I meant the old border across Olt valley, Coti and Lotrului mountains.
Most of my findings are "surface" finds. Only this time I have used a "supermarket" MD. It prooved quite good for 3-5cm of soil.... |

This is me firing an original Henry-Martini rifle in Malta, blank bullets, a couple of years ago.

Another trip to the Campulung Muscel nearby hills...found this fuze cca. 5cm in diameter, visible markings, my guess is that it's a german time fuze for a shrapnell round.

A few days leave from work, another trip to the ww1 battlefields from Olt Valley. I found some relics on a slope without leaves, washed by the last rain, barely visible on the surface.
This are the remnants of a crate of somekind...  ...and somekind of a frying pan, cca.25 cm in diameter...  |

what can i say......amazing
 i don't know how others think about these kind of findings, but for me, when i find something like this...man its a treasure....  really.... i once took to a museum employee a helmet for restoration and when he saw it, with battle damage...he said that has a better value as it is..  so...keep searching andi... |

He was right. The least the items are messed with, the greater collectible value they have.
