Yesterday I found this pretty pocket watch from nearby forest. All we had found earlier were usual 1918 civil war stuff like bullets. Then i dug this knife from old Russian made trench that was used in our cw. Then one intresting button  Smiley.Also post here pic of silver copec I mentioned in another topic  Grin. Then today I went alone to fields. 16 musketballs from 1713 battle of Kostianvirta. Copper coins, silver spoon, even old spoonbait. Some other relics.

Great finds.  icon_thumleft

Det vi vet er så uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som går langs en strand og finner småtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene får han aldri se.

Thanks everyone! Smiley I think it is WW1 or little bit earlier. Trench where I found it was used only in Finnish civil war, and knife might be dropped by soldier.
