Nice finds! I noticed some of the pics had what look like coins. If you are ever looking to sell some of those coins I am always interested Good luck with your digging- you have some excellent stuff!

Неllo Andrew. Yes coins come across, but German zinc coins usually in bad condition.

Sounds like something I will need to look into next time I go to Europe

Considering the incredible amount of carnage as a result of WWII, it's amazing to me that there is constant criticism over ground-dug artifacts, especially by MILITARIA collectors. After all, these are relics of mortal combat, not cabbage patch dolls. Every single time this subject comes up, there is the same pissing and moaning. Unless a known cemetery is disturbed, and as long as the remains are reported when they ARE found, all this whining seems ridiculous. Hell, my favorite piece is an early shrapnel-damaged helmet found in Russia I have that still has the guy's mummified ear inside.

Is this a photo of a photo??Please can you post a shot of the helmet and of the mummified particular?Thanks!

if you're paying for art lessons you're wasting your money

seriously, that ear/hair looks like a still from the Rhen and Stimpy cartoon, it can't be real...can it?
