Fantastic finds in the forest. ( and it goes on and on... )

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Some locations can be just totally AMAZING ! I still cant belive how history can share. Have you ever been as lucky as this ? Let me know in the comments.Thanks for watching.

[@PeterInglis21]

Wish I could put up a picture I got of aircraft wheels I found lol.

[@alexexarhos4163]

WW2HistoryHunter yea keep finding old bullets from ww2 in greece

[@gabepaterson2365]

Love watching your videos... saying Hi from NH USA !!! Keep digging!

[@peteranderson878]

WW2HistoryHunter the medal is in such great condition I thought it was a ww2 medal but it's WW1 just brilliant

[@joe77h32]

Hello from Maine, USA! Awesome vid! Thanks-

[@beverleymacdonald1352]

I love your videos, excellent content. You are real and down to earth and respectful. The best is your genuine excitement and the fact that you do not sensationalise. Thank you HH and team!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Appreciate that

[@bed4269]

I always get excited when you upload I love your videos!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

So glad to read that. Thanks.

[@KnightsHospitalier]

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Nice video again! I have never been as lucky as you with that medal haha. I did find some nice relics on the Eastern Front very recently. Video will be up in a couple of weeks.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

sometime i can not belive it myself , as i said to my daughter , no one will belive us :) Thanks my friend.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Good to see you again :) Nice War Merit cross, and yes, It's a Soviet F1 hand grenade. Not dangerous though. Just unscrew the cap and burn it in a fireplace. When the charge have burned out, take a stick, turn it around and pour out the remaining oil. Then you will have a nice display item :) Great trip!

[@randybugger1477]

I thought it might have been a 'Hindenburg Cross" or next of kin honor cross but the hinge (pardon the term) is different to what I've seen in Google; great find by your daughter H.H...ever thought of getting her to fill out a lottery form ;-)

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks my friend. Very busy at the time. Thanks for taking time to watch and keep maing Your great videos. Greetings from us.

[@QuantumMech_88]

Dangerous and bad advice . Explosives used in grenades - mortars and other items can chemically react with metals and threads over time making them extremely sensitive to friction and even static electricity .

[@legionitalia309]

Wow! A ww1 French croix de guerre, you lucky devil!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well , sometimes history Works in strange ways. Thanks

[@OGGalleryCrew92]

And WW2 War

[@Briselance]

@@WW2HistoryHunter This medal was probably found there because it had been awarded to a French servicemember. Did you find anything about that man, please?

[@reecewood155]

Its the 1914-1918 French Cross of war, they are very common. You're really lucky if you find a 1914-1917 version, they're rarer than the 1914-1918 version.

[@cflinger1979]

This is by far my favorite channel on KZbin. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

wow how great to read :) Thanks my friend.

[@mikeeckert6269]

The bomb squad probably has you on their prefered client list, most reported! Maybe after 10 more reports, they give you a "honorary bomb tech" t-shirt! Love your stuff!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

he h e , they might give you a kick in the butt for calling :) Thanks

[@petermcgarrymusicandflying]

What a pleasure it is looking at these bunkers. Reminds me of my son and I when he was younger on visits to Normandy sailing all the way from Ireland. Makes me want to go back again. Your kids are stars !

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Peter :)

[@ww2finders273]

thats just... AMAZING! i mean a ww1 medal on the ground, a panzerfhaust standing next to the tree!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

what can i say. History is kind of neat :) Thanks.

[@bobdollar8746]

When a person is able to see and touch history as you are it is much more than "neat" it is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences to those of us who can only dream about it.

[@Goldenives]

Amazing video! I love these searches picking us so many artefacts, looks like virgin ground, the panzerfaust tube looks like the soldier just left it propped up against the tree all those years ago and nobody has been there since! Great location! Love it 👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

This smal location was truly special. Thank YOu again for watching.

[@whowhophoenixaz.2583]

2:10 unbelievable! Great surface find.👍 It looks like it was dropped just yesterday! Do you put on mosquito repellent? 8:32 holy crap (SHIT)!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well , all i can say is what i said to my daughter , who will belive us :) Thanks

[@cccccc5398]

That was a FAN-TAXTIC find....WoW. That was COOL....

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@colleenpriest7838]

UNREAL to find that WW1 badge; how lucky was that????? Good job and way to go on looking around while you take a break.Thanks

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

One in a million i think and thanks again for comment and for watching.

[@adrianmunro7438]

I love your excitement always..your daughter always brings you good finds and luck..thanks again for sharing!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes Airfire she does. Very luckt girl indeed. Thanks for watching.

[@markbaker2580]

Well another great video from the past! Great ! Amazing place I liked seeing the mortars . Be careful! Be safe ! Thank you HH!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you Mark :)

[@jarheadshooter6452]

The something you found at 10:50 is the bottom of a mortar round. If you look carefully you can see the primer in the center.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

ok and thanks.

[@tedc3895]

When you find unexploded rounds how do you mark the location for the bomb squad. Put up marker or how???

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

normally a marker yes. Thanks

[@gherrera6665]

Always put extra spray so the mosquito don't bits lol great finds and always glad to see you spending valuable time with your kids

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

hate those little buggers. Thanks for watching.

[@ecmarks438]

WW2HistoryHunter only the female mosquito bites; guess you are "sexy" 😆 to them. I like how you include your kids in the trips. GL & HH.

[@JF39621]

DUDE That’s a French Corix de Guerre the highest Valor award for the French!!!!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@nipperparr6709]

What type of metal detector did you use ?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

here i think it was a Makro Racer. Thanks

[@joebrown1382]

That medal is truly a Holy Madonna find!! What a most opportunistic find in such pristine condition as well absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to see part 2.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well joe , sometimes history do present itself on a silver platter. Thanks for watching.

[@MjrCarnyx]

Awesome location indeed. And one sick medal you got there, definately worth the holy madonna. Thanks so much for sharing and I can't wait for the next one :) Cheers & HH

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

he he , my friend there will be more coming up :) Thanks

[@anthonyroberts7718]

What a great find on the WW1 medal. I read were a lot of WW1 soldiers served also in the Second World War. If you remember,Hitler also served in WW1. Are the authorities good about coming out for these ordinances? As many mosquitoes bite you, you would think you would be there blood brother by now and they would leave you alone lol. Nice find on the Russian hand grenade. I’ve never seen one before. Growing up I always thought that bombs and grenades always exploded into small pieces. Wow, how often could go out and find a panzerfaust leaning against a tree? I sure your heart beats a little faster when you find these live ordinances. Great location with plenty of treasures.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Indeed a lucky hit that was and thanks Anthony.

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

When you report the armed pieces, do they disarm them and let you keep them or do they just simply destroy them?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

That is up to the unit to decide. Thanks

[@kuromi-chan6348]

The French medal you found was a "Croix de guerre". Which was a bronze star worn by US troops if awarded in 1917 or 1918. It was an early issue and is worn with a ribbon with a small bronze star on it, indicating it was awarded at corps level for giving action at certain battles. Also for brigade, batlin, or equal mention.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for sharing and Greetings from us.

[@MatSpeedle]

Great finds HH! That Panzerfaust just sitting against a tree for over 70+ years! Amazing! Really makes you wonder, did a soldier lose it? If only it could talk and tell its tale! Amazing!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well , i couldnt tell if it has been standing there for so long but who knows :) Thanks Mat for taking time to watch an for Your support.

[@scopex2749]

2:51 I RECOGNISE THIS IMMEDIATELY That is the French 'Croix De Guerre' medal! My late parents told me about this on a trip to Frace to visit a war museum.The Croix de Guerre may be awarded either as an individual award or as a unit award to those soldiers who distinguish themselves by acts of heroism involving combat with the enemy. Introduced in 1915! WOW HOLY DONDER UND BLITZEN!! SUPERB😮😧👍👏👏👏

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Very special find indeed and loved to be there at that moment. Thanks :)

[@jgmjr42473]

Really amazing! Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank You for the kind Words.

[@davedalby1730]

How do you find your locations? Do you look through archives or is it word of mouth?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Al little bit of all. Research , elderly People sharing , Reading books , looking at maps etc. Thanks for watching.

[@Mbones20000]

Do you just follow old railroads and search old battle sites or do you find specific locations or do you look at sites were there was army camps or all the above

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

All Depends on what we want to acheive. Research before is always good but not always giving good results. Some Luck is also present i think :) Thanks

[@4567starkiller]

Hi WW2HH great film again must be great to get your hands dirty again after several location visits keep hunting my friend👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Digging every chance i get :) Thanks

[@funkebitz76]

I'd be interested in what the medal you found was and if authentic?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes it i a genuine medal it seems. Thanks

[@thehookandknife9703]

I started looking at your videos a few weeks ago, and i really enjoy them! Thanks allot for sharing on youtube, you're the best!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for taking time to watch. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter

[@michaelharrison6976]

hello, wonderful video's, I have a question when you find grenades or live mortar rounds and you call bomb disposal do you get the case back after they are defused?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

no , the are destroyed. Thanks Mike

[@michaelharrison6976]

oh ok well it's good.they are disposed of properly! what type of magnet should I use? I got told of some possible history from Texas revolution time frame

[@RundfunkerOnline]

Very nice!! In which country is this? :)

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Well , i do say it in the video :) Thanks

[@RundfunkerOnline]

My speakers are broken :( Had to watch it without sound But will get my headphones ;)

[@alfieproplayer3030]

That medal is definitely a Holy Madonna moment my friend. Great video :-)

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

It sure was Mark. Thanks and have a still great summer my friend.

[@whowhophoenixaz.2583]

Do the really come out when you report unexploded ordinance? Do you mark them with a GPS? I really want to know!🙋👏👏

[@Timbuk24]

Glenn Who , Phoenix , Az. Hey Glenn, atm i dont know in which country this location is. If it is here in germany, of course they come to pick up this things. You can call police or special service(KMRD -Kampfmittel Räumdienst). It helps when you give coordinates to them and if possible to close area with caution tape. If you called police, they come direct and close the area for KMRD. KMRD comes between 0.5 and about 3hrs, matters where u are. In forest better to call KMRD anonym and not police, because digging in german forest is forbidden.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes they have to. Thanks

[@whowhophoenixaz.2583]

Ben Woos - Thanks for the info! 👍👍👍

[@charleskettering2626]

Welcome back ! Missed seeing you. Looks like you had a live round day, like I tell my friends when in Europe tread lightly. Always enjoy your videos.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you tokk the time to watch Charles and Greetings to you from us :)

[@SirSolong]

Great job. I understand if you dont tell where this location is, but in wich country is it?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Locations are never given Sir :)

[@white03Mach1]

as much as i like your exploring and narratives what i like most is you've alway got one (or both)of your kids with you my dad used to take me rummaging through old warehouses and manufacturing structures, most on the verge of being demolished and torn down

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

we do like to share some moments out in nature together i guess. Thanks my friend.

[@sjion]

It is the French croix de Guerre from world war one. There are also second world war versions of the same medal

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@joebrown1382]

How do you mark the bombs & grenades so the bomb squad can find them?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

it all Depends on location and circumstanses. Thanks for watching.

[@ElementalMassage]

Did you ever find out what the medal was from?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

not really other then what you see. Thanks.

[@upalevelproductions]

Amazing finds my friend, I can't believe there's so many live explosives still lying around, over here in the UK if you find one the government comes and removes it. Great video 👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There are houndreds of thousands of them still in the ground. Thanks for watching.

[@belgiumdevil9257]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@malcolmrodwell5458]

Sorry did I hear you say the bomb squad will come in? Do you have to call them in every time you find an old bomb? Great work by the way. I really appreciate you making these videos.

Lots of dangerous finds on that day! Thanks for sharing!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great location. Thanks for watching

[@Krulucifervonlayfon]

You find so many explosives I imagine you have the bomb squad on speed dial lol. Great vid and that Panzerfaust was cool to see, I probably would have pissed my pants in excitement if I found something like that laying against a tree. As always, cant wait for the next vid.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

it can be quite exiting yes. Thanks for watching.

[@NUJAC1000]

Really enjoy yr videos...are u from Germany??

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

will do my best and thanks my friend.

[@hooper4581]

Outstanding hunt as usual pal ! Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking us along. I imagine that there is not much land that wasn't touched by war. Might be interesting to see a video on how the bomb squads operate and how they feel about detectorists in general.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well , they dont want to be filmed i have found out :) Thanks

[@KubotaManDan]

Great finds, thanks for helping to clean the landscape of potentially dangerous ammunition . Keep up the great video work.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Dan

[@UnluckyYou]

Very cool video man! I like it

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

GLad you watched.

[@Billofthenorth1]

Has there been a film made there recently or a re-enactment? Possibly it was lost by a participant. Certainly a very clean find. Great video as usual.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Hm , not that i know of. Thanks for watching.

[@douro20]

Would they even let you have the deactivated round?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

we dont keep any of that. Thanks

[@Xxwolffangwarrior1xX]

some of those rocks could contain iron. Slag from forges was an excellent material for this purpose

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

could be , i couldnt tell. Thanks

Awesome finds and very cool location 👍 great👍

GLad you watched.

[@henryeberhardt3012]

Thank you for the footage

[@RequiosWoW]

Another great video you are one of my favorite youtubers. It would be interesting to learn more about the areas that you are searching in. Perhaps some history of the frontlines etc while you are searchig?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for the kind Words my friend. Not always possible to reveal location i am afraid but see what i can do.

[@pajs1000]

The medal was an amazing find. Holy Madonna indeed! Looking forward to seeing what else you found in the follow up video.

[@charliethomas59]

Great find. In a lot of you vidos when you find a German hand grenade or a missel you say I going to flag it for the German bomb squad. Will you explain what do you exactly do? Just interested.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well that all Depends on location and circumstances my friend and as it does it will be to much to Write here. Thanks for watching.

[@jacksonkristoff903]

I love war history. Especially when you dig it up right from the ground

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@Chuxonja]

Oh man, thy way that first grenade poped up, that must have been exciting :D How stable are the WW2 explosive devices in general considering their age and exposure to the elements ? The panzerfaust find was just epic, corrosion aside, almost like it was casually set aside just yesterday.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Panzerfaust was a surprise find indeed. Specially like that. Thanks for watching.

[@Martin-rc4iy]

Hi HH, that was definitely a holy mad moment, looks like the weather was good for you not sure about the mosquito moment tho, look forward to next instalment Cheers

Thanks for watching.

[@simonkimberly6956]

WW2HistoryHunter i was asking because it might explain the metal is that in germany?

[@vipersyl]

At 8:33 I would love to own a grenade like that...any chance you can send that to me? I just want to display it.

[@Krulucifervonlayfon]

Most of those grenades still have the chance of exploding and at the time of this video being posted the bomb squad probably already disposed of it.

[@vipersyl]

KRЦLЦCIFΣR VӨП LΛYFӨП that's to bad.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

soryy that cant be done :) Thanks for watching.

[@蕭承禎]

Very very nice ！！How did you deal with those bombs？Called the police？

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

here we Call them bomb Squad. Thanks

[@jensjensen7462]

WW2HistoryHunter Do you have to give the info anonymous - do they track detecting guys? Cool Vid Sir 👍

[@Krystof.Veritae]

Fantastic Finds but please be careful with the ammunitions and poking at things these can still explode ..... I remember my grandma always told me when I was going to forests where the front went through not to pick these up as some exploded when animals stepped or poked at them .....Great finds btw.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Do you ever worry when you find live ordnance. you are always so calm and your like yeah "We will mark it and notify the bomb squad and they will come dispose of it" I think this is another reason I enjoy your videos!
