For me it was "flack" jackets and the usual camo clothing.

 Metal ammo tins.


I did learn that some are very valuable and others are $1-$5.   Mine so happened to be in the $1, if it was in good condition, class......and they weren't.

I found a letter in a safe from a soldier postmarked (airmail) 2 days after the Normandy invasion. In the letter the soldier was letting his family know that he survived. Pretty cool piece of history.
