Old Place, new finds

Gemini Alpha · Jan 25, 2013

Hi Guys, decided to hunt a location nearby an old bunker that i´ve hunted before. However, i got plenty of signals and dug out my first glasses. They are broken but its still a neat find and im really happy i can take something from the list of things i wanted to find. Also found a german coin from the 1920s, a small shield that says "6 Mark, 1896 and a number", some shells, french Optalidon Medicine from a soldiers field apothecary, a bronzering that i had to mine out from under a whole root canal and a few things i am not really sure what they are. If you know what something could be, please let me know! Happy Hunting! bye GA

Neat finds. Any markings on the bottom of the shells?

The bottom row just above the hooks it looks like you have half of a knife handle, a bit off a clamp for a radiator hose, and the large object may well be a very rusted worn in two mule shoe. It's hard to tell through all that rust.

Hi Guys, thanks for your replies!

Fitzwilk, will check the bottom of the shells for you later today. Im sure they have markings. Have found kilo Amounts of all kind of diffrent shells and most of them have something written on them.

BosnMate, i guess you are spot on because of the knife handle. It definately had something wooden nailed on it. But it is very tiny so it must have been a very small knife. Not sure about the mule shoe. My first impulse was Horse Shoe too but somehow it doesnt look like its broken. Besides, the right side doesnt really make a downward angle like it should if it would be a mule shoe. It almost looks like a tool or a handle. Will definately use oxalic acid on this one as it intrigues me. bye GA
