Hello guys, I got words about an old military dumping ground at a local river where i live,

So as a metal detector person i went there of course, 

So i found two bullets and an SS pin for now, may i have some help seing if it is an original pin please.

I am guessing the red one is a 7.62 mm, And the fat one is a 9mm.

Hey

If you found the SS part yourself, it should also be an original. I think in Norway no one will dump copies in the middle of nowhere.
The pictures are large, but unfortunately not much can be seen.
A 7.62mm doesn't fit there. They were not introduced into NATO until 1958.
And haven't seen it in red either.

Hard to see the rear details in that photo. The SS badge...is it a dagger part or a screwback pin? Membership pins were marked on the rear, and I've never seen a screwback. Unfortunately, when it comes to SS stuff, so much fake stuff is out there that yes, fake stuff has been found by detectorists

 

Now, dagger pieces have posts, similar to...

I spent 8 months stationed at Vaernes back in 2017. As I'm sure you know, it was appropriated by the Luftwaffe during WWII and I would take the CMD out metal detecting in my spare time. I always hoped I'd find a Norwegian or German badge or button to remember the deployment with, but sadly I never did.

 

There are a couple of Norwegians over at the Warrelics Forum who metal detect...this guy's topic in particular is fun to watch: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/battlefield-history-relics/digging-norway-kurland-340658/

The red bullet is maybe a traser?  Maybe post war, I am not sure, assuming it was found near the pin, I think it was made during the war and shot then. Maybe MG42 traser, you never know. Just my 2 cents!
