My finds in this AUTUMN

Very nice finds!

Indeed they are! I think I could ask "what will you do with them now"? Sell them or what?

Yes, maybe I'll sell these things. I need the money ... I am a student )))))))))
I ask your assistance in determining the membership of these things. That these things are meaningful? Who used them?

The first piece on the left it's a rank sign, for "fruntaş" (aproximatelly private first class), from romanian army. It was weared on the epaulletes.

The "V" shape items might be "wounded sign", issued for soldiers who were wounded in battle. I dont know if they are romanian, but if so, they were weared on the left arm on the uniform.

The little cross looks orthodox and might be romanian, when I was a child in middle '70's, the romanian orthodox church was manufacturing this kind of little crosses, made from aluminium and they were almost the same design as in photo, if not identical.

I think like that

Yes, I dug up the ID tag and the cross together.
These things were lying on the bottom of the ravine, abandoned or lost a soldier.
Soldiers from 91 Infantry Regiment 20 th Romanian division, this division was killed at Stalingrad.

Do you have pictures of soldiers with stripes like that?

All these uniform and personal items "lost" together in a ravine sounds very much to me like found in a grave.

Do you have any idea about this staff?

I second that...

Where are these items found more exactly? Were there bones found also in these excavations?

It all sounds very... strange... "excavations near the city"... I really hope someone is not digging up graves or things like that for a couple $.

Guys, I swear that these things are found free of the remains of soldiers !!!!!
I am an honest person and do not loot!
Look at the pictures where you see the remains of soldiers? They do not, I dig the military trash in the bottom of the ravine.

I am very interested in uniforms of Romanian soldiers. I ask you to help me in identifying items found me.

Don't want to take any part but finding personal items does not mean at all there are human remains around. One can find a lot of such items in a dump area or in a zone where heavy combat took place.
Thinking that next to a coin or a dog tag seen on a picture must be a bone too is very childish.
