Dig Watch: BoB Operation Nightingale (Wiltshire): Guess the Finds!

I see 9 corrugated metal hold downs (fasteners), a screw hook, and a handle of some sort (perhaps a rip cord pull handle?)

Murray M Wagnon

Uhhh, a handle and a hook. That's all I've got!!

Pamela Langridge

Corrugated iron sheet fixings. The curved squares fit against the curve of the corrugations of the sheets. The ribbed fixing pins are nails to be hammered in, not screws.

Trevor Rix

Cup hook, what looks like a toilet roll holder bar, roof pegs, bitumen roof 'felt', glass pill jar...

Most of what you are looking at are from the wooden frames of the canvas Armbruster style Bivouac tents. perhaps a M1942 Squad Tent. The Canvas was fastened to the wooden frame with the screws you see. These quarters where temporary and could be put up in hours.

Kenneth Crips

😂🤣 you've got a good eye

Patricia Amero

Wrinkly tin, fixing bolts, dynamo from a bike?!

Mark Freestone

Bitumen damp proofing, corrugated steel fixings, window glass, pieces of tiles from under heater/stove in the hut, handle from a munitions box, glass jar, not sure what’s inside looks a bit like blotting paper or dried up liquid soap.

Dave Couchman-Boor

Hey! Have you guys been down the back of my old sofa?

Clive McIntyre

Canvas tent fittings perhaps...

Steve Mikre

It looks more like 90 degrees to me. Perhaps it was attached at a corner so that one end of it attached to the side of the vehicle and the other end attached to the end of the vehicle. Or structure.

It’s hard to gauge the size of anything in the tray, but the handle or step is interesting. I am noticing that the attachments face in different directions. Either that or it was twisted 45 degrees when it was yanked from whatever it had been attached to.

Jon Colcord

It's hard to estimate the size of items without something of known dimension for reference. At first glance my brain wants the lag screws and the screw eye to be 1/4 inch (this would make the square washers about 1.5") but they could be bigger or smaller. Depending on how big it is the U shaped item leaning against the right side looks like a grab handle or maybe a stirrup step that would be attached to something (a vehicle perhaps?) facilitate climbing onto it.

To paraphrase Howard Carter, “Yes, manky stuff”.

Eggs Ackley

Anchors(metal squares with pins in center) hook bolt with screw end for a bolt, screw top metal canister about the size to contain a roll of film, pieces of slate, a piece of unglazed pottery (like a piece of flower pot)?

Mary Lu Perham

Drinks (soda) can/cocoa/soup - the blue thing. Seems to be something fibrous (a fair bit) leather or canvas?

Hand grab aka bracket resembles those used for climbing on/off vehicles, up onto roofs., last grab on a fire tower, or the like. Twisted attachments make it hard to determine setting. Maybe up pull on a ammo case?

Ann H

Window? Glass.

JUDITH COOKE

I can see a Sky Hook!!!!

Kris Scotting

Roofing nails, Roman pottery or 19th centry tile, 19th century pottery, leather, can, hook, and a bracket for something.

Damp course made of bitumen in those days

Mel Blunt

And hook often used to hang items from ceilings
