I spent several hours at the old Fort on Saturday. I'm used to finding small items but this time I found some larger and heavier items. First, I found a bayonet scabbard (no bayonet). Then, I found a complete mess kit though part of it was so heavily corroded that it crumbled like paper when I tried to clean it. In the same hole, I also found a corroded canteen cup. Lugging those dirt encrusted hunks of metal around all day was not fun but the hunt was a blast.
The knife was rusted to pieces and part of the blade is stuck to the fork handle
Canteen cup
Misc. finds. If you look real close you can see the little white lead pellet.
1944 war nickel
