yes. please tell us how.
im sure it wasnt sitting on a rock.

Sorry it took a bit of time to get back to reply. It wasn't just sitting on a rock but it was on the surface of the ground (not buried). It was in grass about 2 feet long that hasn't been cut since the allies burned it off during the naval bombardment in 1944 (the slope of the bluff where I found it is about 60 degrees to the horizontal and very difficult to walk on). I found it with my metal detector. It was under a layer of dead matted grass about 6 inches thick on the surface of the sand of the bluff. I found about 60 rounds of .30 caliber, about half still in their clips the rest the fired cases, about 40 German bullet casings, all fired and an mg 42 machine gun belt on the same day.

no photo yet. still working on it. sorry.
