I think every searcher knows this. Finding a HAND knob with or without a number is a very common thing, but few people seem to know what is behind which number or even the color of the knob. I've managed to put together a little overview of how the regiments were. The information corresponds to the year 1914/1915. The button findings have been completed. Plus descriptions of the mountain hunting battalions and also the provincial gendarmerie headquarters.

The long-awaited C.Scope CS6MXi appeared on the market in early December. Since then we have been testing the detector intensively and I have to say that we enjoy it a lot. The detector has shown itself in the best light and has far exceeded everything we expected from it. Since we are literally bombarded by searchers every day asking for more information, we asked other colleagues to help us with the test this time. Also included is a video that was intended to serve as part of the instructional DVD. Unfortunately, with -9°C, the camera was out of focus at times, so we decided to release the usable material freely.

It was 23 January 1919 and Czechoslovak troops, together with the legions, began the fight for the Polish-occupied Těšín region. In this seven-day war, Czechoslovakia had the upper hand from the beginning and quickly occupied the whole area. The war also brought about a rare dispute between Masaryk and Beneš, with Masaryk wanting to fight and Beneš fearing the reaction of the powers of the agreement.

It happened in 1938 during the works in Khujut Rab. Just outside Baghdad. Here, German archaeologist Wilhelm Konig recovered a five-inch-long (13cm) clay vessel containing a copper cylinder that encased an iron wire. The vessel showed signs of corrosion and initial tests indicated the presence of an acidic agent. Probably wine or wine vinegar.
