Incredible Relics Found in German Dugouts - Metal Detecting WWII Battlegrounds

Many viewers of my KZbin channel often ask me the question "Where do I get things for my restorations?" In this video I will try to answer this question. All items in my videos were found during excavations in the fields of the Second World War.

I’m amazed at how everything’s in such good condition considering being buried for best part of 80 years. Can only guess the grounds full of clay and has shielded it from decay possibly. Great video!

[@garrettelliott2565]

The mud has sealed off these items from the air which would have corroded it. These belts and other items will probably be in the same condition for centuries under that tightly packed clay.

of course, clay acts as a preservative, and the items, of course, are very well preserved. come and help there are enough artifacts for everyone

Thanks for Sharing Love the History, so worth Watching all the treasures/Relics you find. Lots of hard work involved doing this. Nice rewarding Finds!

[@marks3678]

Well done for digging in the conditions they would have lived and fought in. That dig for me would have been amazing and upsetting at the same time.

[@PsYcHo07200]

Magnifiques trouvailles ,la terre glaise les a super bien conservé 🥰🥰🥰🥰👌💥

[@codywarhawk7099]

As an archaeologist, I really hope you did proper documentation of all the artifacts you found and that you did other stuff like take photos within the context and create datapoints on a GIS system to show the spread of artifacts. What you seem to have here is a historical archaeological site. All archaeological sites are deserving of proper documentation, regardless of their historical significance.

[@TheMorayMosstrooper]

Thank you for taking the trouble to film all of this; it's fascinating!

[@marcioreis2648]

Great video and awesome finds. Can't wait for your next discovery.

Neat, I had one of those K98 bayonets, intact, in its metal scabbard, recovered from Normandy, 82. It was stolen from a locked DCC desk at work in 95.

[@joshuatree777]

This is so awesome, notice how the mud and clay prevented all of the wear and corrosion.

[@jackwacaster7621]

I have watched several of these videos. I wonder if these people are freelancers or EOD. I have seen some dig up cases of Panzerfausts ,grenades and mines of various types some of which look pristine condition to the point they might possibly be reconditioned to a useable conditions. I would be curious how many people blow themselves up each year.

[@edhorst7212]

Incredible find after all these years buried. Nice collection of military artifacts.

[@rogercrone3628]

I love watching you go out and hunt for stuff when you come back with all kinds of good stuff God bless you and have a great day😅

[@OculusVector]

I would absolutely love to find such historical treasures.

[@scottdunn2178]

Until you hit an old box of landmines with your shovel...

[@felixderkiller1]

That’s the best part !

[@jakethetool698]

I appreciate your hard work, and I'm in love with your truck, but I sure would like to show you a real shovel. I dig for Indian artifacts, and use a sharpened version of a "caprock" shovel that can be delicate, when needed, but will also chop right thru large oak tree roots

[@williamk2257]

Great finds those belts and belt buckles were almost like new it looked like!👍🏼

[@markfoster6369]

Lots of hard work but your perseverance paid of in the end.nice finds

[@JKerr-iy2jr]

Digging in old trenches and foxholes seems like a good way to dig up old munitions and live rounds, as illustrated in this video.

[@jamesburns2232]

Munitions might be old but can still blow up. 💥🙆‍♂💀

[@Yves95128]

Nice finds and very cool truck👍🏻. Thanks for sharing👋🏻

my grandfather fought in the 4th Romanian army, in the south of Stalingrad, he was seriously wounded, but he survived, he lived until 1988.

My great grandfather. going strong at 100 years young, served in the Philippines campaign against the Japanese army which was taking the Philippines under control of Imperial Japan. He told me stories of how cumbersome it was running off the carrier onto those Philippines beaches with all the gear strapped to him and his rifle. Huge respect to him

[@n-amTimp]

@@wahoo. I watched the series The Pacific, it shows the harsh, cruel reality that our grandparents lived through, nationality does not matter, we are all human. They certainly did not offer to go to "hell" willingly.

[@smokingjoking]

If you do more. You may want to look into keeping some of those items wet until boiling in oil. You can get very fast decay. That oxidation has been waiting for years for more oxygen. A lot like scuba treasure leather rubber brass glass don't seem to decay. The leather shoes by titanic NOTHING else left but pairs of shoes next to each other.

[@DavidLee-vu2bc]

Wish I could help! Looks like so much fun mixed in with a lot of hard work.

[@mmotorhead]

Awesome finds... congratulations.

[@Fallout-fq2uv]

Thank you for sharing this with us. You are amazing. Just please be careful that the sides don't collapse on you. Take a friend with you just in case.

[@Rob-le9fs]

Thank you for showing your finds .

[@Jhearding]

I wasn't aware that wood and leather could remain buried that long without rotting completely. Hmmm...

[@SuperNutty1234]

You would be shocked , depends on the conditions , oxygen and such , theres things that people have found buried in mines such as wood handled pickaxes from 100 years ago buried in dirt mud and water and they arent rotted

[@tristanvros]

In airtight non-acidic mud almost anything remains. Absolute best soil to find relics in.

[@josephgreenwood4929]

What I learned over the years buried in the dirt and deep in the ground at times preserves it

[@lancelarue5060]

Ok K

[@davejohns6694]

Lack of oxygen, hence preservation.

[@wagonmaster2158]

These are fascinating videos. I like the truck too!

[@yoalepa]

Excelente trabajo!!!!

[@bulldog1066jpd]

Quality finds ❤

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

Curious…. What country location are you digging in. In the 90’s I was stationed in Italy and they still had pillboxes intact in the rural area of the country. I never really stopped to look around as I had my family with me. But it always caught my interest wondering why some of the fortifications were built.

[@halmakenreuther8843]

The clay preserves very nice. Btw i like your truck. Is it selfmade?

[@robertbrown-qf8xy]

This is the coolest thing I have seen all month!

[@Gesocksbremse]

Es ist schon erstaunlich, wie gut die Gegenstände nach dieser langen Zeit noch erhalten sind. Warum gibt es an dieser Fundstelle nur Ausrüstungsgegenstände und keine menschlichen Überreste?

[@_______Thor_____]

Ich denke das Schneiden die raus

[@ichniemand]

Vielleicht die Stellung fluchtartig verlassen ?

[@karolbanaszkiewicz5938]

Die haut produte sind gut erhalten weil die waren in erde ohne luft usw. Und es gibts keine knochen weil die soldaten haben gefucht die wolten nicht gefangen sein

[@Gesocksbremse]

@@ichniemand Wohl sehr fraglich? Es war in der Wehrmacht nicht üblich, alle Ausrüstungsgegenstände und Persönliches zurück zulassen. Es wird wohl ein Geheimnis bleiben was in diesem unwirtlichen Gelände passiert ist. Wir gedenken an die armen Soldaten aller Nationen, die ihr Leben für die verbrecherischen Machthaber geben mussten. Deshalb nie wieder Krieg!

So interesting to see history being dug up so long ago makes one wonder who the soldiers were before the war there lives there family carried these weapons into war not knowing the inevitable

[@Brahma-Astra]

great finds

[@Spliyjon]

Good job👍🏻are mines ever a concern when digging?

[@danleach4123]

It almost looks like the mud has almost preserved some of these relics. Some would say leave them in the ground because of what they signify and are attached to. Others would say preserve them as a piece of history. Something to say just how far we’ve come since those dark times. Good on you for doing all that work to uncover the past

[@Lecruque]

And yet, on the same lands, dugouts are dug again, mortars fired, and german panzers are rolling… people with their yearn for power will always exist, at the cost of simple and idealistic men.

[@TheVNBiker]

@@Lecruque Only Germans? None from France, England and the USA? It's sad that tanks have to roll for more than just training purposes to defend the freedom of a people.

[@antonioizquierdo6760]

Increíble Equipos de muy buena calidad, 70 o 80 años en el fango o en agua.

You sure do work hard at your collecting. Impressive. The mud must be a time capsule.

[@jayvoodovanquishdamagicman676]

I have wrote about ww2 since a kid and what you are doing is a dream of mine I'm ill and wish I could my wish was to own a true battle German helmet and a British one but to see what your pulling out the ground is mind blowing as its in such good condition thank you so much for saving these historical items and wish you all the best in the future 😎✌️🇬🇧

[@jman1989]

Bodies are the worst

[@calinmasca2993]

Very good, comrade! Respect *WWll Tube Restoration*

[@davewilson9738]

The mud has preserved that stuff so well! You want to put it in jars and sell it as a face mask for people to rejuvenate their skin! Do you sell any of these artefacts you find or is it for your private collection?

[@officeroinker440]

Incredible finds

[@wwiituberestoration1011]

Yes, that's for sure. Very rarely come across such bunkers

[@heybeter6685]

how do you know where to find the dugouts? do you just look around until you find one or do you know where they are before you set out?

[@derw8644]

They got real maps from that time and they know exactly where to find stuff

[@TheVNBiker]

Former shelters can be found with the naked eye, even after 70 or 80 years, if you recognise the signs. The changes on the surface are concise and allow conclusions to be drawn, the rest is hard work with a shovel

[@jamesadams6009]

That white jumper was a smart move.
