German Helmet and K98AZ - Dug up on WWII Battlefield

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Folly. In the early years we cleaned the helmets till they were completely rustfree. Now we only put them for a few hours in distilled water with oxalic acid ( to clean a bit and to preserve remains of paint and decals ). Google search for the precise method.

[@PotatoGunsRule]

In the US we'd call the barrel find a "barrelled receiver with trigger". If you look around you may find the stock parts such as the barrel bands and trigger guard, although they may have rusted away.

[@staryjaszczur]

Helmet seems to be in a good condition.Congratulations.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Wow what a great find! Intact with an intact liner even! I think a lot of the stuff they find is abandoned equipment. The soldiers buried them to hide them. Or local clean up crews buried them as trash. That's why everything is so deep. They must be using top of the line metal detectors. It seems to me that the lower end ones can only find metal 8 inches or less deep.

Mooie vondsten alweer. ben wezen graven deze week in een bos bij polen en heb 1 m42 helm gevonden. Ook nog met de magneet een mg kist en een duitse m40 uit een meertje gevist!! de helm glimt zelfs nog net als de mg kist. Ook nog een russische helm gevonden in een schuurtje helemaal nog gaaf, en nog meer dingen. Voor de rest succes met jullie vondsten!!! Gr Nick

[@biomasterizing]

its all soooo cool !! not about the findings, but about the experience.. If i could ever go there and find something, i would give it to a museum or something, you know, not disrespecting the dead... not respectful when you take away from a dead man's his things

[@stuart1970]

bedankt for the reply,still searching but might have to go just over the boarder in germany?to find some good stuff.maybe theres still places in holland also?Good luck on your next adventure...

[@chris35128]

Good Find Buddy.

[@dainbranage]

i have always wanted to do this :D Walk onto a random battlefield and dig up people's grave. A must do in life

[@onlinedodo]

Man dit weekend naar de ardennen geweest. Maar zooi gevonden. dit gevoel wil ik ook eens meemaken. 13juli ga ik weer naar de ardennen. Hopen dan maar. :D Topvondst!!!

[@PeDoBeAr321]

think about it you are holding on a helmet and the barrel of a gun that a man was using 60-70 years ago and he died in the biggest conflict known to man amazing just AMAZING. !!!! :D

[@follydentoom1721]

Thank you for the advise!

[@Slimdusty100]

@112alone I agree! Same here. Great find guys!

[@thebritishww2man]

At 1:50 when you take the helmet out of the ground you are lucky it didn't have a skull attached to a body in it. The only plus about that would be that you would find more kit. (on the body/skeleton)

[@biomasterizing]

@glennetnixz yeah, its about you having creating your own picture of a battle that happened there, rather than watching it form TV with the same view as other viewers. there, you have the option to imagine how soldiers were fighting, and feeling great about what you discovered there

[@vinegaroon1]

It looks like this fellow was sitting in a hole and had a machine gun aimed at forces advancing at him. Then he took a lick and slumped down into the hole which was covered sooner or later by nature or more warfare. The helmet looked like was down lower than the gun-barrel. He must have slumped off to the side when hit.

[@Madrigos]

Could you send me a PM on where to search for stuff like this?It's amazing!I'm a big ww2 fan and I would love to find old stuff like this!

[@45ollila]

cool vid i wish i culd dig up a pice of history like tha

[@eywwruuethyueruryueh]

alweer mooie vondsten

[@P47RICK]

the best way to retrieve stuff from the ww2 age is to search abandoned bunkers :/ Digging for stuff is kinda dangerous because old ammunition could still go off.

[@schuur10]

Super goeie beloning op je huiswerk glennetnixz!. Sorry..ik moest net wel effe donders lachen bij het uitgraven van die helm... Ken je die animatiefilm (ICE AGE)?,,net precies dat geluid van die eekhoorn dat probeert een EIKEL(=vrucht van de EIK}LAT.benaming,quercus robur.)integraven om het te kraken

[@55thwestmoreland]

Het k98az geweer werd gebruikt in Wo1. Deze is dus waarschijnlijk afkomstig uit 'n oude voorraad, uitgereikt aan het eind van de oorlog.

[@joostjb]

die helm is heel mooi :)

[@0tairanis0]

hoi. :) vandaag onze eerste metaaldetector aangekomen. ram vet!! hopenlijk hebben we er veel lol mee. en laat de vondsten maar komen!! gr loek

[@mmotorhead]

Believe me, the hammer's gonna smash your dream \m/

[@stuart1970]

nice find guys,lovely helmet.ive been searching for 5 weeks now and only found english and german bullets.did you find this items near aachen?good luck on your next time..groetjes

[@killerdude150]

go to local or kinda far away gun shops i live in south dakota and i found i guy selling almost every kind of helmet. They go for $300 to around $600

[@joostjb]

"ja hoor, jaa een duitse!" en dan even later "dat had ik nou echt niet verwacht " xD mooie vondsten!, heb je de herlaad sleutel van de karabijn nog gevonden? of zat die er nog in. meestal gaan die los van het geweer als het ligt te rotten ;)

[@Xaiango]

Keep it, you'd need something as a helmet stand XD

[@RudeKarma101]

Do you give the items you find to a museum? Or do you keep them?

[@nigahiga001010]

You know the gloves that you have I have the same one

[@HostelVlogger97]

@Rami2k9 i think that the soldiers threw the helmets and everything into a put and possibly burned the bodies

[@killercrabman]

DIG THE THING OUT B4 YOU TUG AT IT!!! ITS BEEN THERE 70 YRS SO IM SURE YOU HAVE ONE SPARE SECOND TO TAKE A BIT OF CARE.. THE SLOWER YOU GO THE MORE YOU FIND.

[@mdc2296]

i think it is sad to think of who owned the relics and what they were like. or even what they were doing when they died

[@tootall300]

klasse jongens!!!!

[@kchastain3]

What if a skull had fallen out of that helmet? Yikes. Anyway, great video.

[@felix200100]

i think all of these items should be engraved with the real holder's name, and then sent to the family

[@follydentoom1721]

I found a similar helmet in similar condition. How did you clean the helmet if i may ask?

[@DaMilkzhake]

Can someone answer my question? When you hunt for with a metal detector, do you need a permit or something like that. becouse I live in Sweden and apperently it's illegal to hunt for stuff, unless your huntnig for your own missing stuff..

[@demonx242]

you should post a vid on tyour findings after being cleened

[@47charlieboy]

Will you sell any of the helmets you've found?

[@1974sharks]

@DanJM14 Lol, thats like a second nature to us (Dutch) and i think its to entertain the viewers also :)

[@k98100]

@glennetnixz Nee helaas was mijn camera vergeten. maar ik heb ook meer vondsten wat ik wel heb gefilmd ik ga al mijn filmpjes ook nog op youtube zetten kunnen jullie ook zien wat ik heb gevonden. maar ik heb nog niet zoveel als jullie gevonden maar ik ben ook pas 2 jaar met deze hobby bezig maar heb al aardig wat helmen. succes verder. Gr Nick.

[@melvinbadenbroek]

[@Sendar12]

hoe weten julie eigenlijk wat die dingen allemaal precies zijn? gewoon ervaring ofzow? want ze zien er neit bepaald meer nieuw uit ahahah

[@Devolion]

doe je dit voor je werk of is dit gewoon een hobby voor jou ?

[@JimmyCrawford]

probably shouldnt have yanked it out the ground like that incase it was still loaded with functional rounds...least not with the barrel pointing towards his balls!

[@geojhkj]

hes isnt a nazi he is a normal person that lives in germany and the nazis are gone!

[@biomasterizing]

@gasmask117 Me too..

[@DanJM14]

Why do they swear in English?

[@88pie88]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! i whent to every pawn shop every antiec store called ww2 shops all over the world. and i cant find a single ww2 helmet. but some idiots dig a hole in the ground and find oneand just say fuck . it makes me sick, i would charish the helmet, the guy must of been dead with a k98 and a helmet together. smells like a old grave.

[@popsnacks2]

just to say do not restore any of these how they are jsut clean them it raises the price tag! dont restor@!
