[2023] WW1 relic hunting in the Somme's Battlefields

[@kevinkoster8066]

I went to verdun a couple years ago and been fascinated about ww1 ever since the place is unreal amd really shows you at least a little of how horrible it must have been for those men

[@HistoryOfWorldwar]

Einfach Wahnsinn was dort nach über 100 Jahren so an der Oberfläche liegt.

[@VintageJohnstown1]

What a great job shooting the video! You made me feel like I was there right helping you guys spot artifacts.

[@histoirekeo]

Thanks a lot for your comment. That's why I love making videos on my outings ;)

[@dennisthompson9892]

Great video we went in April to many sites including Arras and visited our great uncles grave we were the only relatives to visit in 107 years .We visited the Somme museum and on one plaque experts predicted it would take 700 years to clear the battlefields.

[@kevos65]

And what you are finding is just on the surface, what must lay in covered in shell holes is mind boggling..many an unfortunate I'm sure,we can't imagine the hell those places once were.. fascinating video and a very poignant find with the mess tin and his initials on it,was it dropped or does he lay beneath.. we'll never know

[@brianmurray1395]

That is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING !!

[@davidsawmandave8731]

Dude u guys are killing it , great finds , i would do anything to find stuff like that , from usa with love

[@leemartin5878]

Thank you for sharing this video very interesting

[@TheMartin625]

Bonjour.belle trouvaille.merci pour la vidéo... j'aurais aimé des explications... Amitiés d'Auvergne où je trouve rien

[@Tim60076]

Millions of ordnance, fragments not to mention human lives that dyed and suffered there …such a waste 😢😢😢

[@loydevan1311]

"Died"

[@Ord_Wingate]

And we don't seem to learn from it

[@vianneyrolin7576]

Incroyable de trouver encore tout ça ! Trouver sur quel secteur? Super vidéo je pourrais les regarder toutes la journée 😁

[@histoirekeo]

Merci beaucoup ! Il y en aura des autres 😇

[@ryustreetfighter8722]

These videos are awesome

[@histoirekeo]

Thanks, this kind of comment is very nice 🙂

[@ababab5579]

it's amazing how many things are still there! One question, is collecting WW1 items (obviously i'm not referring to the ammunition) legal in France? Are you subject to any regulations?

[@Ord_Wingate]

Does the battlefield class as war graves for those whos bodies are , well, still lost in the mud

[@georgegaylord]

Cool videos. What do you do with all the relics you find? I had relatives at the Somme on both sides.

[@Mayril]

Incroyable video. On se dit que si encore aujourd hui la terre regorge de tous ces objets, la scène de guerre a du être terrifiante...Quand je pense que deux de mes arrière grand pères y étaient !...😐

[@histoirekeo]

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour 🙏

[@mariafernandez6439]

Brokenness from a broken world

[@franzdubok2555]

Félicitations j'aimerais faire une balade dans les champs comme ça je suis de Lille

[@histoirekeo]

Merci beaucoup

[@kylee-ed8fh]

It’s actually my dream to go to a ww1 battle field and go digging.

[@histoirekeo]

We are not digging, only picking artefacts on the floor !

[@iTzMeGusta]

@@histoirekeoWho moved the ground? Some heavy machine was there

[@Classickoolcars]

@@iTzMeGusta. Farmers ploughed field.

[@jakepopalo]

В Карпатах теж є місця,дещо подібні...Правда частіше трапляються 8×50R,7.92×57 та 7.62×54R.

[@histoirekeo]

Happy to see an Ukrainian viewing my videos :)

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

Those "musket balls"... are those from some type of canister shot artillery round?

[@BigdaddyE71]

Most likely from an artillery shell.

[@brianmurray1395]

They are shrapnel balls packed into shells for airbursts.

[@nunyabuziness8421]

Crazy how they just plow right over live ammunition and bombs

[@boxwoodgreen]

I read once that on average two farmers, or workmen are killed annually by accidental contacts with old munitions.

[@Stealfos]

So satisfying

[@histoirekeo]

Thanks a lot !

[@lem_boi]

I don't know the situation in that place, but according to wwii next to personal belongings and small arms often lie skeletons. I hope that a wwi search is developed in France.

[@silasmerzenich]

Where is this

[@tent7014]

Do you use a Metal detector any time ?

[@rogerriggs6055]

Will the French authorities let you keep the things you find on the battlefield?

[@DroneLifeLelystad]

This is all so true😱 the things you can still find, even without a metal detector. I was at Beaucourt Hamel and you can just see it all

[@histoirekeo]

Yes, in fact as you can see, without metal detector, the finds are very abundant

[@alexvisser5913]

Imagine going detecting there

[@erwinhoes5090]

Even thow you might have tried to keep your video free from disturbing images i have seen some bone fragments flashing by just for the record...

[@Classpotc]

У нас на востоке просто так по полю не походишь(Белорусь)

[@tropifiori]

someone plowed that field when it was way too wet

[@histoirekeo]

yes, the farmer did it... That's why there are lots of finds on the surface

[@katenickels617]

why has nothing grown there?

[@JackSmith-kp2vs]

@katenickels617 It’s a ploughed field

[@MaxenceTryhoen]

Tu regarderas bien le macaron de boucle allemande c pas got mit uns mais autre chose (TREUL … …… ?)

[@brilsmurfmr]

human remains ⁉️
