I got home on leave in early July, so after getting caught up on tasks like yardwork and roofing, I was able to take a roadtrip to my favorite surplus yard, where I had seen some 105 howitzer stuff. Derk Derin also showed up along with another local collector, and with a bit of digging and searching around, the bulk of the carriage was found. Many parts had sunk several inches into the ground, but with a bit of digging, we found about all we were going to find. In total, there was residue from 3 carriages.
