Hello dear community, I want to share with you my latest finds, small story and discovery short movie.

It was a great sunny day and we started metal detecting early in the morning. After a few steps in the forest my brother found the first object and it's a piece from a Romanian belt buckle.
Later my brother was yelling at me from some bushes that he just found something interesting and I started running to him. He discovered a nice German WW2 badge given later in the war for soldiers injured in battle. It wasn't over yet because we found some other cool stuff like a German K98 bayonet holder with the leather still attached on it, a German canteen top and a pot.

Here is the movie:

Nice video, I liked the shot of the rifle pit or trench. Very cool wound badge and bayonet scabbard with frog. Maybe some SS buckles or dagger even a helmet or two around there. Looking forward to seeing more of your finds, Good Luck!

Thank you for watching my post and also appreciating my video. Yes indeed it's a promising ww2 zone in a forest but with a lot of young trees growing over trenches and it's quite hard to squeeze between. But what I'm not doing to reach in the good spots :D Until now a lot of war relics I will keep you updated if will come out more stuff from that zone.
And one last thing I'm sorry for saying bayonet holder instead of bayonet scabbard because my English is still at a beginner stage.

I thought Badge, Bayonet, Belt. Shallow Grave.
Good Luck Keep in mind you may run into live Ammunition/Grenade in that area. Dig with caution.
