Did I find a WW2 watch ?

[@MatthewPfeil]

That watch will keep working if you replace the battery. Seiko makes a very durable watch. Not a cheap watch either. Nice find! I would wear it as an every day watch.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes , they work. Have tride With New batteries and work great. Thanks Matthew

[@chevywheels56]

Outstanding video Mr. HistoryHunter. I had to go back and listen to it a couple of times because my ears have gotten older and I didn't realize that my wife had been in my office on the computer and she had turned the volume down. No wonder I was having trouble hearing you. A watch like a Seiko is a great find because those folks make very good and expensive watches. You keep a digging and keep the videos a coming and we will keep watching your WW II History lesson. All the best, Chevy

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

it is a true pain in the butt to get old :) Thanks Chevy for great sharing and stay safe.

[@jynxgoxoom]

it is not every day a person can say they found some extra time while history hunting. even with few finds your videos are great. cheers

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great comment , extra time. Cool just ubercool comment. Thanks Byron

[@Just-me-Laura]

Beautiful forest holding many secrets & treasures. One always in need of that alone time. Unique finds. 😊 Thanks,HH. ❤

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@raywilliams5044]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Warms my hart to read that. Thanks Ray.

[@stephaniepettys4222]

Nice walk. Loved the smart fox digging an addition to the old foxhole.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks 👍

[@Nordvind78]

Awesome videos as always..A big cup of coffe in the morning and watch some videos when you exploring is a nice start of the day..Thanks for the great videos you make :)

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@donniemontoya9300]

Sir you have earned a new subscriber. I've been binge watching your videos for a few hours now and I must see more. I want to support you and thank for for sharing everything.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

wow , how great is that. Thanks for watching. Donnie.

[@clockguy2]

1980s Seiko divers watch. I have a similar one.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes it was and it looks great. Thanks for watching

[@TheVic256]

No, a true skx is a mechanical automatic, not quartz although it looks a lot like a skx007 :)

[@anthonyroberts7718]

There is something about being in the woods or forest which so relaxing. Am impressed with how you can notice all the features while in an area were the Germans were at. Nice find on the watch . Might be something nice for Eagle Eyes when he gets older.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

The watch still works and i gave it to him actually. Thanks and greetings my friend.

[@Quinzterful]

Always a pleasure when your videos pop up. Sorta makes my day.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

So glad to read that Frank and thanks

[@scopex2749]

Some good finds here especially the time travellers watch! He came back to that spot in 1939 from 2062 to see what was happening but sadly got shot and his watch stayed in the past until YOU found it HH!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

He he , there you go and thanks my friend.

[@joshmay8296]

I metal detected my garden/yard the other day and found nothing except from a milk carton lid and an old metal mustard pot from about 1950s to 60s. Love the vids keep up the good work Josh

[@joshmay8296]

And when you say ww2 foxhole what is it?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

the soldiers dug small dugouts to hide in when they fought.

[@mosinmike108]

Love your videos! Having lived in Germany and my Mother from Dresden originally I'm a history junkie for that era of WW2.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

How great to read. Thanks Mosin

[@awesomemcnuggietittsschalk4313]

You have been my FAVORITE videos to watch for the last 2 years when I first discovered you Son and Daughter!!!! Amazing footage I absolutely

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you for watching.

[@4june9140]

Love your attention to Nature as well as the task in hand. You must have some lovely stills of these expeditions. Keep up the good work

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes i have. thanks for taking interest and for watching

[@rodrigotoledo485]

cool finds! thanks for sharing! The bullet tip is from a 8x50 lebel and in an impresing condition, germany's ground keeps history in a great condition!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for info and Greetings from me

[@themanfromcabowabo1559]

6:33 Trees always grow toward the most available light. Usually if they have to grow around something they’ll scar where they touch. Hard for me to see but it looks like something fell and bent it over when it was small and flexible. As soon as it grew free it turned 90° up again. Looks like healed damage at that 90 as well. With a little knowledge (From the right person) I’ve learned to read the forest a bit. My friend can point out features that tell it’s story back 100 years in some places.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

How cool and thanks for sharing that. Greetings from us.

[@zipshed]

Very nice watches! I would use either one on a daily basis. Looks like your day worked out for the good even if you didnt find any relics!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i agree. a Lucky day i think. Thanks for watching.

[@buddylight2191]

I don't think that watch is from WWII?

[@jackduffy1817]

BUDDY LIGHT, Qwartz watches, Clocks, 1980s. When they first came out, They cost a $1,000. Two years later they cost $20.

[@mcgaugh57]

I remember I bought a watch just like that in 1978 when I started Scuba Diving. Lost it somewhere.

[@darrenfarrell]

Hahahahahahahha liAr piece of shit that's not 70s watch that's modern

[@darrenfarrell]

That watch is skx 007 seiko

[@TASCOM44]

To be fair- Seiko divers have looked pretty similar over the years. The 007/9 was introduced in the late 90s but the 7002 was before that, and it kept on going.

[@TASCOM44]

Also the 007 isn't quartz, neither was the 7002. This watch is likely from the late 70s/early 80s

[@mcgaugh57]

thatgiant Mine was an automatic.

[@beverleymacdonald1352]

Seiko watch was a great find and an excellent clean up, not WW2 time frame but still interesting. Loved the fox making a hole in the foxhole!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yeah , fox in a d foxhole :) thanks my friend.

[@lolobotius]

This watch looks very modern maybe from the mid 80

[@martyfearo2953]

Great video & well done with the watch. Even if it is modern it's a great find. All the best!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i agree. Finding items like that is kind of cool to. Thanks Martyn

[@HaGirl10]

Looks like a divers watch. Just think of the action the German soldiers experienced at that site. Cool finds HH. EE would be really little when you did this explore. Thank you for taking us there. 🙂🙃💞💞

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes EE was a small little boy during those days :) Thanks Girl :)

[@gaspipe22]

Nice video as always....i nice forest walk......it doesnt always matter that u dont find a great deal. Its just listening to you and absorbing your enthusiasm.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i try to do my best. Thanks for great comment Ian.

[@joeschneider732]

Nice job on the watch! This is a old episode figured I would check it out!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching!

[@garrymaskell8347]

Enjoy your finds and studies. I wonder if the watch would work with new batteries.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

It did , both did. Have tried them and they work great. Thanks for watching Garry

[@peril787b]

If you look at the back plate of the watch, it will have a series of numbers which will allow you determine the age. The serial number is usually 6 digits, the first number being the year of manufacture. There is also the movement and case type (4 digits - 4 digits). I have a 7548-7000 with a serial number of 8D, and battery change date of 81, which says my watch is a 7548 type, with a 7000 movement, manufactured in December 78, based on 3 year battery change. If you would like to know what age your watch is, I'd be happy to help.

[@billspagnuola2606]

Thanks for sharing. The Time with us. Looked like you had a Good Time too. Lol

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Was a great time outside for sure Bill. Happy New Year from us.

[@opasworkshop8373]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Opa , will do my best.

[@michaelandersen4504]

I really enjoy all your videos, wish I had some nice woods to go exploring like that. What ever happened to the second "ghost" video?

[@pajs1000]

I had that type of Seiko watch in the 1980's. Luminous and waterproof. Great find along with the ww2 relics. Happy hunting!

[@ravenj4048]

I love your videos it's history and that's what I like.your video are so intense in viewing German history it interesting.keep it up.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

wow , great to read Ariel and Greetings from me

[@PorkChopExpressBK]

Very nice hunt! Seiko is a very popular brand here in the U.S. They have been around for quite some time and are known for making a good watch. I would say they are at the same level as Timex. GL & HH to you!

[@getin3949]

I asked for a Seiko watch for a gift years ago. It wasn't an expensive one, only $250.00. I had always thought Seiko was an excellent brand but my watch died after about 14 months and the warranty had expired so I was left with a watch that would cost more to repair than it cost initially. Guess I got a Monday morning lemon.

[@PorkChopExpressBK]

Sorry to hear that. I've definitely experienced that with other items and it's not fun. I've owned three Seikos. I destroyed one of them. Completely my fault (always check your pockets before throwing your pants in the wash. lol). The other two were my grandfathers, so they are at least fifty years old, and still work perfectly.

[@getin3949]

Nice watch Hunter, you can still buy that model today because it was and still is a quality watch. Good outing and I loved the fox hole in the fox hole comment. Great video as usual.

[@kognitionwings4597]

Nice watch find! If you have any mechanicals you have found, I am interested!

[@jime386]

did you ever post part 2 of the ghost video?

[@yeahaighht4353]

i love the feeling when you find old things, i remember when i found old roman coins in my family's garden. it feels so rare holding something that hasnt been touched for a very long time

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes it is pretty special to find Things from the past. Kind of give you a small touch back in time. Thanks Weak.

[@allymac762]

congratulations on 100 thousand subs

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

wow , Thanks for taht and for watching.

[@LesBelltexas]

always enjoyable to watch I get excited to wait to see what comes up next lol best of luck to you on your next hunt

[@RaoulThomas007]

The 7C43-7000 seems to be a North American and/or International model and can be easily identified by the use of “QUARTZ” and “SQ” markings on the dial with the Suwa symbol on the edge by 3 o’clock. The 7C43 makes a notable entry in the Tokunaga Watch Museum with the following entry: No.010 Professional 200m diver's watch (Analog quartz movement : 7C43) Expand Commercialization: in 1986 Feature: The best-seller professional 200m diver's watch model which attained the performance in 200m saturation diving. The movement is [7C43] which has the same performance as that of [7C46] and smaller size, and magnetic-resistant ability with the high reliability of higher output torque. Although the case structure is a standard type two-piece case (with screw case back) specification, there are 15 new technologies in this case such as; the powerful glass screw ring fixed structure same as 600m with the same glass fixing structure, L shaped glass gasket structure, glass screw ring fixing structure, twin side shield crown structure, special elastic strap made from polyurethane rubber of SEIKO original strap. This description indicates what puts the 7C43 above many other Seiko quartz divers outside of the Tuna series is the anti-magnetic shield and the crystal retaining ring with the L shaped gasket.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

wow , impressive stuff and thanks a lot for that Raoul. Appreciated. Greetings to you.

[@DaveWorsham]

Always look forward to the next video!!! Is this my favorite channel?? ...just might be!

[@joe77h32]

Enjoying history and nature. Fantastic!

[@Paulvanacker1]

A fox in a foxhole... sounds like a Dr Seus book. :) Awesome find with the watch. Wow.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There you go and thanks my friend :)

[@featheredskeptic1301]

That's a relatively modern watch. There was nothing like battery powered quartz stabilised wrist watches during WW2.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We know that now and thanks for tip. Thanks for watching.

[@mdcebu]

Do you think that that one heavy piece of shrapnel was a meterorite?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i am not sure , who knows. Thanks for watching.

[@stephenhanson4513]

great video great finds and a good watch nice to find a bullet but the fox hole is a badger oval hole but still great finds looking forwards to the next video take care as you bring great things to see take care good friend all the best

[@MrCarGuy]

I'm amazed at how someone lost a modern Seiko diver in the middle of the forest... it would be hard not to notice, haha.

[@leonidasspartan6863]

a fox digging a fox hole in a ww2 foxhole... cant get any more ironic then that! great video thanks for posting

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

He he , very cool. Thanks

[@markbaker2580]

Loved it HH! Thanks !!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Mark :)

[@capefearstormtrooper437]

can we see pictures of your finds as they are at your house. it would be nice to see how you have cleaned and stored all that you have found.

[@moonquest]

I think it's from around 1985.

[@jopi24]

Love ur fantastic very very interesting videos, the watch is the Seiko model 6309 automatic dive watch. Circa 1980.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

cool and thanks for info. Greetings from me

[@davegoodridge8352]

Enjoy your videos. Question, you seem to mostly find relics from the German Army. Do you ever find things from the Allied Army's?

[@m0taz99]

Thanks for sharing your finds enjoy watching your videos.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you do Dave and thanks.

[@RicardoRMedina]

This particular watch dates from 1980's . Some models didn't need a battery as it winds via a pendulum that keeps it ticking as long as you wear it. I have one, I purchased it in 1983.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Cool and thanks for info. Greetings to Ricardo from WW2HH

[@anthonyroberts7718]

All the holes in the aluminum pieces were put there to lighten the weight of them. When finding the iron cartridges, can you estimate a time frame of their manufacturing date? Maybe like in 1944 they started using iron to make them? The fox in the foxhole must have been a German fox lol. The watch cleaned up very nice. Did I notice both watches stopped on a Thursday? Another nice adventure.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Some of the Iron cartridges are still readable of the head stamp so sometimes we can. Thanks Anthony.

[@madhatters1966]

Good History Hunt as always, Thanks for sharing

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching Madhatters

[@marcorubio2962]

Seiko aired its first TV ad for its watches in 1953. I don't think it made watches, especially in this style, until at least a few decades later.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i know. thanks for watching

[@toddwhite8783]

Not sure what settings to use for general searching . sensitivity and discrimination. any suggestions.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

it Depends on machine. good ground Balance first and then it is preferences of users i think. Thanks

[@williamcummings4894]

Some cool finds and new finds as well.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@wordsmithgobshite3296]

Ironically, it was probably some guy metal detecting and lost his watch digging for something.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

or a sports freak running for dear life fearing the fox in the foxhole in the foxhole...ha ha. Thanks for watching.

[@wordsmithgobshite3296]

WW2HistoryHunter lol, love what you do by the way.

[@ElementalMassage]

Nice watch! Wonder how it got all the way out there?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

So truen and thanks :)

[@cass276]

All Seiko watches have movement numbers on the outside back case which will tell you the month and year of manufacture. Just google seiko dating numbers. Just looking at the watches, the Titanium one is about 2000s and could be an expensive watch. The Divers one is a Scuba divers probably from the 1980s the earlier examples of this watch were automatics, (I have an automatic example which externally looks identical to yours) also an expensive watch. The divers should run if you put a battery in it,- as they are a very rugged watch. Nice finds.

[@cass276]

I'm a subscriber, I like the WW2 history. Regards from the UK

[@cornishrob123]

Stunning watch it really is .Arnie as it's similar to the watch Arnold in preditor commando twins ,if it was a Arnie they are worth a lot.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@makotojerry620]

[@ibkg]

Someone will watch this video and say " Hey that's my watch ! " lol ..... very nice find though

[@RemunJ66]

Love watching your finds but if I'm right the first watch ever created in our modern era running on a battery was in 1957 so this one isn't a WW2 relic actually ... I'm sorry ✌😉

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

No i know and i said that as well in the video Sir. Thanks for info and for watching.

[@cogidubnus1953]

Modern watch, but still an interesting hunt...thank you

[@lukeperkins5932]

Were you in a tree filming that animal hole? Really enjoyed seeing the bullet with no cartridge stuck in some sand...lovely stuff!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

No not i a tree just on the ground. i might set up a sequence camera to try and get the animal on tape. Thanks

[@Diggerww2]

Nice Watch ! ,does it still work ?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes my friend , they both work. Have just found a New watch but that was very bad condition. Thanks for watching and keep digging man. WW2HH

I had that exact Seiko watch, band and all. I purchased it new in 1969

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

how cool is that. Thanks

[@round51]

At 4:00; that could be a meteorite if it's heavy. ; ) Really though getting know what a meteorite would look like in the wild is a good thing to know for any person out there swinging a metal detector.

[@isuzu6851]

The perforated piece of aluminium comes from a german smoke bomb. i cant remember the exact model. it sits in the middle probably containing the explosive material.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

you could be right. i have seen something like that before. Thanks Yuuko

[@isuzu6851]

No problem, The Smoke candle I reffered to is called a RauchsichtZelchen, its a smoke candle used to signal aircraft. the piece of aluminium sits inside in the middle behind the bigger broken disk. www.warrelics.eu/forum/ordnance-ammo/rauchsichtzelchen-orange-80-smoke-candle-19126/
