things from battles, me and a friend visit Normandy and rumage around in the falasie pocket area finding some interesting stuff, I will post them soon

We also dig up a lot of spent rounds localy in North Wales, these are from fighters that trained there, I believe they are from spitfires and hurricanes all ww2 dated and British 303 and 20mm canon

The finds where a little dissapointing but the surrounding and weather made it perfect!

Trench in the forest:





Kind of beltbuckle?:





Lid for the 81MM Mortar ammo.:
