Day 8 of searching for lost military relics!

[craigslistrro]

Its called a combat spoon. To this day they are carried, you never know when you will get a chance to eat, and damn well better have a spoon or you will be using your fingers.

"Found a spoon...not sure what its for"
Eating with perhaps?

ITS NOT A CLIP ITS A MAGAZINE




They wouldn’t usually get issued a pistol, but if they did it would only have 1 or two magazines



Love the series tho keep doing great stuff

[davidturk]

Each soldier would not have carried a pistol during combat. Usually officers and select NCO’s were issued pistols. Now, that’s to say that some were picked up here and there.

[quacked]

Magazines* also the soldiers who did have pistols (which weren’t many) would only have around 3 magazine (two in the ammo pouch and one in the gun)

[dragoscolescu]

Where r these places? I really want to find some ww pins, dog tags, bullets, magazines, medals, etc.

[NoodleBoi-jfng]

Usually only officers would carry handguns unless a soldier obtained one through an array of ways. Could be sent from home, looted, or probably stolen from someone else

[hubert]

Is that part of the medal connected with the one you found on day 1

[agentbray]

Something cool I just learned today is my great step grandpa pushed a tank into a river or something during ww2

[ElizabethBamsey]

You should clean all the things you find 😊

[kathryndowd]

This is what I thought I would find at the beach as a kid

[autumnsprites]

This would be a great hobby for my friend if he retires from the military. 😊

[darylhudson]

I remember the Milkman delivering the glass bottles of milk in a wire framed carrier on the porch.

[Beaufighter_]

That’s so cool a m1 carbine marksman badge and a m1 carbine magazine

[NorthFlPicker]

That marksmanship badge is sterling silver… nice find

[jackthedripper]

Hold on a minute does anyone else hear the song in the background

Edit i dont know why theres a war in the replys i was just acknowledging the song

[goono]

It's called a spoon. Usually it's used for eating. And that marksmanship badge was sick

[The_Anti_furry_General]

Wow those are 1911 mags and maybe a early m4

[eperrin]

I too wonder what the spoon is for eating perhaps

[domgraham]

Can’t wait for the release of the final volume of the trilogy…
