AMAZING Guns, Knife & Treasure Found Metal Detecting (150)

[@smokiaces914]

20:32 here is what wiki says about it ^^ The Preetz Model 65 is a blowback action, semi-automatic .22LR caliber survival rifle made in several models by Josef G. Landmann of Holstein or Preetz, West Germany, also listed as J.G.L. or JGL 65, 68 and 69 in some references.[1] It was intended as a rival to the Armalite AR-7. A .22 Magnum version identified by a tubular extension to the receiver was also made. An article on Guns.com has suggested that the Model 65 is actually a clone of the AR-7.[2] This claim is supported by allegations on some firearms forums that with a little work, many of the internal parts are interchangeable between the two.

[@davvvvo]

for those who think the weapon at 18:51 is a ww2 weapon, then you are wrong its is a Josef Landmann 22LR survival rifle (image i.imgur.com/6ZLTU5W.jpg )

[@jjpragasa]

Yep. And since it's old, it's broken. Good job!

[@jjpragasa]

Plus, the print looks similar

[@Nahoermal383]

Its a Thompsen 62 Sub Machine Gun with a 25 Rounds Magazine, Produced and used in Germany.

[@shananagans5]

Metal detecting is so much better in Europe than it is in the US. I live in New Mexico & there is some old west stuff, especially on the trails west. There are also some Civil War sites but that's about it for historical stuff. Europe has a much longer & richer history when it comes to stuff to be found with a metal detector.

[@iamadness69]

The second gun is a JGL automat 65, a .22lr semi-auto survival rifle made from 1965 to 1975 and designed by Josef G. Landmann (JGL) in Preetz, West Germany. This one has a 10 round magazine and the buttstock is missing. The receiver is made of Zamak, a zinc/aluminium/magnesium/copper alloy and thats why it didnt rust. Here's a picture www.waffenwesen.com/html/L-Bilder/bild-l-11-1.jpg

[@mrfairport]

its a Josef Landmann .22 caliber rifle, they made them too like like a submachine gun but they're semiautomatic .22 caliber rifles.

[@mackarmstrong1543]

The gun is a Josef Landmann JLG 65/68 22 cal. semi-automatic rifle but without the wooden stock at the back or the extra grip at the front

[@101stsurvivor]

Finally someone with a sensible answer.

[@mackarmstrong1543]

yeah finally

[@Gezza5]

Mack Armstrong I beg to differ, looks like the earlier JLF to me. The flash hider is completely different.

[@lsd-25ayahuascadmt7]

Thanks for the comment mack. I was wondering what it was myself.

[@jjd99d]

Paul Gadoury It's 22lr and as far as how much it's worth hard to say. There's one up for action online at 1,200 with no bids here in the states.

[@ICanCount2Potatos1]

i now know what your smg is its a jgl automat it was built around the action of an ar7 and was suposed to look like a thompson its a civilian firearm but they became illigal to own for a short time which is why you migh find some dumped in the woods

[@princecalliano5132]

Hey Dan, the second Gun is a; Josef G. Landmann - Preetz Mod. JGL Automat 65/68/69 Manufactured West Germany Magazinboden gestempelt J.G.L. Automat 65

[@Sideshowbobx]

7:20 you for sure dig up plenty of hunting remains thru you digs Dan, sweet Landmann .22 plinker of the mid 60's. I would love to refinish one like that, they used to be fun. Since you are in the Frankfurt area you might have found an old gun stash of the RAF - so the marxist torrist group from back then. Actually they stashed their stuff better, but you never know ;)

[@TrifectaMonkey]

The gun at 20:00 is a JOSEF LANDMANN 22CAL.SEMI-AUTOMATIC

[@sizcorsaxx]

Thank you so much you are so inspiring so I went out to dig and found GOLD!!! Thank you

[@clutch1141]

I think it's a roman gun.

[@coolmw2player]

You sir are stupid.

[@noemiplata9563]

eduardo rodriguez Don't be mean just explain and John, the roman empire did not see any firearms

[@coolmw2player]

Yea, sorry 'bout that!

[@JOHN-uv3xs]

seems legit

[@coolmw2player]

I realized....I wasted my life ._.

[@SeeMooreVids]

DiggerDan,...you make my day with your vids. Keep up the fun and discovery.

[@JohnT2001]

A bang bang bang bang and a stabby stabby stab stab?! What drugs are you on?!😂😂😂 You're funny

[@naihongsar5368]

I think he's on killing drugs just to say

[@MeleeTiger]

Though it was missing the wooden stock, it was certainly the JGL Automat 65 or Preetz Model 65. It produced from 1965 to 1975 and was a survivalists rifle in 22 caliber, automatic. What it looked like: www.panzer.cz/cs/malorazky/380-malorazka-jgl-automat-65-22-lr.html And the wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preetz_Model_65

[@cwf081166]

How come everyone can guess the make of the second gun found, But no one hasn't typed in "Josef & Landmann, Automat 22" into their internet search engine? There is at least a hundred pictures of this gun. Even Digger Dan's video is one of the top finds. The name for that second gun is the "Josef & Landmann, Automat 22"

[@kevins1114]

That rifle barrel also had part of the receiver still on it. It was part of a German Mauser K-98. The giveaway was the fore-end cap / bayonet lug piece and front sight base.

[@evilcowboy]

The ring is very interesting. The R your right is probably meant to stand for Romanus as they did use single letter abbreviations. But by that logic alone that leaves us with the M which is probably meant for the same reason as a name of something or someone. If it was meant to name something the M could have stood for manius which was a popular name back then. However it would have been written M' with the apostrophe at the end of it. Because it contains no apostrophe then it is very possible to have stood for Marcus which would have meant the ruler at the time the ring was made. Which makes sense a person would be proud of the fact they were from Rome and honored the ruler at the time with his name marking on the ring. Marcus Aurelius ruled from 161 to 180. now the hieroglyphs below it is a mystery and I wish someone would translate what they meant.

[@RJStockton]

Or, "M" could be how Romans wrote "1,000."

[@evilcowboy]

Richard Stockton Well yeah but the only reason they would have used it would be a date code. The M would be 1000 which would have made the coin date by the way they did their dating 1000 A.D. which makes no since because the Roman empire fell in 476 A.D. So I figured it probably stood for Rome and the ruler at the time.

[@RJStockton]

Also, the Romans didn't number years from the birth of Jesus. So there's that.

[@stephenmason771]

evilcowboy

[@stalker20008]

evilcowboy Sorry Digger Dan, but this isn`t a Roman Ring! The Я is used in East Slawic and Bulgarien languages, also the signs beneath aren`t latin.

[@jamesblanton9364]

Go on, Get in. Bloody bonza stuff bloke ! Love what ya do, & the way you do it, very interesting, whilst entertaining also. Ripper work mate. Keep on GOING ON & GETTING IN....

[@brandonorr3810]

The second gun is a German Luger and the user changed the fire rate to make an SMG and put a barrel attachment to enhance the weapon's accuracy.

[@captaincuh4984]

.

[@brandonorr3810]

Exactly correct but the weapon is missing the handle.

[@captaincuh4984]

.

[@joncxl7]

Its not a luger, it is a JGL automat 65, a .22 mm survival rifle

[@shovelwrench]

Google Luger, and you'll see that is not one.... Its a modern .22 rifle

[@jeffwilkes4508]

Hello dan . You really had one fine day of md , buy far one of your best , the rings were a great find , and the buttons are a very nice find but the mid evil coins are a special find ! Well done

[@GhosT8747]

Bangbangbangbang dude youre crazy. :D

[@samwalker9384]

No not crazy , eccentric!!! (That means crazy)

[@zacharysahnger7823]

Sam Walker Eccentric is like crazy with style

[@evilcowboy]

that second gun the bluing on it was impeccable and speaks volumes for the finish applied. The barrel is not so good but could be replaced but honestly it might clean up with minor pitting. That gun can be restored to its original form just by cleaning it up and replacing springs, the hardest part would be getting the mag out and the bolt out of the receiver. Very cool find.

[@JamesNifong]

great scott! You're one lucky guy living in Europe. I live in America so we don't get that kind of stuff, especially not roman rings. noooo sir. lucky you are!

[@MaxPayneFAN2010]

You might get Indian, Aztec, or Incan relics in your country.

[@JamesNifong]

MaxPayneFAN2010 Well i haven't found much. I won't stop though! :D

[@bigmoose7]

MaxPayneFAN2010 they dont really use metals

[@TheQuantumPotato]

The second gun you found is an Automat manufactured by Josef G Landmann. Preetz refers to the city in which Josef G Landmann was based. It's a semi automatic .22 caliber gun sold on the civilian market. They are very rare although I'd imagine a non-working relic wouldn't sell very well. The furniture was made of wood and on this example it has obviously rotted off, leaving the gun with no stock, grip or handguard, which had a forward pistol grip integrated into it. Very interesting and rare find, I'm surprised that someone managed to lose one in the woods somehow!

[@chaosmauser661]

16:07 the gun could be a Mauser karbinier k98 from ww2

[@justhereoutofboredom]

18:20 that's a medieval table knife, seen plenty like it and they are all a little different being they are made by hand but the style fits. 21:00 that is as you mentioned a jgl 65/68 they are a semi automatic (civilian legal in many European countries at various points in time) I believe the receiver was constructed of aluminum. All in all it is just a cheap plinking gun.

[@ThaRealTimo]

First one is the barrel of a mosin nagant. Last one is a mp5k. Like so he sees this.

[@TheoHiggins]

its not a fucking mp5

[@Xxpredator98]

its a Preetz Model 65, look it up on google images, it has the same receiver design as in the video, the gun was made to have many different styles of handgrips and stocks and his only has the post for one

[@AnthonyMalesys]

You're a bit scary dude

[@petert9110]

C'mon,get in! Stabby,stab,stab! Bangy,bang,bang. I just love the terminology!

[@thiccman2229]

The gun is a barrel of a lee enfield

[@esther_wright]

EndOfGaming KAR 98

[@naihongsar5368]

MUSKET WOULD BE TOO LONG AND LEE ENFIELD OR KAR 98 STOCKS ARE TOO LONG BTW ITS A TEC 9

[@silexa3222]

[@garyanderson1]

EndOfGaming no its russian

[@thiccman2229]

silexa LOL calm down

[@danarivera7503]

I love when he says ''BAN BANG BBANG BANG BANG'' and ''STABBY STAB STAB STAB STAB'' its just funny to me for some reason!

[@Jeremy031152]

Good heavens where do all these gun experts come from who know absolutely nothing? its a bird its an MP40 its and MG42 its a K98, its a M60 its a MP3 Grease gun. Holy smoke. Its a .22 calibre Josef Landmann 22 for heaven's sake.

[@CragScrambler]

He found 2 in the video, chill out lol

[@GlareAtEm]

Jeremy Swanson Thank god, someone with a BRAIN has come to this discussion! Cheers, mate :)

[@jackmanning483]

I reckon the guns an Ak-48.fu

[@TheSatisfactoryMeatstick]

XD who said it was an m60!??!?!?

[@naihongsar5368]

It has to be a LMG (light machine gun) stock since the stocks on light machine guns are long

[@urduib]

So glad i found this channel. Its awesome.

[@SparkyisHot]

It is a JGL Automat 65 .22

[@MolestiaMLP]

15:55 Hi Dan:) This gun seems me german Mauser k98 :)

[@jpurdyjr29]

Hey Dan! After watching a few of your videos I gotta say you find some of the coolest things!!! I love watching your videos and have already subscribed! Keep up the good work! Greetings from sunny California! :P

[@kaizersoze]

The ring in 13:00 looks like a circle that was eroded. 15:50, looks like a BAR rifle.

[@ihatealbanians1]

good to see men and women like yourself that are keeping the history of this world alive keep on keeping on haha

[@TheKsalad]

No way, the grease gun is shaped totally different.

[@BeefaloBart]

First gun looked like a WW2 K98 Mauser, with back half of the receiver missing. Second gun is a type of survival pistol meant to be taken apart and stored in a small space for backpacking. In the US there was a similiar one called the AR-7 avail in both pistol and carbine.

[@offshoremann]

The small gun is a "Preetz Model 65" .22lr kaliber! End of discussion!!!!

[@PataPannu]

15:49 I'd say that's a Mauser hunting rifle from early 1900's. The bolt shape kinda gives it out.

[@RelicDirtyhands]

enjoyed the video... Thank you!

[@floydfan7511]

I've been thinking of buying a detector for ages, now i've watched your vids i'm gonna buy me one. Cheers for the great finds Dan & i'll maybe share my finds with you if I find anything good :)

[@werewolf2747]

That gun you found actually looks good enough to be used if cleaned up and given a new handle! (I can't see how badly it's rusted, if at all.)

[@MrLugnutt08]

I just started being interested in detecting just because of your videos. I don't have one but I think in the near future I will and I really enjoy the videos and the happiness it seems to bring you. And I love seeing it all but I really love ww11 things.

[@totalyruben]

this is the automat .22 cal long pistol it is from 1965 onwards and is made a from a low melting alloy and was made to look similar to an M1A1 Thompson

[@stikitt666]

that is a collapsible .22 survival rifle ,the lug on the receiver is used to make it more compact its an older version akin to the feather light it was more than likely made for pilot use with the simple parts and the protective blueing I wouldn't be surprised if you could make it operational again

[@sweatshirt029]

i love these videos and i love seeing the things you can find. awesome stuff, as long as you enjoy it dont stop :)

[@robby7535]

How does he get this stuff back home with him? Does he mail it to himself or what?

[@skd]

You also found a tribal knive. That's quite a rare find, you should hold on to it and keep it safe, it might be worth a lot of money.

[@naihongsar5368]

It might be a combat knife

[@mikestafford5124]

the second gun is a josef landmann

[@mattbritt99]

Dan, me and my family love you, you are a swell and super cool dude.... my 2 year old daughter just learned to say "Come On Get In!" i love your videos

[@HereticJon]

20:33 Mp40, grease gun, mp44, Ok it WAS a JGL Automat 65, But its modified to not be that and its eroded.

[@RavenFlight413]

About the Gun: it is .22LR Semi Automatic survival rifle. it isnt very common. i had a hard time getting information but it is a failed and rare gun. it didn't do well in the eyes of the world. it wasn't a bad gun but it was meek and went unnoticed in the grande scheme of things. Made to rival the AR-7. Sad i cant put links up but still. i bet you can find it :)

[@surpking420]

lol looks like the ruger 10/22 or the marlin .22lr survival rifle

[@skd]

You found the german kar98. It was the main service riffle for german troups in world war two, so it's not that old. It is quite a common find if you ask me :) A zillion of them were captured by the russians and then sold across the world. Still used today in poor countries :)

[@Garage_859]

My favorite intro of them all this one!

[@TheGoddessLillith]

I absolutely love watching your videos! You're very interesting and entertaining, as well as pationate about what you do. Thank you very much for making your videos! I have a Garrett Ace 250, and I LOVE metal detecting! Still learning to use it properly. :-) wow! That ring you found is fantastic!

[@chestertimmins4820]

You really have a talent for this. i appreciate your videos. it makes me exited to go metal detecting.

[@Ready17]

The .22 you found looks very much like a survival .22 where the gun can be disassembled and stored in the stock. The barrel lug was pretty visible and the magazine looks to be the right type. That weapon is not a fully automatic rifle though. It is semi automatic.

[@vincelok894]

Wow, he found a couple of "bang bang bang bang bnags", a "stabby stabby stab stab" and a couple of bookuls. This is a fun hobby, I gotta get me a detector.

[@HistoryRevived]

An interesting spot to hunt for relics, looks familiar, maybe we will bump into each other some day ;) Anyway, congrats on the good finds!

[@w3stpwner]

The second gun is an ar-7 survival rifle

[@maximiliankanaki7813]

Dan,If it is indeed a roman ring, and if you still haven't sold it to a museum then do it trust me ull feel good knowing that u made a tiny contribution that people look at and ponder at

[@zacharyzikeli9486]

The second gun is actually named for once

[@ERK77VI]

second gun is simply JGL Automat 65, like text on gun said, there are lot of pictures of it in google.

[@MrThedonutdude]

The thing at 16:33 is a gunpowder container. Or at least part of it. You would sling it over your shoulder in ear

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Deep Digger Dan, I love your videos and so does my cat Mimi. She sits here and watches your videos with me! She stares really hard when you are doing a live dig. Keep up the good work of retrieving history and don't listen to the rude people. History reminds us where we have been and how far we have come. Without the past we are doomed to repeat our mistakes. I found a swatika coin here in USA! WOW!! I think it is a like a penny, I'm not sure! Come On! Get In!!! :-D

[@steveneinstein]

"Get In!" haha I love this guy

[@choppergirl]

Where ever you find stuff, you should record their exact GPS location with them where you found them, that's what I'd recommend. Just on an index card, and the time and date you found them and your name. Be careful with explosives that have set for a long time, the nitroglycerin can settle out of the gun powder, and its movement sensitive. Mostly it will be inert from water seeping in, but you never know. Love your videos, keep them up, reconnecting with history is worth more than gold!

[@texnartist]

Dan at 9:24 I'm faily confident that it is a signat ring used to mark a document as official communication between a prominent family or government. When it was pressed into the wax it would leave a relief. It is how official documents and communications where sealed.

[@stoneymcrock7649]

Rusty or not, it's still a good habit to watch where the muzzle is pointing. Even old ammo can be viable, and dangerous. Good Luck diggin'.

[@joshuahinchliffe4579]

Perhaps the first ring was a signet ring? You know for sealing documents with wax? I think this would be possible because since the R was backwards then surely it would be forwards when used to seal documents. Just a suggestion

[@EPIKZOMBIESLAYAH]

That second gun is very rare it's a Josef landman 22 lr semi auto rifle and one in very good condition could fetch a hefty price of $1,600

[@mattdaines2507]

I wish I was you mate i have watched all your videos and loved them all you've found so much more than me

[@pinkfluffycats28]

wow this is amazing, lots of cool finds!

[@jyoo25]

This guy is hilarious and i dont even think he's trying. and these vids are fascinating. keep it up

[@wibbleypigwhite5915]

The barrel not the actual gun and I think the intact one is a 22 sport rifle

[@mm-fm6xw]

Dan we are watching you here in Singapore...wish I was in Europe to do what you do! Keep up the great work...

[@069Luigi690]

Loving the finds dude! I'd love to join you with the detecting!

[@GunGlutton]

@deepdiggerdan what country are you digging in?

[@Cerridwen7777]

You are the Steve Irwin of metal detecting! That's all I can think of when I watch your videos! (New viewer here, ta!)

[@bobfarts8785]

No the jgl is a gun. If you read the guns stamps it says made in west Germany they didn't make m3's in west Germany. It's a police automatic 22 rim fire

[@Beanmanwarby]

The second gun is an MP40 WWII automatic in great condition!

[@davvvvo]

the smg is a josef landmann 22.

[@Beanmanwarby]

lol idc XD

[@davvvvo]

dont you mean idk

[@Beanmanwarby]

no (I) (D)ont (C)are

[@davvvvo]

okay.

[@TheOgo1971]

That's exacly what I thought a ring stamp did you see the letters were backwards.But when you stamp it the letters are straight when they stamp into the wax....

[@gnoc78]

and you can use the weapon as a simple pistol or, adding some parts, as a sniper carabine. It was fitted with a riflescope too.

[@skink356209]

IK, it is a JGL automatic i have been told, someone else said that cause i rcommented too soon

[@jakllenW402]

U r very excited whenever u find something! :D

[@hughs1866]

16:08, all these bits and pieces look like old farming equipment and tools, like hoes, seeders and other hand held tools. the two cylinder type things look like a blacksmiths punches for making things with leather or metal, just ideas tho i don't no for sure.

[@6105nonnie]

brilliant, i love all your videos :)

[@mlgdobby8992]

Those lumps of meatal are from the iorn age and that is the debris from the mould it was put in to make swords and weapons

[@mauserk98bnz44]

The first firearm looks to be a k98 Mauser. It appears to still have the front barrel band and rear sites plus the trigger. Awesome find!

[@zelalhammad975]

Dan your awesome and I know how it feels to get horrible messages from KZbin you are the most awesome I love all your vids :) :)

[@cowstable]

The knife looks something between a Parang (from its the overall shape) and a Khyber knife (from the stiffening of the back edge). Nasty.
