"15km from my house were a camp with 50 000 SS soldiers guarding by US Army-uniforms and equipment was thrown in the heaps and burned.."

You should metal detect in that area, considering that medals, etc, are not flamable.
Exellent photos by the way.

Jean,
this spot is hoovered since 1980 very frequently.I have no metal detector as I
do not like the condition the things found .Of course there are exceptions..
I search much larger things hidden by SS soldiers- a quite different story I mentioned somewhere in the past..Very thrilling and time consuming ..without succes for the time beeing..Do you metal detect?

[Jean-Loup]

Yes, I metal detect, and often post things in the living history forum. I remember your story of hidden boxes in the forest, and remember sending you a PM with advice on what to do.
