Steve T Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi all Relic hunting and digging in the UK can be very productive, if you know where to look! I do an awful lot of research before setting foot on a site, to improve my chances of finding relics, and to make sure I talk to the right landowner to get permission. The vast majority of the relics I find are general military and domestic items that have a direct link to WW2. Sometimes, just sometimes, I find a relic that can be attributed to WW2 and to the unit that used it. Rarely, very rarely, I find a relic that can be attributed to WW2, to one unit, and to ONE man. The below video shows one such item. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago I found it as it is always clear in my mind, but it got back home......The Relic Watch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve T Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 General mooch and it is 18k I think it broke and he just chucked it when he couldn't repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Either that or conveniently lost it in a card game .Surprised as obviously you would have thought the case he would have treasured even if the movement broke,still funny things become less priorities in a war .
