Excavations-6

The three-day leave in his native village did not promise any findings ...
On the first day due to a fault of my moped able to leave a one-hour walk, which is nothing but the removal of breaking, did not bring.

On the second day in the morning continuously drizzling rain, broken hope for a morning departure ...

41 photos.





By the afternoon the rain stopped and I ran for a walk in the woods soaking wet. While nothing interesting was found only box for accessories German rifle, alas-empty. Again began to rain, and wet as tsutsik, I moved to the house.

Moving forward, and here comes His Majesty Chance! Otherwise, no it does not call!) Poke a probe into a puddle in bolotinke. Rests in something. We call devices. Signals ... puts his hand in the muck straight dipstick and pull out ... skull fragment!



Continue fumbling hands. Get more bones. No doubt, we found a fighter!
Then everything is a blur! Active work. Trying to divert water as possible. Grebe shovels swamp muck. Ehh, sorry bucket with a no!

We obtain two skulls in parts, then the rest of the bone. It's not clear whose it is the men, and the men if at all.



Come across pieces of artillery mortar gunpowder, mines themselves in the amount of 3 pieces, the pieces of the wooden box from these, rubber strap, patronchiki from PCA and rifles. Find a piece of rubber, as a patch, washed-bear this image! Curious thing!
Tirelessly continue to dig the heavy clay, which can not fight off a shovel, often have to work with your hands, probing every lump, so that nothing is missed. And then I dug with a shovel and saw the silver side of the rectangular boxes! No doubt, this cigarette case! With a cry of joy, a shaking hand remove it to the light, exactly, cigarette case !!! He lay in the left trouser pocket unpreserved pants.

By sticking a piece of folded cigarette case a newspaper lying in the pocket, it was possible to discern the words of the Russian language.
