Yes yes it is muddy, an interesting fact when talking to my friend about this this is what he said.. "Legionary's Dagger found in Haltern, Germany. Haltern used to be an old British Army training area near Munster I was base there for 4 years back in the 1980s had a great time as a young soldier."
So it has done well to survive in one piece ...
