At the base of an old oak wrapped in plastic, and inside a mason jar. this came out of the hole. It rang up at 20 kHz around 61-72 with jumpy numbers on the Anfibio multi It was approximately 7 inches down. I did absolutely nothing to the knife how it looks is how it came out of the hole. When I dug the plug I broke the jar. Does anyone know anything about the knife? Is it post war? Pre war?Or ww2 era? Any info would be appreciated .

There are originals of this Waffen SS knife that are worth hundreds. There are also reproductions for sale currently for ten dollars. It may be worth having it authenticated.

Anything stamped at the base of the blades ? awesome find

The only thing it says on the blades is stainless in a stamp. I really didn’t expect to find it under a tree in Pennsylvania.

Is "stainless" in English?

Yes as I was reading your post I realized it’s a reproduction because it wouldn’t be written in English. Damn well cool find just not what i thought it was. Thanks for the help dizzy.

Nice! Too bad about the jar, we might have been able to put a date on it.

That is an extremely COOL find. Just goes to show you will never know what in the world you may find when you go out detecting. Let us know when you find the matching Nazi Dagger and Luger Pistol. LOL
