I Found a Helmet! And Much More!

[@aumetalmental8403]

I love those open top thimbles. That was an excellent example of one. ✌️😎

[@MetalDetecting24]

I agree, this one looked very nice indeed. Thanks for watching! 👍

How does an 1800s helmet just happen to cross paths with you? When all the elements and perfect timing are on your side, you have that special honour. Incredible. I bet you're over the moon

[@wolfgangemmerich7552]

This helmet from the great war 1618 - 1648 ; so it fits to the other 1700s relicts !

[@francescalichfieldcity6971]

​@@wolfgangemmerich7552 I only went by what was written on screen. He said 1800s?

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you Francesca, it was exactly like you described it! The forest patch I was about to investigate was square, but I just wanted to check out the edges. When I looked to the other side, something told me to cross this section and right there it was! Like magic, I mean you saw it. :) It was a perfect day, where (as you wrote) everything came together. Have a great day!

You can find a lot of old buttons in the forest in Germany. Really rare forest finds in Finland. There are a lot of buttons in the fields.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you for the comment. I also have to wonder about the amount of buttons. The button vs "something else" ratio is really odd. I was wondering lately if other people maybe overlook buttons in my area, because the ID is jumping, or the signal is not solid enough (especially on "empty" 1700's buttons, or the ones with a loop). Whatever it is, I'm glad that they are there, otherwise it wouldn't be as exciting. Have a great day & greetings to Finland! 👍

[@lizfletcher2072]

Ah, Mr. 24! The helmet is a stupendous find, as is the open-topped thimble. My father was a master tailor and I loved playing with his tools of his trade. Take care, from me in Australia 😁

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Liz, thank you very much for the comment! I found many thimbles in the past, but this particular one was beautiful. Greetings to Oz! Have a wonderful day! 👍

[@wendybranagan1495]

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Wendy, thank you very much! It was a nice patch of the woods, with finds being a bonus. I hope to extend the area in the future. Have a great day! 👍

[@413MassDigger]

Awesome job my good friend

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hallo Ray, thank you very much! I wish you a great day and plenty of finds!

[@andreaspeter4090]

Hallo MD24, was für ein schönes Video in einem wundervollen Wald. Viele schöne und sehr alte Funde. Ich denke bei dem Silberteil handelt es sich um eine Schutzkappe eines Bleistifts. Solche habe ich früher schon öfter gesehen. In unserer Grundschule hatte der Lehrer solche Kappen. Und dann gab es auch noch aus dem gleichen Material Verlängerungen für Bleistifte, wenn diese durch das anspitzen des Bleistifts nicht mehr un der Hand zu halten waren. Sparmaßnahmen. Heute lacht man darüber. Jetzt ist es schon 14 Tage her, ich werde mich in der kommenden Woche bei Dir melden. Sei freundlich gegrüßt und habe ein schönes Wochenende. Liebe Grüße Andreas

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hallo Andreas, vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar und die interessante Info zum Fund. Ich habe mich schon gewundert und kurz sogar eine stumpfe (dekorative) Pfeilspitze in Erwägung gezogen 😆. Es ist aber bestimmt wie Du schreibst. Nochmals vielen Dank! Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Tag. Beste Grüße!

[@WaynePBA]

Great video as usual. Do you think they left that helmet there as a marker?

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Wayne, I don't know it's hard to tell. To me it looks like someone (back in the day) came to the spot to get rid of what he considered being "trash". All this might have been buried at some point in time. Maybe someone (another detectorist) already dug and left it on the surface, to cover the rest and as you wrote, to mark it. The helmet seems to have been longer on the surface.

[@Nina-twinkle]

The helmet must of been one of those 😮 moments. Are you going to try and restore it ? Nice little project if you have skills, which I'm sure you do ! Still my favourite channel ❤

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Nina, I would have to go back and bring it home first. I don't know if I have the skills to make the best out of it, but I have an idea and could try. The problem would be the mechanical damage. Getting the dents out would be the difficult part. I don't know if I would even try... Thank you very much for watching (and the compliment 😉). Have a great day! 👍

[@keepdigginmetaldetecting]

It’s Friday! Let’s go! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

[@MetalDetecting24]

Haha, I'm uploading another episode for tomorrow. 🙂

[@rick3727]

The helmet is an amazing find. Well done 👍

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Perfect!!!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you Rick. It was a nice surprise. Something else for a change. 😄

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Helmet is magnificent!!!

[@MetalDetecting24]

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you, I'll try to bring it home in the future. Have a great day!

[@mojicoins]

Impresionante excelente hallazgo 👍🏼 emocionantes buen video excelente contenido nos está brindando

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Just love it!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it and hope you will enjoy my future content. Have a great day!

[@harrybond1485]

The round ring with the iron piece could be a rein guide, but it could be too small.😊

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Gorgeous!

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello, thank you very much for the suggestion! Have a great day! 👍

[@starsky7577]

Oh wie ich deine "Vogelkette" liebe....😎

[@Bambule7390]

Unglaublich 😮 Du hast einen sehr alten Helm gefunden mein Freund soetwas ist echt selten . lg

[@MetalDetecting24]

Vielen Dank, es war sehr überraschend, denn normalerweise rechnet man nicht damit. Mal was anderes... Beste Grüße!

[@notagunfreak8146]

42 looks like a training round, wood core metal tip

[@MetalDetecting24]

I think with all the decorative detail it should be "pen" related, but who knows... Thanks for the suggestion & have a great day!

[@dayswithdanny2128]

Part of a victorian twist pencil

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you very much for the info and your comment! Have a great day!

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

Looks a bit like a french adrian helmet, WWI.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you very much for the suggestion, I will look it up.

[@Bambule7390]

Ein Wurst Zipfel ist archäologisch sehr interessant mein Freund.

[@MetalDetecting24]

Das kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Sie tauchen überall auf und ergeben auf den ersten Blick wenig Sinn. Wenn man sie jedoch auf eine Karte legen würde, könnte ein mysteriöses Muster entstehen! Vielen Dank fürs Schauen!

[@donaldscott7279]

I think you found a dump site I would definitely return

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hello Donald, I will think about it. I would have to bring my shovel this time. 🙂

[@jan.pol1963]

4:42 could be a pipe cleaner. Find them a lot in the Netherlands

[@jan.pol1963]

1700 and 1800s claypipes, but it's broken. I think t is🤔 Whe call it Pijpwroeter in Holland. Still have fun detecting 👍I'ts a way of life, I love it....Suc6 MD24

[@MetalDetecting24]

Thank you very much for the suggestion! It would compliment some of the (pipe) wind caps I find. You are right. Detecting is a way of life. One has to be dedicated, otherwise it wouldn't work and be as fun. Thank you once again. I wish you all the best. Greetings to Holland! 👍

[@ramondeenen9098]

german feuerwehr helmet 1920s?

[@MetalDetecting24]

That would be my guess. Maybe late 1800's? Maybe not. Who knows. Thank you very much for your comment. Have a great evening! 👍

[@treasurehunter4024]

French helmet

[@wolfgangemmerich7552]

Must bin from the 1618 - 1648 war ; it fix to the other 1700s relicts .

[@MetalDetecting24]

Hmm, I don't know, but I will look at French helmets later. Thank you very much!

[@MetalDetecting24]

@@wolfgangemmerich7552 Hello Wolfgang, it would be nice if this was the case, but I really think it's rather from 1800-1900's. Thank you very much!
