Complete bust until i cleaned all that trash

[Westfront]

We have a new farm on the list and gave it a try. Not that we expected much there, just nice to have more land on hand. Still some roman supposed there. We criss crossed the field closest to the farm and got nothing than WWII junk. After an hour we changed to the other side of an old track closer to the village and stumbled almost immidiately over roman roof tile and pottery shards. The village was in the front line in 1944 and there was so much shrapnel in the soil, detecting was almost impossible. We tried for two hours there and got nothing roman other than some lead and nail what told us were on a site. Pouch was heavy filled with driving band frags, cal. .50 bullets and fuze parts. Just a mid to late 17th.C. buckle found. I had to leave early due to family stuff and when i washed all that trash from today before i threw it in the brass bin two items draw attention. One turned out to be an Iron Cross miature from WWI and the other is half of the lower half of a WWI ID tag. Due to the design with the small characters it is a tag after 1917 belonging to a Mr. (?) Herrmanns from Duesseldorf living in (?street) 95. He served in (?) Infantry Reg. 41. Interesting how his dog tag got there and if the Iron Cross miniature belongs to him as well. So the field gave some stuff to talk about though.
