Metal Detecting Germany ,WW2 Relics ,Found K98 mauser Rifle in Hurtgenwald

While i was searching with my metal detector , i came across the remains of a german K98 mauser rifle ,
it was just laying on the ground , a bit odd after almost 70 years in a forrest that is open for recreation , maybe it was found earlier in time ?..its still a nice find ! ,

if u find a ww2 relic like a german helmet in a different country from where u live, will the airport allow u to take it home?

@sickcunt1218

i dont know ,,

when in doubt the better option is to send it to your home adress in a package / parcel

I think the americans take the bolt out because the germans surrendered right there and just left it on the ground, maybe the german soldier self left it because he was surrendering

@desfa000

i wonder what they did with the bolt ? buried with others

would be great to find the bolt

Sad. In all probability the person who touched the rifle before you did was the man carrying it. And in all probability he died or was dying when the rifle left his hands. Beautiful place. Excellent story you have told here. Did you find the 8mm stripper clip near the weapon's remains?

My Dad would always comment on how beautiful Germany was, the woods in particular, in contrast to what they were doing over there.
