Went back to my local WW2 military camp site and found my third rising sun badge :lol:

Looks like I located the latrine, but was disappointed no pre decimals turned up, though I was on a winner with clean and dirtied clothing being handled. Not even a button to be had. Will need to try and work out where the old paths to the tents went and have another crack.

I unrolled a couple of toothpaste tubes to find that the inside printing was well preserved. :eek:

A larger wander yielded a handful of decimals but my glory moment was finding my first colonial small gauge black powder musket ball.... :cool:

The rising suns are always good to find, especially if they clean up well. What pre-decs did you end up getting, 3p & 6p? :)

I still have two-turds of the area to cover, butt at least I found the location of the correct date. ;)
