Default hurtgenforrest 18/04/2008

On advace of a search-friend I wil post here also my search results

Let's start:

Yesterday (friday) I went again to the Hurtgenforrest without my search-pals.
I've been on a spot with some friends but I wasn't done there yet.
It is a big German defence witch is overrun by US soldiers.
I found US stuff and also German stuff.
This time I walked not in the defence but arround it.
And yes a found this nice item (I think it's German).



10 Meters away from it my next troffee a broche (don't now how to spell it in Englisch) It is civil I think got some blue and red paint on it



Not far away again some lift the dot knob, coffee sak en een belley
Sad I forgat to take a picture from teh German Defence
But there a found a part of an gas-masker



Lot's a buttons an rings from a tent
The defence is going in to the woods on serveral place's.
There were some German foxhole's and ther was my next item
it was a small wood with pine-appel tree's a wet ground with lot's of morse
The hole's are 1/2 in water



and



What you get with this ground wet and not sandy there is no oxygen so the stuf you find got a nice look. Even with the origenal paint on it.
Yes again some stuff from a gas-mask.



3 bellyrings (German) and a bullit (it is France), the Germans took everything from Normandie with them I think.



Nice stuff to find !
Last pic it is all I found over there.
