During one dig in the "Big Hole" area a rival group reportedly unearthed 83 assorted helmets during one operation! Unfortunately nearly all had been crushed under the weight of earth, or perhaps by a Canadian bulldozer during the burying of the mass of material in 1945.
Below; During the course of cleaning it is very obvious the original camouflage patina of some of the helmets. The children's garden toys are put to new use!
