Some marshes in the area are dryed out.
Digging is easy, like in butter, also there are no roots, no
corks, nails, cans and other subjects that interfere with using
a metal detector. We have delayed digging in marshy areas until October to avoid
the mosquitos.
Items recovered from a marsh are in a good
condition. With cleaning this Soviet grenade would look like
new. We don't pick up grenades with no launch pin. We burried
this grenade.
First item is Soviet vaseline. Some left and
even have an original smell. Vaseline is still produced in the
same packaging today.
Aluminium spoon and fork is standard German army set.
The spoons are often found at Soviet positions, the Soviet
soldiers were throwing their heavy spoons away and taking
trophies.
So did I. Now, I carry the aluminium set on
campings and big soviet iron spoon that was found in Bukrin is
retired.
