  • In this battlefield research video we show you some interesting war relics that we found in our last visit on the eastern front. Such as medals, edelweiss, helmet and other things that were left behind in the woods after the war.
    Greetings from Holland.

    Good to see this stuff recovered and not rotting in the dirt. These are valuable links to the past and to the men who carried them. Impressive finds and good work.

    Great video guys, I used to live in north Germany back in the mid 60`s,and i always remember that strange feeling of "something happened here" when i was in the forests with my dad, we found all kinds of wartime stuff just lying around(no detectors in those days) Next year when i get my camper van i will start coming over to visit the battle sites and hopefully put my minelab to good use. Thanks for the video`s

    Thanks man!

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 12 lety +1

    You're welcome. There are areas where is fought in every small village, and when there is a piece of forest in the area, you can have a try and search. Some woods are private, if you speak the language you can ask permission.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    We too! You don't want to know how many km's we have to drive each time ;-) Glad you like it.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting

    Hi Cobra, it's one of our nicest finds ever, we still have it on display.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    Thank you. One time we found a similar lighter ( like IMCO ), but not marked and made of brass, and once a ghb SOLIS pat lighter.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    Thanx Allan, and those were the days indeed. Good to hear you like the vids, and good hunt to you and your Minelab next year!

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    Glad you like it. We never sell or buy, we only collect the items we find ourselves.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    All the helmets we find end up on an shelf next to each other, the nice little relics we show in a display cabinet.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    Hi Mark, we always say; when you find it, treat live ammo with respect, do not touch it more then neccesary and bury it back. People only get into trouble when they take it home and go mess with it in their shed. Glad you like the vid, nice to hear.

  • @Wahrnehmung
    @Wahrnehmung Před 12 lety

    Nice findings guys, thanks for the dug up compilation. The gendarmerie shield and the krim ring are fantastic findings.

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety +1

    Thanks Psycho. This video, and some of our other vids are the result of a several day visit to a well known, or completely unknown battlefield. Each day we try to do some digging in the area of where the action took place. Forget about a permit, there is no such thing as a "licence to dig" for us hobbyists, just be careful.

    Nice question. So far we have found 4 small Roman coins, all made of bronze, and one late medieval coin made of silver. The Napoleonic era emblem we once found is not ancient, but also an incidental find.

    Hi Robin, thanks a lot! We try to read as much as possible ( books of specific regiments or divisions, soldiers personal journals, after action reports etc usw ) then we make a plan and visit the area with our MD's. Sometimes we get lucky, often not.

    Hi GTM, glad you like our vids. Canadian troops came overhere with guns to liberate us in ww2. When you come over to Europe, bring along a metaldetector and have a try in the woods, hope you are lucky. The big finds ( helmets ) end up on a shelve, the nice small relics in a display cabinet.

    Man finding a Stahlhelm with the LEATHER inside is just fucking gold. This worth at least 1500$, not even talking about the historical value.

    • @garytheclone9690
      @garytheclone9690 Před 7 lety

      KobaltEntity - definitely not worth $1500, or anything near that. I collect relic stahlhelms and one in that condition with the liner still intact would bring $300 at most.

    A lot of stuff is thrown away in trenches and foxholes during and after the war, that's why some things lay so deep.

    Loved this vid. My Dad fought in France WWII and spent 20 yrs. US Army. This really makes me feel a connection with him. Love that you guys answer so many posts, learned a lot! Surprised that no one asked for the title & artist of the great song you chose? A grimm reminder of all the lives lost over the foolishness of our leaders. Thanks so much, you are very fortunate. Best wishes from my Country to yours!!!

  • @WWIIMetalDetecting
    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety

    Hi Bukwoski, the relic at 4:00 is a so called "Feldgendarmerie ringkragen" ( search it on google). We use Fisher and XP detectors with 10,5 inch - and bigger searchcoils. How bigger the coil, the deeper it detects the metal object.

    In America there was a guy working on American Civil war stuff. He had a cannon ball found in a river. The American Civil war ended in 1865. As this guy tried to cut the cannon ball in half it exploded blowing him and his house into little tiny bits.
    The reason you don't find the bones of the soldiers is the ground is to wet. The bones have rotted away. It takes very special situations to make a fossil from a bone.

    Hello Dan, many people ask us the same question, and we keep it as it is now. You can go there with some friends to have a hunt yourself! Concentrate on an area where is fought, and read well about what is happened there. Put up your tent on a campsite and have a try in the woods.

    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety

    Hi Larry, we carry gps devices with us to mark the exact location in case we ever find a missing soldier. We can report this information to the authorities, just like we have done with some big live ammo shells. And when you treat ammo with respect, and do no irresponsible things with it, there is no problem at all.

    @WWIIMetalDetecting  Před 11 lety

    Thanx atter, we're not worried about that. We have found some landmines in the dunes on the coast, at the Atlantic wall, never in the woods. As with al ammo: treat it with respect, don't mess with it, take a picture for determination and bury it back.

  • @jhorne18

Thanks for sharing with us, and good luck in further exp,orations.
