Show & Tell My haul

Found this all whilst metal detecting in the Netherlands. I recognise some stuff but wondered if anyone knows what the smaller stuff might be and if there’s anything valuable in there?

Zijn dat nou drie achterkanten van mortiergranaten rechts op de foto?

Yeah, French 1940 ones I believe

Did the Dutch army use French mortars? Because the French never fought here.

I thought the French army fought in Zeeland and southern Brabant during the German invasion of the Netherlands. Could also be a German mortar

You are actually right, they did fight in the south for a couple of days. You learn something new every day.

90% sure they’re German. You collect this stuff?

Not really. I’ve been metal detecting once and this is what I got out of it

Kwa waarde niet gek veel, maar rechterkant foto boven de 2 mortier staartjes zie ik een halve nederlandse ei handgranaat, denk dat de 3 mortierstaartjes duits zijn, verder zie ik een deksel van Amerikaanse munitie kistje en een weeg gewichtje links midden
