Found WWII helmet and machine gun casings in our attic today

House built in 1955 never fully explored the attic until today. Found the helmet early in and was incredibly excited because the previous owner had lived there from 1955 until his death in 2005 and then his wife lived there another 14 years. Was almost shaking a couple times because I was sure he’d have some baseball cards (found an old antique catchers mask even). But no dice. Some cool old antique soldiers and other stuff (super old Ouija board) but no sports cards. Darn

Cool day nonetheless - helmet looks like a Wermacht M42 and it’s in incredible shape. Kind of excited to hide this in my residence for the next 60 years and have someone else find it
