<p>[QUOTE="oasisnow7, post: 568047, member: 6754"]I used to love going detecting. Living in Heidelberg,Germany you can go up into the hills find lots of old coins (most in bad shape) But the best thing I have found was with a friend of mine He used to work on a German base and was watching some workman one day digging a trench he noticed piles of stuff they were pulling up .He went out there on his lunch time and then called me we went out to the tench and damn if there was not 1 or 2 but many German Helmets/ old bayonets/buttons...etc So we kept digging and found military insignia( uniform badges) lots of plates and cups some together some broken but underneth all the plates was a swastika with the date 1942.. To make a long story short we talked to someone who knew the story behind the area when the allies came they gave the base of peacefully and were ordered to throw old surplus helmets/bayonets uniforms and anything else into the garbage pit and then everything was lit on fire ( alot of the stuff we found was burned and melted) . But alot of the stuff was in great shape. And by the way the german workman did not even care they bascially didn't want anything to do with it. I added a couple of pics[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
