Unearthing history: Abandoned WWII relics in the Arctic Tundra

Heavy fighting took place at the most Northern edge of the German Nazi Third Reich back in April 1945.
A forgotten battle overshadowed by the Battle of Berlin which took place at the exact same moment. High up North, where conditions where harsh, the remains of the German army that fought in the Soviet Union were on the run for the Red army. Although the Germans where outnumbered and lacked Armored cars and tanks, they still managed to withhold the Red Army at this spot.
Much thanks to our local guides there, Stian, Ken and Kim, we managed to find some evidence of that tough battle.Besides metal detecting beasts all these guys are true legends and feel proud and blessed to have meet these guys.
Also need to thank Kim2, Viking Jan and Bunker Ben for joining our adventure and for a fun and exciting trip.

FAQ:
-Do you report things found to the authorities?
Yes, all nasty things found like UXO's and finds that could be important from an archaeology perspective are reported to the local authorities.
-Do you sell finds?
I am a collector myself so I hardly sell relics. But if I do then I'll post it on the social media pages or think about becoming a Patron, because I'll share finds with my Patrons (check out the Patreon website for details).
-How do you gain permission for metal detecting?
Check out local laws regarding metal detecting and get permission from the landowner. Or hook up with a local metal detecting club in the area you would like to detect and get your information from them. (I stopped responding to questions like this all together, I'm Iron Mike not Google Mike..)
