WW2 battlefield hunting is vorbidden to privat persons in Germany.If getting catched MDing in the woods,goverment is able to capture military collection.Dug items or non dug doesen't often matter.
Hunting on old dump-sites is (still!) allowed.Possible to make older military finds there,but WW1 & WW2,too.
Casted away 1945-1955.

We all love you pictures. Must be nice to be in such a prime area.
At one time those site were all over the Eastern half of the United States from the American civil war. There are huge collections that were just eyeballed by persons during the latter part of the 19th. century and early parts of the 20th. century. When metal detectors became a major hunting tool in the sixties and seventies these sites became quickly depleted. Now I am happy with just a few minnies or buttons although I know there is at least half as much yet undiscovered. Some of it is impossible to get to because it is in riverbeds or along coastal positions, much more is located under cities like Chattanooga; Franklin; St. Louis (had 8 forts now in populated areas) just to name a few.
Nice finds you got there. Myself I'm more of a beach and waterhunter but I remember many dump sites around where I grew up in northern Germany full of stuff like that. Maybe I should go digging there again sometime. As kids we used to search for WW II junk to play with (which was forbidden of course, that made it even more fun). Close to every village there used to be at least one former gravel pit used as garbage dump before recycling systems were established during the eighties. These dumps were just covered up with sand but they still are there and nobody ever dug there. I still remember the exact locations of many such sites, they still must be full of bottles, porcelain, ceramics, relics from both world wars and who knows what else. People would call you crazy of course if you started digging up the old garbage dumps around here.
