I am back with some new photos, taken on the old Carpathian border.

What border do you mean?

Gen. Dénes

P.S. Did you use a metal detector?

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....

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...
