Thanks again for sharing your hard work, knowledge and understanding of your finds, I learn something new to learn in every episode. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴

You are partially correct. They dumped their gear to move faster. The incriminating theory is wrong. My grand father was a Wehrmacht soldier and they tossed every but food. They literally threw weapons in the woods because they didn’t want a firefight. They just wanted to surrender

A little bit of history. My father grew up in Ludinghausen. Yes he was a German foot soldier, and so was his brother. My mom was born in Ulm. She lived with her step mom and dad. Her step dad worked as a train engineer, during and after the war. As for me, I went to cooking school in Bad Reichenhall back in 1977. Since retiring I bought a metal detector. It's a whites V3i. Top of the line. As for me I live in Jacksonville, FL. So I use my detector at the beaches. Alot of can tabs, enough to fill up a 55 gallon plastic garbage can. But my greatest finds were a Rolex Watch and a complete wedding set. His and hers,plus her very large engagement ring. The owners names were on the inside so I found them and called them. The husband was going to write a check, but I told him cash only. Checks bounce. So he gave me 10,000.00 dollars. That Rolex watch I still wear. Plus I found 2 gold coins, but they were not to old. My silver coin collection is about 40,000 coins. Plus normal old coins from the 40's and the way to the 2015. I don't go anymore since I lost my leg below my knee, plus my age. I just turned 63 and my back won't let me swing that detector. So I gave it to my daughter. She loves her new hobby. Love your videos

It looks like you have a trash dump. I have seen many of these in the western US, and they contain exactly this--bottles (usually broken, but some whole), broken dishes, tin cans, odds and ends of household and personal items, etc. One item to note, on the dates on the plates-- that's when they were made, not when they were dumped there. But you most certainly have a dump of some type of habitation, probably an army camp. Maybe a field kitchen, since there are so many broken dishes
