Message:: [QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8118213, member: 86498"]The battlefield is located somewhat to the north and east of Osnabrück. I visited the site back in October 2017 and I walked the site of the battle. It was a gloomy and there was some patches of light rain. A perfect day to see the site. The German field positions  were located on the top of a low rise.[ATTACH=full]1413177[/ATTACH] German positions seen from the front.

At right center in this picture one can see some archeological activity. The German position would be on the opposite side of the field. One thing I did notice was there was a lot of earthworm activity in the open field. Luckily for me no ethical dilemma. Though I did ask myself. What if.......  I think I would have turned over what ever I found. There were a number of coins on display one of which was this aureus of Augustus.[ATTACH=full]1413189[/ATTACH]As well as this Roman ceremonial face mask which is probably the most celebrated find at this site[ATTACH=full]1413193[/ATTACH]I agree despite being a bit out of the way, this is a place worth visiting[/QUOTE]
