As you may already know, it's always best to hit the shell with a hammer at the base so as to see if it is "live" or not, if it emitts a dull sound, then you're ok.

That was the war that changed history around the entire world. The fact that remnants are still being found over 100 after the battles is frightening and sad. So many young men fighting a deadly battle with so many people lost. My grandfather (who was born in Germany but moved to the U.S. as a teen) fought against members of his own family in that war. He rarely spoke about it, but he once told me that war never solves anything. He passed away in the 1980's at the age of 92, and he was honoured by the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy, as he joined both forms of the military in that war. He fought in the Army on the border of France and Germany, then he was shipped home and he enlisted in the Navy to help sink submarines.

I was unsure, so I checked with French and Belgian authorities this morning, what you have done is illegal. Farmers who turn up munitions as part of their normal activities are allowed to move shells. However, it's illegal in both countries to do what the video maker has done. Numerous prosecutions have taken place. Not only is it illegal, it's highly disrespectful to pick anything up from these battlefields.

Gas masks and buttons are most likely found on on the torso so at minimum there is a torso near by.

Even going unto WW1 archeological sites at night taking away things and disturbing bodies the archeologist were working on. I think this video shows someone walking trough a field during "the iron harvest" where the agricultural plows turn the earth, bringing to the surface a lot of finds and ordinance. During that period there are a few tons of shells dug up as well left on collection spots by the road for the french démineurs to comme and collect. Certain Battlefield are still blocked off due to the toxic levels of elements in the ground and the french government has a backlog of a few hundred years worth of defusing of chemical shells to go through. It is said that it would take at least 900 years for the area affected to be demined and safe.

I asked w/o meaning that I’m waiting somewhere with a metal detector on my shoulder. And the guy said literally about “finding and taking away relics”, not exactly “metal detecting”: semantically it means, that you can find anything while just walking by. Also, my point, that potentially you can find any object, which was owned by a soldier, who disappeared in a trench mud, to discover the history and to bring some peace to one family somewhere on the other end of the planet. I know what I’m talking about. This is the point, until the connection between times and generations haven’t disappeared completely. Until all those information haven’t erased by time.

Is it me, or is that the remnants of a jaw bone behind the grenades that he's just put down @ 6:50? Centre of frame behind the second grenade. Most people probably looking at the grenade and not what's behind it.

"They shall not grow old". Oh lucky them! Is that what we are supposed to think? I've always thought that line is the most twisted consolation. Probably dreamt up, like the fine memorials, by the Church and the ruling class to try to dampen down the growing discontent amongst ordinary people in the immediate post-war period when revolution was in the air. The war revealed to ordinary people that their 'betters' were in fact nothing of the sort and capable of organising nothing more than "legalised mass murder", as Harry Patch put it.

So maybe you.know this or maybe you dont but unless its your job and you know whats what, you should probably leave the 100 year old explosive artillery shell alone. You see the boom boom in those things is probably one of the early nitrated compounds or maybe an oxidizer and fuel combo. Regardless, given its century of exposure to water, chemicals in the soil, and the annual freeze thaw cycle, the chances that the high explosive inside has become fairly unstable, probably a little less potent than it was bit still capable of reducing you to a fine mist. People get killed by these things all the time and with france employing maybe 6 people for cleanup of just tue WW1 explosives they estimate that they're enough shells, grenades etc... out there that itll take about 200 years to find them all. Add in all the stuff from WW2 and thats a lot of kaboom just jaying around. Maybe wanna rethink the hobby or at least make sure your friends and family have quija boards so you can talk to them if something goes wrong

don't worry, the shells and ammunition that I filmed in the videos are already on the surface of the ground, and I simply handle them carefully to film them, and after that I leave them there. I realize these are munitions designed to kill, but the tractors have already brought them to the surface before I find them.

@@histoirekeo I know that members of my family died on the Somme and elsewhere, I know that I have seen my share of active service and have more in common with the men killed on these battlefields than you ever will have, and I also know that something like one in every four shells produced in the UK up till late 1916 were faulty and never exploded but are still live, which is why so many are killed by unexploded ordinance on these battlefields every year and that bomb disposal teams are still dealing with all the unexploded ordinance over a hundred years later but there is so much off it, estimates are that at the current rate, there will still be unexploded ordinance there well into the next century and I also know that I have visited most of these battlefields with the Royal British Legion and other battlefield tour groups, and we all had more respect for the men that died on these battlefields than to touch or take anything from them.
