I collect helmets and I love German Pickelhauben. But unfortunately they are expensive, and I restore the helmets found in the battlefields
I restored these helmets that were found,

Sergei also writes

Yet I collect soldiers and paint them. Soldiers in a scale 1-72
(I have added a few of his photos, I think he is worth millions just in the value of the lead in the soldiers)

A few more photos of Sergei's helmets, notice the Filtz with what looks like a bullet hole through the Wappen.

Very interesting finds and I can understand the thrill of battlefield archeology however this also raises the question what if human remains are found? This seems to me quite conceivable and I would not be surprised if human remains were found together with the filtz containing a bullet hole through the wappen.

Best regards,

Edwin

No remains were not, archaeologists tend not to take the dead is a sin

Here are a few more photos

Notice that not all the items found are WWI or WWII vintage!

I like the beauty of this shot, it is such a peaceful place on the surface!

And I saved the very best photos for the last!!!!

I think Sergei and I have been in communication in the past, as I believe that he is the one from whom I acquired a couple of glass Russian water bottles as well as a few other items. In our part of the world, about all we can find laying on the ground are Indian arrow heads or such.

Thanks for posting the photos Gus!

Sergei, welcome to the Forum!
Nice stuff your friend has unearthed! In which region was that and how come you also found antique coins? They seem pre-Christ era; what are they?
In addition to thos coins, I particularly like the Russian Machine Gunner badge and your Mosin-Nagant. Are they both WW1?

Coins of the Roman era. How long exactly do not know. I know nothing about coins. Mosin - Nagant Soviet period is a brand in 1941
Western Ukraine is rich in antiques there were ancient trade routes. The settlement of the ancient Slavs quadrupeds from the period of Rome

Sorry for my English. I use the internet - a translator
Perhaps it takes is not quite right

 

[RON]

I have a few antiques myself (mainly Phoenician & Roman); mostly bought, a few unearthed. There's nothing like the feeling of undigging an old Roman lamp on your own, no matter how 'regular'/'basic' the design might be...

I also have a WW1 and WW2 Mosin-Nagants but not in the great condition yours in.
Thanks again for the photos!

Thanks to everyone in the placement of pictures

Wow, all those lead soldiers! I always feel that helmets with battle damage such as the one with the bullet hole are a bit spooky. Nice find!

What a very interesting group of pictures! Thank you. I don't know anything about coins but I agree with Ron–interesting stuff.

There is nothing wrong with your translator. You can be understood with no problems. Please do not let language stop you from posting more pictures!

I spent a lot of time in the city of Lviv. I commanded the American battalion that went there for Peace Shield 93 and 94. We did training operations with the 24th Iron division. There were several military stores as well as the Museum downtown. I wanted very badly to buy some stuff however, there was a law in the Ukraine that said you could not remove anything from the country that was older than 50 years. Everyone ignored the law except for me! It was an amazing time.

I think the most valuable thing in those pictures is the young boy near the end. Fine looking young man!

I should have named this Ukrainian archaeology.

You have amazed me with that that you were in Ukraine. I unfortunately won't understand as it is necessary to place correctly photos on a site
I live in the city of Mariupol it is in the southeast of Ukraine, at coast of sea of Azov

The son plays soldiers on a scale 1-32
his big collection of Soviet toy soldiers are no longer producing toys factory
Now they are a rarity

Lviv was called Lemberg during ww1 and was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Lemberg was the scene of many bloody battles, including the Brusilov offensive (see also Norman Stone's book on the Eastern front). The latter is painfully evident from the many interesting finds from these former battle fields.

With regards to me previous question, I was wondering what you would do if human remains were encountered. This seems to me a real possibility based on the number of personal items that you found (coins, uniform buttons)?

Regards,

Edwin

At us many search groups which are engaged in a burial place of remains of soldiers. In general bury with honors
