Metal detecting for relics in different ww1 and ww2 areas of Romania.
WW1 – CAMPULUNG MUSCEL BATTLE
2h of prospecting a new remote high mountain area. Surely getting back for more hours to dig 😉
JASSY AREA 1944 – PART 4 – MISSING SOLDIER AND MORE
Emotional stuff 2 days ago. Found the remains of a fallen soldier – a skull and mixed bones from legs, arms ribs… No ID tag. German, Russian, Romanian, civil, who knows? I found it on a slope, 5m under some trenche line where in 1944 the 79.Infanterie Division were fighting…
WEHRMACHT AMMO CACHE NEAR THE DANUBE – TELLERMINE PARTS AND OTHER COOL STUFF
Did a 3h test dig in a forest near the Danube where, based on some satellite images, a Wehrmacht ammo cache should have been. Some locals confirmed the story. Giant hollow holes and some zipper trenches were still present and this was a good sign. Even though the forest was…

I found two SSh-40 Russian Army helmets while metal detecting near Targu Frumos
During 1944, especially in Spring and late Summer, the Red Army attacked on the whole front-line established from Targu Neamt – Pascani – Targu Frumos – Podul Iloaei to Iasi. No wonder traces are still to be found, trenches kilometers long are still to be seen and searched and…
Small Metal Detecting outing in the Targu Frumos Area – WW2
This spring I went again in the Targu Frumos area where, last year, I found the German mess tin with the nice bullet holes in it. Some Wehrmacht small relics were to be found again, like the backpack strap buclkes, but mostly, I found lots of Russian Army…
