3)  A couple of unopened packages of Cigarettes from the 1940's - The Netherlands, thought that these were not that common as the seller only had one on display and after I bought it he pulled out 5 more packages but then again the two packages for 7 and a half Euros I will not complain.....

Nice items! A dream of mine to go over there and hunt for ww2 items also. Is there much hanging about still?

Nice picks.Battlefield archaeology...that's what I want to do sometime.Trick is to get it back over through bloody customs!

Back home.....

Yes there is still a certain amount of WW2 items to be had but you have to look.....

There were a number of flea markets and saw a number German items and one person had a number of WW2 German helmets but at a good price.....

I have a few Friends in the NL and visit them when I go over. They all relic hunt and some of the finds are something else.
I have some Para clips attached to camo parachute material, given to me as a gift.
I am told next time I visit a few of them will take me relic hunting and everything they find that day will be given to me.

When I go to Europe I drive to Normandy, then Flanders, up to the NL then back through the Somme, as I go in late May, the farmers are plowing the fields, in the WW1 areas you can find tons of stuff in the fields.
I have a lot I have mailed home or just brought back with me
