Detecting Normandy, France: Jesus Rises

[@michmvp]

The bent clock gear, (for some reason, clock gears are called wheels) is called an Escape Wheel. A somewhat U shaped device with 2 points, called a Verge, is attached to the pendulum. As the pendulum moves back and forth, it rocks the Verge back and forth on the Escape Wheel. This assembly gives the clock it's tic - tock sound. From the size of that escape wheel, the clock would have been quite large.

[@walkingtrails7776]

That cross is splendid! We love your videos!! We watch with our kids and like learning about the things you find.

[@CorgiDoom1881]

That is one of the best thumbnails I have ever seen on a video in years!

[@fortnite_gamerd4657]

Tis is the last comment Ia will ever make on A youtube vid I am throwing the tablet in the bin

[@TimothyKennedy1]

Reece Wright naaaasssty..it's the modern world...yo WILL have to start to live with ppl having their head permanently in their tablet at some point (or are you just OOOOLLLDDD....as in over 90yrs old......even MY grandparents have embraced tablets)

[@amc3]

+Reece Wright ....Don`t throw your tablet in the bin Reece, it will and up in landfill. Then Dan will detect it in 20 years time.

[@58belvedere]

Nice find I like the cross!

[@Infected]

You're one of my favourite youtubers. I always look forward to all your videos. Hope you keep uploading for a long time :) Thanks!

[@TimothyKennedy1]

If you are ever in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Come and stay with us and we'll show you the old Gold Fields and all the other joys of tropical Far North Queensland, Australia (uno, the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest etc etc). There are a lot of old abandoned Gold Towns in the bush up here (the area we are talking about is probably larger than most European Countries) and all sorts of old WW2 paraphernalia from the War in the Pacific. Love ya work! Keep it up :D

[@noahwomack9929]

***** the bullet looks like a fifty cal. armor piercing round.

[@phantomairsoft8147]

+theiron golem I don't think they had ap. rounds back then

[@VillsvinJeger]

12:21 That's a printing press letter set! Cool! Wonder how it got there?? Could be an interesting story. Wonder how old?

[@ttjnaylor7501]

Another great vid. Thanks Dan, keep them coming.

[@SIG442]

1:40 50 Caliber gun, most likely from a American M2 Browning. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_Browning 3:12 Axehead, but not for cutting wood. This is from a battle axe i believe, which makes it medieval. Looking at the size, it is likely a one-hand weapon. 17:27 That ring is from a farm most likely. One of those rings you could tie the rope of your horse or cow to.

[@VisionAssoc]

Always look forward to the videos. Keep up the good work Dan.

[@jeffbrown307]

Entertaining as always. I always look forward to your hunts. And I agree, you won. Get in!

[@Rocco1401]

Found also several crosses but not so nice as this one you found, great find. Bless you Dan! :))

[@paramedio8671]

Another great video Dan, thanks! Any idea how old that cross is?

[@griffster_ttv8830]

I've been watching these videos last couple of nights some funniest stuff I've watched by the reactions plus some awesome discoveries

[@hellomcflyy]

I think that big iron thing near the end of the video is a step you screw into a telephone pole so you can climb it - it looks real familiar

[@RemovableElm]

I came for the finds, but stayed for the humor (and also the finds.)

[@RemovableElm]

cake and drinks? you mean vegetables and water, and being responsible and stuff...

[@freddieeatsgoldcoins]

Hi Dan, Nice finds...cool video,cheers,G:)

[@codarmy12345]

Great video again Dan are you doing anymore geocaching videos because you have inspired me to do it and I am thankful for that.

[@ylwpyro9549]

That "M" at 12:45 is definitely interesting. It could be a letter that they'd use for typesetting with an old-fashioned printing press, but I'm not sure.

[@andriskuzmenko9277]

love your videos

[@yadayada013]

LOL...Funny ending Dan....

[@HappyQuailsFarm]

Why don't you work the hard to access areas around the fields' borders such as in briar patches? Lots of things are lost during berry picking and easily given up on once discovered. Some great finds have been had in them especially where their adjoining fields have been pretty well scoured.

[@jamieleeeales8980]

what would I need to get to start metal detecting

[@tonyschenkhuizen1207]

Great video dan. You have inspired me to put as much money together as I can and buy a Garrett ACE 150 and I know you have used it before is it a good one? That is all I can buy but I'm happy thanks for being so happy and energetic. I plan to find lots of relics with it.again thanks so much for all the videos.i hope I bought a good metal detecter

[@hawes783able]

theres no good metal detecting places around me we are such a quiet bunch

[@livefreeordie45]

During WWII my father buried a bunch of silverware with the intentions of coming back for it. He didn't get back to it as he was shipped to the States After the Germans surrendered, destination Japan.

[@Baron-Bagaten]

Hi Dan, as a fellow detectorist, I'm keen to know how you are able to bring back found items 'from any country' into the UK ?. Many of your hunts have been very successful and I'm sure you didn't simply give them away or leave them behind. Just how do you get all your finds threw customs on the flight back here to the UK on returning please ??. I have had problems in the past, so would really like to know your tips and tricks please. Given also the heightened security, I'm sure your bag of metal items would set the scanners off big time, LOL.

[@tommybewick]

I don't metal detect, just a fan, but could you not just pack it up and mail it to yourself?

[@religionisasnare]

***** Digger Dan giving away his gold and silver?hmm just like you drink two pints of orange juice at the end of a dig LOL

[@aeontactical953]

Dan, the Thing Matt was brushing with a tooth brush is a Roman Dog Tag worn by Centurions.

[@typicalwhitetail]

Great video, Dan. I watch your videos more than I actually watch tv recently. Go on and get in.

[@typicalwhitetail]

Hi Dan , I am really glad you answered me. My girlfriend has become a fan of you, too. She likes to talk Digger Dan Style from time to time and finds coins and buttons whereever we go. You´re cool. My name is Andreas, I am from Germany and 38 years old. How can I support you with goods or maybe Paypal ??? Serious question.

[@scotthardy4328]

Hey Dan. I am going to Normandy in a month and I want to go metal detecting but I don't know the laws of metal detecting around Normandy.

[@mikeg2159]

Yes more vids Dan! Faster! One every 2 days plz ! Need more! Get in !

[@mikeg2159]

[@mariofrommer3511]

[@steo12321]

[@chernihivske]

9:30 pocket watch winder. Greets

[@monicasheldrake]

[@mw28841]

Lim going to Normandy and down south near Carnac next month to metal detect can't wait took ages to get permission :)

[@mw28841]

I hope so too Dan haha

[@cosmic4701]

Hey I've got a question I'm thinking about going to Normandy myself and doing some metal detecting , If I find something like a gun if it isn't in working condition (Which more than likely it won't.) Can I bring it home to the US?

[@cosmic4701]

Okay thanks I didn't think you could but I just wanted to make sure.

[@sad_boy_scientist]

The bullet at the beginning of the video is from a 50 caliber

[@marcduncan8774]

Love your vids I live in France bonjour

[@58belvedere]

Hi Dan tried looking you up on facebook no luck.

[@themetaldetectingcrew2510]

Great video dan

[@t1muh479]

picture frame at 4:10?

[@pigylick]

Dan i found exactly the same bullet 2 months ago!!

[@tmanoutdoors8277]

Oskars117 in that field?

[@noddygreenacre3018]

I wish i had some one to go with, i get bored on my own, i have found roman coins down here in cornwall.

[@noddygreenacre3018]

+Deep Digger Dan there are none around here

[@SKYLANDBAK]

It's not all bad...look on the bright side, at least there is no one else to get in first on all your possible finds....

[@MrDiscoBus]

The first Bullet is definetly Caliber 50 BMG from M2 heavy machine gun. Used by US Army since 1920.

[@MrDiscoBus]

***** Now i am happy because you answered :D Your Videos are great keep it on :D

[@miledjermanovic4237]

do you sell items you found

[@12tromps]

I found The same cross you found In Holland

[@sandm4eternity]

Wonder if the area looked the same in the 1500s

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

great video mate

[@marinabeaudoire7406]

the woman on the french coins is Marianne.

[@SergisNice]

Good hunt!

[@rikdeckx6555]

the first thing you got is a 50 caliber i think :-) +

[@Flippeh]

What happened to your store?

[@simonbergman5970]

That bullet was F ing huge!

[@MrDiscoBus]

Simon Bergman cal .50 BMG ( 12.7mm )

[@rickkie_4484]

1:45 is a .50 bmg bullet

[@HooplahTarten]

The ending was the best part,did he actually believe your bluff?

[@jeanniebokodi7957]

it is a dog tag that matt brushed

[@VillsvinJeger]

9:00 Should carry some water for washing off these items.

[@bogdankowalski7132]

You should read that over dan xD

[@MatthewPfeil]

first bullet is a 50 caliber round. WW2.

[@phantomairsoft8147]

That was a 30-06 bullet tip, not a 50 cal, I've shot them bothe, and taken them both apart. That is defiantly a 30-06 round. If it was a 50 cal, it would be a machine gun. 50 cal sniper rifles weren't invented until 2002. So there would be more than one because it would be automatic, while carbines that shot 30-06 rounds are semi automatic only so there would be 1-2 at the most (depending on how good of a shot the soldier was). For the machine gun, there would 4-10 at the least-max

[@TrigonixZeNW]

Not invented until 2002?! de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82, a very popular rifle, made in 1982

[@MatthewPfeil]

I dig them up around the old part of a military base here in the states in an area that was used for the practice of the invasion of Germany. I estimating off the size of Dans fingers with the bullet in his hand. And I do find them in singles and groups. Sorry if I got it wrong. There is no need to be an a$$ about it.

[@MrDiscoBus]

Phantom Airsoft You know nothing XD its definetly cal 50. (cal. 50 is from 1920 was first used in Browning M2 Heavy Mashine Guns) between you maybe notice that the bullet is as big as his thumb. If you have ever seen a 3006 round you would know its just 7,6x33mm. I bet you have never seen a real Rifle. Oh and German Tankgewehr 1918 had bigger Ammo in 1918 ( 13mm ). And a finish Sniper and Anti Tank Rifle from 1939 (Lathi L-39 ) has 20mm rounds. So better look up what you want to say before talking.

[@viperzz3561]

Phantom airsoft not being disrectful,but americans never used 30.06 rounds in The Second vold car

[@felixsmith659]

norman cross then ?

[@harvey2271]

do you sell the stuff you find?

[@harvey2271]

***** do you just keep it now

[@gardhs]

If you live in another country and go metal detecting in germany do you need some kind of permission to do so or is it just to go and do so

[@TheSGman66]

Its a 50 caliber, dan!

[@phantomairsoft8147]

I'm pretty sure it's a 30-06

[@Wedmarco1]

Gol diggar den! comoun get inn

[@rednextv511]

I would be taking every thing I found it could be very valuable

[@ACEinOZ]

If you won Dan....did you buy the orange juices? (14:27)

[@AussieLT1]

Ashes on in a few days Dan. Another Aussie 5-0?

[@ChloeKream]

Yay new video!!

[@sandm4eternity]

Do you get to keep ur finds from this dig?

[@everything543210]

Great video, Dan. Glad you didn't go all bible-thumping preachy when you found that cross, unlike some young American relic hunter. Praise Jebas!

[@TrigonixZeNW]

The first one should be a normal 7.62 mm round or a German 7.92

[@MrDiscoBus]

Trigonix ZeNW its as big as his thumb its definetly cal .50 BMG

[@TrigonixZeNW]

fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2015/003/f/a/50_cal_shell_by_deadlul3-d8cfsd7.jpg

[@MrDiscoBus]

Trigonix ZeNW yes there you see Bullet is as big as a man's thumb like the one he found first

[@MrDiscoBus]

i saw the Video saw how big the bullet was in your hand. Then i looked into my own Bullet collection grab a cal 50. Bullet and voila the whole cartridge is as long as my Hand but the Bullet is nearly as big as average thumb ;D

[@doblar15]

the first bullet was a 50. bmg

[@phantomairsoft8147]

It was a 30-06

[@doblar15]

what weapon fired that ? from that era obviously

[@slopcrusher3482]

The 50 bmg is the Canadian version of the 50 cal round from the M2 browning

[@HobbyCache]

Just call it a tie Dan if you did not get away with the win(:

[@ms.michealh893]

So Dan even you have a cross with Jesus on it, it's called a crucifix and when Jesus isn't on it, it's just a cross... just thought I would point it out. Anyways I enjoyed this video! :-D

[@detectoremperador7930]

Saludos amigo buen video y aqui pasando a subcribirme al canal saludos y bendiciones

[@phineasmurph9539]

You should metal detect on omaha beach.

[@TimothyKennedy1]

Jung Choi I think it is actually Illegal to metal detect on ANY of the D-Day beaches. The entire area is designated as War Grave, therefore relic hunting and metal detecting etc etc is illegal (and seriously disrespectful anyway). Its a shame coz it WOULD throw up some interesting stuff.....but as I said.....war grave....let those Brave Men Rest In Peace.

[@phineasmurph9539]

Timothy Kennedy If that's illegal it would probably be best to metal detect where the parachute landings happened, or some were near the beach.

[@slopcrusher3482]

It's illegal to do that, it's a history ground and a museum there

[@mackenziegreenhalgh5526]

U know when matt found that thing when he was brushing it with a tooth brush it might be a dog tag from ww1

[@80Dantheman]

comon get in lovin yer videos

[@axlbosmans493]

[@willyc7873]

Dan.... in your opinion....if you find Jesus in a hole like that is it proper to refer to him as holy Jesus... you know.... cause he was in a hole? :)

[@willyc7873]

***** At least you found Jesus ☺

[@davidhopper1087]

Canny hunt. Looks like you had a canny time.
