- Hello guys, thanks for watching our sixth relic hunting episode. In this video we show you the relics we found after spending a day in the German Eifel. We tried to locate US and German positions and we managed to return home with some good finds. This area has seen some heavy and ferocious battles in the end of 1944 and first months of 1945. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks again for watching and we hope to see you again when we upload the next video!
Small mistake, mortar tale should of course be mortar tail. No matter how many times you watch it before uploading, there's always an error in it ;-)
Disclaimer: this video has no political motive or whatsoever, we only want to show you the traces of history that can still be found. Apart from the rules and laws that apply to the specific areas we visit, we always make sure the environment is not damaged and that potential dangerous and illegal finds to possess, such as unexploded ordnance, are reported to the right authorities. We are also aware of the possibilityof finding a missing soldier or ID tags. In case we would find such a thing, we will always inform the right authorities (which we have done several times after finding ID tags) and stop digging ourselves. We will let the experts take over and let them identify and rebury the soldier. We will never take any belongings. Nothing we find is for sale. We don't dig for profit, but because we love history and we want to preserve the objects we find. We have never sold a thing, and we never will. Asking about it is useless. Thanks.

Thanks Ricardo. There are no problems taking these finds. Best, HR.
I enjoy history. I got about every WW1 and 2 documentaries. I hope I do. I enjoy it a lot, you can learn a lot from the past and apply it to make a better future. Great videos.
Hey, thanks! I always find it annoying to watch videos in which nobody explains a thing. Good to hear you appreciate how we do it :)
You know what we probably wouldn't know much about history if it wasn't for you guys out there diggin it up and trying to find out when and where it came from, so us idiots could google it and find out what we need to know, GOD BLESS YOU ALL. You are apprieciated even if you don't think so. Keep up the good work guys.
I really like enjoy like the way you show the way they looks now & the way they did looked then. And even tell what it is. It makes it so much more interesting. Thanks for sharing.
It must be fun to dig up these history artifacts. Just to stand there and think of what all these soldiers went through day after day just to stay alive. To fight to see another day. God Bless all the soldiers that didnt make it back home and for the soldiers that came back home to their loved ones...
Great archeology , bringing history alive!
Some things dont change. I find parts of harmonicas in civil war camps all the time. I would love to hunt that stuff with you though. My dad was a 30 cal machine gunner in the battle of the buldge . Without relic hunters like you history would rust away. Thanks !
You guys do an amazing job ! My imagination becomes very active seeing you retrieve these artifacts , I almost can see the battle in progress ! Much Respect to all those who served ! Keep the videos coming !
I want so badly to go to the old battlefields and do this.......
BUT, I cant. So I'll just watch your videos.
But man, I wish I could find some stuff like those browning bullet belt links

lucky
Glad to hear you like the videos :) Best, HR.
Great video... seems the small things tell the important story of the war. Thanks for taking the time to create such a watchable production. I'm off to watch the rest.
Gentleman . Another great video with some fine relics ! Well done . Thanks for sharing
thankyou for sharing this look back into history, its just amazing
Thanks!
Hey Nitraatje, thanks! Happy to hear you like it :) Best, HR.
Thanks for another great episode. I really enjoy your videos and I am glad that you guys can use passion for history to preserve these relics. Great music by the way!
Anyone who has the love of ww2 history should subscribe to this channel. The editing is fantastic, keep up the great work.
Hi.u guys doing great job,i also find some things in eastern europe where i live.hope i will this year recordit.
Jozef
Great video's guys. Keep sharing. Love it. Thank you so much from the US
i second this^
Thanks!
Welcome.. Please keep doing the hunts for relics. History / statists and war needs to be remembered so it doesn't happen again and again. So bad that countries commit war in the name of virtue and nothing could be further from the truth. Wrapping one in a green costume or the flag of your country doesn't make you bullet proof, and doesn't make murder moral! Just my two pence though as I'm into philosophy! :-)
Another excellent video!!! I really enjoy how you make extensive use of historical footage. Keep up the great work.
Relicthunting is so awesome can´t wait to start!!!!
I used to find all kinds of stuff in the Hohenfels area in the mid '90's. Shell casings, 75 and 88 mm shells, pieces of tracks, chunks of armor, mortar rounds, bits from C-rations, and other stuff. I guess there was some armors action there during the push to Nurnberg.
You're welcome, good to hear ;) Best, HR.
It really depends in which region you want to dig. There are forests in the Brandenburg area that are strictly forbidden to dig in, because of the many missing soldiers. We don't dig in those areas, first of all because it's a grave yard and secondly because we like to dig in places where people aren't really bothered by it. The best situation is to dig on private property with permission, or with locals folks. Especially the last I can recommend. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! Cool finds. Keep posting! And good luck finding all that stuff!
I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks.
Thanks Sam, interesting to hear your father fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I guess you heard a lot of good stories then? We have visited many locations in the Bulge, fascinating landscape and history. Best, HR.
Outstanding Work! Hope you Keep making them and taking us along on your hunts!
I'll see if there's something I can do about it in our next video. Thanks for leaving your thoughts here.
I love that m1 garand clip!!!! i love the m1 garand!
thanks! I have no idea how long it will be before I am there, so leave some stuff for me haha, anything I find will be used as a display, and to help pass on history, plus I hope it will help me learn more about my heritage, and maybe visit my great uncles grave in Florence, he was killed in rome as part of the US invasion, really look forward to learning more about my German side, and bringing home my great grandfathers uniform from both wars, he was in Adolfs platoon in WW1
Your videos are very professionally executed and a pleasure to watch. Well done!
I was on Iwo Jima in 2001 and explored uinderground and found lots of stuff. Searching old battlefields can be dangerous as I have found old hand grenades, explosives, shells, etc. They can still kill
Impeccable Finds ! Love the videos. Thank u for sharing.
I can't believed there still weapons from world war 1 & 2 so amazing
This was so exciting!
Nice metal detecting music! I wonder if the conductor told the choir and orchestra that the music is going to be used for a metel detection video. Lol :)
Another fabulous video, and beautifully edited.... thanks.
awesome video guys keep up the great work finding these awesome relics
Thanks.
There will always be relics left, so that's good news :) No matter how many times you walk through the same area, new relics will always turn up, no place is empty. So I'm sure you will find something. Anyway, I hope you will manage to do all that, good luck to you :)
Easter europe looks alot like northern France ! Your videos are great guys !
The only thing we can do is trying to preserve as much as possible. Fortunately there is still a lot to see in museums.
wow your videos are awesome. great finds and awesome how you show what the pieces go to. thanks and great job.
Thank you, you are very informed.
You guys should have a real TV show that follows you. However, never stop posting on CZcams, I love your videos.
Thanks for the compliment! :)
your vids are brill they explaine things you find at the point you pick them from the ground instead of haveing to wait until the end of the vids,,well done,,
Your videos are sooooo good, i cant wait to see all of them. Your hobby is very interesting! Well done!
Thanks for stopping by, we really appreciate it!
Great job.. Once again!!
I don't think we'll lose it all to corrosion in the next few decades, we're still finding brass and lead items from the Bronze Age. The steel will still be recognizable for years to come.
Definately not all, but still a lot. Materials like brass will not corrode for the coming ages, but helmets and thin iron relics will definately disappear in the coming years/decades. It also depends on the soil type etc. The quality of relics differs very much.
Noo, not thanks for watching guys, thanks for uploading, awesome!
You guys always release brilliant videos :)
Good stuff guys, very interesting. Keep the videos coming!!
AMAZING
Thanks
Amazing channel , keep up the good work .
This was awesome.
Wow..Very Moving...Music fits well also!..Great Job!!
Excellent!
It must be great wandering through the forests, discovering these relics. Really enjoy your hunts. Subbed! All the best, Ash.
Would be cool to look for WWI finds if anything is left from that long ago, but this is really cool.
there's obviously plenty left, or what else is this vid about? :P
someday, I'm gonna find a Tiger and get rich
awesome, that is a great plan, i will be visiting family in Munich soon, hope to see ya in a hunt out there
THANK YOU
It's a shame this history will disappear so fast, best of luck saving these artifacts from imminent destruction.
This is so cool. Y'all keep up to good work.
music touches your videos. With best wishes from St. Petersburg.
Thank you, glad to hear you liked it :).
Nice video! Thanks!!
great video! A Colt .45 would be my coolest find..
Thanks for stopping by!
I've got a lead on 3 warehouses full to the ceiling with WWII surplus still in the wooden crates. The warehouses are 2 stories tall.
Very Nice Video and some special founds ! greetings from germany !
Well good luck in that case, maybe you can find some good finds yourself. Always better than buying ;) Best, HR.
Brilliant video
your video is put together really well and some of your finds are fantastic.i have subscribed to your channel and i will watch some more when i get chance...
Great video. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the comment!
You guys should check out the Saar-Moselle Triangle near Luxembourg. The Western Wall was like a mini Siegfried Line.
Very interesting & well done videos gentlemen.
My dad was an 8th AF B-17 pilot, he saw a lot of planes from both sides of the conflict go down all over Europe. They would be so widely scattered, & buried deep I imagine, but it still makes me wonder if you ever come across in pieces or parts of aircraft?
I type this as the video plays, now watch you guys find something like that in this video..lol
I actually came here from a video of an FW 190 found in a German forest.
Great job, subscribed!
That depends on which countries you would like to visit..
In my opinion on the Western Front the relics least interesting than on the Eastern front,
but this movie interesting, Good Luck with a new relics!
Brilliant video mate :)
Hallo Freek. Dat verschilt per land en daarnaast ook nog eens per regio. Een tip: probeer vooral op privé grond toestemming te krijgen, dan heb je ook niet te maken met regels die op staatsgrond gelden, je zult verbaasd zijn hoe vaak je op privé grond toestemming kan krijgen! En wanneer je spullen vindt die gevaarlijk zijn, zorg dan altijd dat ze in ieder geval weer diep begraven liggen. Mocht de locatie een drukke plek of wandelroute zijn bijv, dan is melden aan de politie het beste. Gr. HR.
Great video
Yes that's often the case.. I hope you heard some stories at least. It's a shame more and more stories are lost forever (I'm not saying I don't understand it, because I do).
best video
Hello, interesting! Did you find that stuff with the use of a metal detector or just by walking through the area?
Nice video man! Alweer een meesterwerk! ;)
i´m brazilian, what i think about your job?....it´s amazinnnnnng; please never stop to give us news videos.
abraços de seus fas do brasil
Good job. Greetings from Poland.
As the case with allot of combat veterans he did not talk about it to his family. He did however confide in a friend of mine who's mother was one of General Eisenhower secretaries stationed in London during the war.
good stuff.
By the way, the video production is quite good (I'm ex-BBC and I have a production company), nice selection of archive footage too.
Hell, I'll come over if you're giving the tour. But I settle for video exploration. Thanks.
very good
omg that was great guys thanks i love your vids like and sub :D
very emotional...
I guess they took them home.Finding a Luger would be nice to! Thanks for replying....Stephen.
Hi Stephen, we found a Luger already. You can find the video on our channel :) Best, HR.
Wish mine detector technology came with an LCD screen were you could see the object before having to dig it up, like an x-ray.
Sorry but we don't sell anything. For historical reasons we keep all we find together and our intentions are not to make money but to preserve these relics and conserve them for the future. The plan is to display it in a public collection all together.
I have done similar in the falklands... Though everything is literally still laying on the surface cos the soil is so poor and wasn't so long ago. Imagine the "clear up" operations after ww2!!!
good video
Hi guys! i know a very metalic WW2 place :the boarder between germany and belgium near Raeren,Ondenval,a small valley is full of relics underground.Everybody in the village can tell u where to go.
Where do you find this music?! It fits the video like a glove! Great stuff!!
