I grew up with my grandpa. He had been Leuitenant in the 122iest East Prussian infanterie division and had been exactly at that place. He had been staff officer in role of the purser. Thank you for posting this.

Yo I'm a 16 year old teenager, and I just want to say that I have been oddly addicted to WWII history since I was old enough to understand what it was, and finding this channel is just absurd. Thanks for the content you give us. -Thx From Hawaii 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Never seen someone fishing for artillery shells before! :) The smoke shell and case looked like they were dumped in there a week ago. Amazing preservation. I don't even know how I ended up here but will sub, really cool stuff.

[@tredw66]

Mud is an excellent preservative. Keeps oxygen away from items.

[@Earth11111]

Water has oxygen

[@enriicoo]

@@Earth11111 yes but under pressure it is isolated because the particles mixed with water in an explicit status? Pressing so hard that no oxygen can touch that thing, its like woodfence: the" Fence stand" doesnt get rotten away in the ground just where that oxygen co2 comes together xd (sry for my bad english)

My great grandfather was a Hungarian who drove a half track with a mg34 on it. He told me when I joined the Army at 18 the nightmares he had. He would mow countless Russians down and they haunted them.

Nice video, respect for the important hard work and congratulations on the finds. Красивое видео, респект за важный труд и поздравления с находками.

[@felixcat9318]

The image at 0:13 sums it up quite appropriately! The birds nest with eggs laid, awaiting the hatching of new life, and the multitude of high velocity ammunition, which once 'hatched' from its casing goes on with the ending of life...

[@jjp0707]

Amazing finds guys 👍. You all did amazing hard work to recover those items. I wish I could find stuff like that with so much military history.

[@morotoro8023]

Excelente hallazgos de la WWII en buena conservación, vídeo ok.

[@jeffreyjamesgourlay2856]

Lookin for WW2 weapons and come up with that fat Jack-Fish heading out for the fry pan. (2:30) priceless.

[@jjp0707]

That’s awesome how you got the Pike. 👏👏👏

[@mastershammer]

Just beautiful. awesome finds. good luck and hunt.

[@azwris]

Unbelievable accessories. Even better than the actual shells. And the rust is minor due to the oil in the water as it seems. Keep the great work guys!

[@herrhaber9076]

It usually has more to do with the oxygen content in the water. I assume temperature plays a part on all the micro organisms that would otherwise have a feast.

[@azwris]

@@herrhaber9076 Of course! It must be a combination of all these factors. Plus the fact that the iron parts had much better quality than today's.

[@herrhaber9076]

@@azwris I'm not certain iron & steel are of better qualities nowadays. We probably have a better or more suited range for a lot of applications though. One sure thing though, is that the steel used for ammo was top quality. When chemically restauring rusted parts you get to see the microstructure of the steel and well... I'm not a material engineer but the steel from a simple 20mm is quite interesting compared to say a steel pipe. But like you, I'm more impressed by the accessories than the shells themselves. 75 year old wood cases that look as if they were made yesterday is always amazing :)

[@azwris]

@@herrhaber9076 A lot of steel comes from recycled one these days. In automobile as well. This is not of the same durability for sure. I have personal experience but then again each case can be different. Thank you for your comments and yes, the accessories are awesome. They were the reason of my initial post. Awesome stuff!

[@kjisnot]

I guess this pike may also be considered a shellfish.

[@futuregenerationz]

Those shells are indeed dangerous and that looks like back-breaking work. but so well-preserved! I guess it's better to have them out of that frozen lake.

[@jjp0707]

You guys must be so brave to handle those munitions without worrying about an explosion 💥.

[@royalgunsup25reee90]

Bruh what

[@danke4051]

@IKLEANV You are completely right. Look in 14:48 a thin cable is attached to the item, so it won't get lost while placed in water.

[@jamesbruce6258]

I'd be afraid I'd blow myself up with the crazy stuff these guys find love this channel

[@ohnothisguyagain69]

Some of those has "Nb" sign which means they're smoke projectiles. i'm not saying they're not dangerous but they still explode to create a lot of smoke

[@martinrolecek8837]

Those ones were fairly safe to handle. Nonetheless they show high disregard for safety while handling explosives and ammunition in all of their videos. Prime example in this one, is him shaking the smoke shell out of casing while his face was directly above the front of projectile. If that gone of he'll be permanently blind in best case scenario, missing his head in worst.

[@Moosemoose1]

That bucket is a perfect example of "They don't make them like they used to"

I always find it interesting the time of year that they use to get to areas that otherwise would be impossible to get to when not completely frozen over.

[@milo6269]

I love these videos and I would love to do this, but I'm afraid these guys will dig everything before I even get chance to do some digging :D

[@eugeniocamporato8427]

Amazing

[@shloomyshloms]

Some shells had the letters FES or FEW appended to their name. This indicated that the drive ring of the shell was made of sintered iron and rolled iron, respectively.

[@pierre-lucgagnon]

Wow the stuff are very good preserved

[@kristofferhellstrom]

Those are really well preserved

[@inwedavid6919]

Schneider shell of 1916 are typical of French shell, captured devices used by the german army. All the shell found are still highly explosige and may be instable after all these years.

[@thebruffy1077]

Wow great video this should go viral 👏

[@shintokatana17]

Those shells are worth so much money if the are deactivated

[@grayparatrooper]

they should get someone to deactivate them sell them

[@scania1982]

Did the Germans manufacture this type of cage for every artillery grenade? That sounds very expensive.

[@hartmutwrith3134]

it is more expensive if they blow up on transport. Yes, these transport riggs had been and are still standard not only in our German army. These artillery amo had been transportet thousands of miles from Germany by train, horse wagons (most transport in the eastern theatre had been done with horse waggons) and lorries and that had been a very bumpy business. Without these riggs/boxes everything would have blown up.

[@davidblancas8729]

Hello what what extending pole with magnet are you using?

[@klesarhr-bz5of]

Are you doing this for personal purpose or for government?

[@pit_stop77]

I think the fish was just as surprised as the guy was at being caught 🤣

[@svenjatimmel6624]

One day Igor went out in the woods and found some old stuff, as he was digging he said: "Hey guys check it out its a German landmine and lots of bombsssKAAAABOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and that was the end of old Igor

[@CarlKahler]

LOL um how is a magnet sticking to brass?

[@charlessedlacek5754]

If the shells are not primed or fused, the likelihood of them blowing up is zero...especially after being in water for 80 years.

[@edelweiss2971]

Remember though. Once a Year, one people got killed by a buried shell from the WWII in Germany. About the rest of the Eastern front countries, I do not know, but it would probably be som people even there. So please be careful...
