Medals, Badges & Awards Found season 2022

Before October ended the ground had already frozen and closed the digging season. I hoped for a while that we would get a few weeks of mild weather as it often happens here in the north, but this time winter steamrolled us. That of course sucked, but at the same time I had found more goodies this season than any of the previous ones. Throughout summer I had dug up a good handfull of medals and badges, and actually the very last find I got leaving the forest the day before snow fell was a nice Sturmabzeichen, so the season ended in the best way possible at least.

Here are pics of the badges etc that I was lucky enough to grab with me:

Pip for shoulderboard and a Edelweiss for a cap.

A little deteriorated Ostmedaille, popularly called Order of the Frozen Flesh.

Burnt and destroyed Lapplandfront cross.

Another Ostmedaille, in quite good condition.

A beautiful Edelweiss.

Ostmedaille in three stages of being melted.

A Petsamo machine gun badge.

Wound Badge.

SA Sportsbadge.

The Iron Cross. Now that was fun to find :)

Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen. The last signal I dug this season.
