WW2 German Helmet and nice Badge

[CristianH]

Hello everyone, I hope that I will not disturb you and I want to present you my latest finds with a small story below. I was so excited to find a nice ww2 German helmet as you can see in the short movie about finds.

In that special day me and my brother decided to visit a WW2 zone not really far away from our city and it wasn't the first time, actually it was the third time in that zone.
The day started slowly with a few pieces of rusted iron but in a trench my metal detector started to sound like crazy with a high pitch and very deep signal. we started digging in that trench about 1 meter deep until we saw rusted iron. i was very excited because I thought it might be a helmet and it was .
It was a M40 German WW2 helmet, very rusted but not broken - and I tried the helmet on my head you can see the pictures on the video. Later in the same day I just found another German relic, it was a zinc badge also very nice and my brother has found an aluminium plate and 2 iron spikes.

Oh sorry, that part is iron and it's rusted. I'll clean that part with oxalic acid then I'll look for some marks. Thanks again

The pictures were taken in the same day I'm the first who tried the helmet then my brother wanted to try it too but his head was to big to fit in the helmet ) Only the picture with the helmet and the badge on the side was taken in the second day.
