Hi All
Early last week my wife asked me what I wanted to do on my birthday...... 'DIGGING!' I replied......to which she shook her head, smiled, and said 'What a surprise!'. She's a good ol' girl....
Anyway, I did indeed go for a dig at a favorite site of mine. This British army dump site has produced some amazing finds over the years, but the dig on my birthday was one of the best ever. Not only because of the kind of thing coming out, but also the sheer quantity of relics I recovered.
Apologies for the number of pictures, but it really was a superb day.
If you don't want to look through the pics and prefer video, here is a link to a video of the dig....

If you do want to see the pictures, here we go!
Everything before cleaning......
And now after cleaning.....
Lee-Enfield and Sten oil bottles along with Vickers cloth belt starter tabs....
......more.............
