Finding and opening another WW2 time capsule.

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Nicely done Mike! Good to both have our own style. Presenting similar material in different packages keeps it entertaining. Cheers

[@timpinkham8165]

LMAO! "" I rode a horse once". My wife caught that before me. That was funny! LOL!

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

+Tim Pinkham LOL! And a true story.

[@joebrown1382]

Asked me to leave before breakfast lol.

[@MjrCarnyx]

Hahahah ... "she told me to leave before breakfast" ... prachtig. Toffen vondsten en toffe locatie! Ben benieuwd naar de volgende. Cheers

[@mikeburch2998]

That was a great video and thanks for sending it up for us. Greetings from Arizona.

[@joebrown1382]

Horse gas mask filter...amazing find. Thanks for the actual photo. Another good video Mike.

[@lotharsawalt8620]

It`s the propellant of a mortar grenade!!!!! Explosive dear Mike !!!!

[@carlsowell8099]

Can't understand why people give thumbs down. Your videos are always informative. Much luck with your videos and searches. Thank You for doing what you do.

[@mygormagr]

Those rings were extra explosive charges placed at the bottom neck of the mortar projectail shell.

[@mikeedwards346]

Yup, very flammable too...will burn up really quickly and intensely.

[@FairladyS130]

Yeh, certainly not fuses, mortar range depends on the number used.

[@Grimoire69]

that is cordite i think, its to give mortar shells more range if needed, its goes on the bottom of the mortar shell

[@tomb2623]

Yes i think you are correct. They do look familiar.

[@FlatRangeOperator]

Thomas Hess can confirm all. I was in the us army infantry as a mortarman. Its true they are for added range depending on how fsr you wanna go.

[@suethomas9446]

I love watching you dig up so much of the past.i bet some of those helmet's we buried with dead soldier's . Thanks love the videos

[@michaelbodger6663]

Excellent find.

[@bryanrotchell1565]

Mike thats a stirep from witch your foot rests in when you are on a hourse , again old 👍👍 fairplay finding them treasures

[@billm1595]

Really interesting , love the videos you make 👍🇬🇧

[@erichaskell]

Always look forward to your videos. Thank you.

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks Eric!

[@hooper4581]

I rode a horse once ... lol ! Horse masks are great 👍 Don’t see them too often

[@gregkerr725]

I think those might be what are called increments for a mortar weapon. Increments were explosive charges/propellant discs that attached to the fins of mortar bombs in order to change how far and high you wanted the mortar bomb to go. I may be wrong, but they look real similar anyway.

[@Russellsagecline]

Those rings are called "Increments", for attaching to mortar rounds.

[@VikingCudaShorts]

Never clicked a video so fast! Good to see you back at it!

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Geez you're fast! :) Thanks Chris.

[@longlivetherebellion7379]

nice finds mike and chris

[@CaspianWint]

Those little rings around the base of the bomb are called increment charges, which can increase or decrease the range depending whether or not the increments are left on or taken off.

[@MrClickbang357]

Great treasure hunting! With those mortar shells you have to dig VETY CAREFULLY!!

[@mikewinings4120]

You rode a horse once,but she told you to leave before breakfast,well done good sir!¡

[@freddymarcel-marcum6831]

I run metal detecting tours in the Czech Republic and there's one place we always go near Kutna Hora, German camp. I always build a fire pit for lunch. Built on accidentally on top of a shell or something, blew a 1m wide hole in the ground and sent everybody's steaks into the trees.

[@seanc.5310]

Absolutely amazing how many incredible artifacts are still there to find! You sir have a new subcriber!

[@tedkreibich8584]

As always great video.... Sir Mike..

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thank you herr Ted!

[@MoisesRodriguez-jg7pn]

Iron... I find your your web ( show ) interesting I was born in 1949 5 years after ww 2 I am now part history enthusiast part time lecturer.I hereby recommend your channel to any one.Keep up your great work.

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thank you Moises! Appreciate it!

[@MikeeVee]

What an awesome find

[@johndodson4527]

Awesum hard work.thank u!

[@AmyPond420]

I love your videos so much you are my favorite man on KZbin! Also thank you for adding the English captions, I really appreciate it

[@warlockcommandcenter]

Two weeks ago I found some about 20 rounds of 1938 7mm Mauser rifle cartridge cases with the Nazi eagle they were just fire in the week before. The quality of the pre War German stuff was excellent still good after 79 years in storage.

[@bobbybrandenburg5418]

Never knew horses had gas mask. Cool.

[@c3pohunter752]

Greetz 👌🏻 Nice Video,but @ 13.20 this Is Not a Seat..... This Is are Rückentragegestell für Feldkabel der Fernmelder. Very interesting. Straight on,good find 💪🏻 Greetz from Brandenburg

[@bigf2222]

The container with the screw cap is a bakelite canister that artillery fuzes came in. They put the mortar charges in it to keep them dry

[@OMARADTR]

You are the best.great video

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

+riku-axel thanks buddy!

[@molehogadventures6615]

Scary to see all the explosives. A fox skull? Great finds.

[@davewood2769]

Good job as always

[@adamlumpkins2000]

Love your stuff Mike!!

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks Adam, glad someone does! :)

[@andrewporter4636]

Exactly,range rings ,the more you add to the mortor the further it will go.Never seen a case like that.Wicked cool, but DANGEROUS the propellant that is.

[@vaughanerwin7195]

Those fuse holder go for $5 at most feamarkets in east germany mostly for 88mm shells you never want to find non german bombs on your own land as you will be billed if they allied or ussr and the boster charges will get a knock at the door by the cops even 1 live bullet can land you in shit & anything from the war you dig up you can't legally keep, found out the hard way in 2018! cops don't need warrents and most of the they take it to resell they are corupt as hell

[@factcheckersbranch]

Thank you for sharing

[@esquad5406]

The cone shape thing is a shipping case for a artillery fuse. The disks are padding for the fuse. The fuse may be for a 82cm mortar or a 45mm to 105mm cannon.

[@sj5843]

I think its a big Problem if you cant speek german language. It is not a zunderbüchse so that you can think it would be something explosive. Zunder was originaly the name of the mushroom who was used in a dryed condition to make a fire. Later ist was/is used for nearly everything which is used to make a fire. It is like a normal dry cloth, Not an explosive. I Know that the word "Büchse" is also a Name for a gun but normaly ist means tin or can. So ist is a tin with something inside to make a little fire for example with Flint and Steel. Sorry if my english is not so good and greetings from Germany

[@micha2901]

Luki Luk no

[@adaptshield3100]

love your vids they're always so interesting good work man

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks! :)

[@whoknows335]

those are called increment charges for a small german mortar.they are flammable,take one outside and burn it,but ignite it carefully

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

GREAT VIDEO ENJOYED GL&HH

[@martinlote7863]

great stuff.

[@TheGnfnrs]

YEEEEES, back in Berlin!!! Hahahahahahaaa fantastic Mike :-D. Regards from Germany

[@MrSchmitty61]

That could be a land mine and your playing with, I would be a little more careful lol

[@johndaut2838]

We used the mortar propellant rings to heat the old C-Rats

[@andrewporter4636]

Stirrup, for your boot ,hangs one on each side of the saddle.Attached to saddle.

[@RangerKooky]

Ty for the share

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

+Ranger Kooky tx for watching!

[@Jarrrob]

The rings are actually propellants for mortar shells.

[@Udowgirl]

I was waiting for the bomb to explode. Love the video though.

[@lc9929]

Then you realized the video wouldn't exist if it did.

[@carolstefan7662]

How interesting!!!!

[@TheFPF422]

Thank you for the phone warning! 😉

[@natashacobbett9028]

maybe is a material to put in a tin pot to cook food or light a lantern

[@MrLotrecht]

"Zunder"is normally a material which is easy to entflame! Maybe something helpfull to make fire? Its Zünder- thats something which lets emplode bigger things...

[@deepfinds]

Thanks heaps for this video! You honestly deserve the like. Here ya go bud

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

+Chixyz nein tx!:-)

[@BG808-]

Those are flammable and explosive rings for mortars

[@micha2901]

No, this is dryed clothing to make a fire with steel or something (i am from Germany and Zunder is not like Zünder) its not explosive

[@whoknows335]

at 4:34 you pulled those rings out,they may be charges that go on the tail of a mortar shell to adjust the range.

[@VikingCudaShorts]

The cloth rings look like replacement headphone padding possibly?

[@Mycarnoises]

arent those some of that celuloid disks to set the time a bomb would blow after it hit the ground?

[@trizlet-]

I wonder if a mortar got deactivated if someone could keep it, would be cool as a decoration after being cleaning up :P

[@Aikaramba12]

Use water instead og steelbrush please ;-) Great video :-)

[@zdenekmarek9599]

I have used 7.62X54R Rounds that have steel cartridge cases.

[@marcelgordijn1400]

nice dutch man

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

+Marcel Gordijn zekers :-)

[@gilsonmeireles6126]

Amazing video mike! Like from Brazil

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Like back from the Netherlands.

[@TheErik12922]

Those cloth rings look like spare wicks for an oil lamp...or I could be totally wrong.

[@MrVinamp]

hit the bakelite tip with a hammer!

[@bowtinbil]

Don't forget to put your fingers in your ears if your watching the hammer fall

[@GermanGunReview]

Mortar shell propellent

[@mercury-nc4tm]

those cloth rolls in the canister - some sort of gas mask filter perhaps?

[@sportclay1]

These are mortar increment charges, explosive. at least they were at one time.

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

what brand of Detector do you use and what did the mortar shells ring up on the numbers

[@matthijswerner387]

Geweldige video! Hoe doe je dat met toestemmingen in Duitsland? Ze zijn daar een stuk strenger of niet.

[@Bumper776]

Those things you said were "mortar shells" looked like German WWII vintage rifle grenades, I doubt they are still explosive but I still cringed when you were throwing them around.

[@Bumper776]

At 8:28 is where I am talking about, not the other mortar.

[@zdenekmarek9599]

Looks like an incompleted starshell part.

[@sirnamenloss4791]

6:23 could be from a canonbarrel so the you can put ammunition in from behind an close it afterwards

[@ekiebeek]

Very professional diggers, tacking stuff home whem you don’t know what you’re dealing with. Mygormagr s almost correct only the charges are not explosive but containes a sot of gunpowder. This gives the mortarround a greater radius. It shoots furter with these rings on te mortartail....

[@DanishWiking41]

Propellant for mortar grenades

[@zeberdee1972]

looks like a parrafin lamp wick

[@hildetoepoel812]

This seems very unlikely. A capsule about 70 years old, buried in the ground, must have eroded. Unless it concerns very high quality material. In addition, it is also very unlikely that a capsule is so easy to open for so long in the ground. In addition, it is very risky to remove an unknown object from the ground in this way.

[@blinblin3267]

Prachtige vondst, ik zou zo graag ook een keer iets cools vinden (super jaloers hahaha), maar helaas blijft het bij mij vooral bij kogelpunten en hulzen :( Toevallig nog tips hoe ik beter kan zoeken naar een zoekplaats? En ik ben van plan om de Rutus alter 71 te kopen, hebben jullie deze weleens gebruikt?

[@Farmeraap]

Tja een goeie zoekplaats houd men graag voor zichzelf, ik ken iemand die al zeker 3 jaar op dezelfde plek in Duitsland zoekt en nog steeds vindt.

[@blinblin3267]

Klopt. Heb al een tijdje geen goeie zoekplek meer gehad, begin het gevoel te krijgen dat 90% in mijn omgeving al opgeruimd is, op gebouwd is of al door anderen zoekers is opgegraven.

[@blinblin3267]

3 jaar zoeken en nog steeds vinden is een hele goeie plek XD zou ik ook goed geheim houden hahaha

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

I want to detect around France and Germany, maybe even Russia. Even if everything I find goes to a museum.

[@maj0072]

Amazing video. We're the mortars disposed off ? I've never seen the horses gas mask found before . Nice find.

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks for watching! Yes the Mortars are reported and dealt with by the proper authorities.

[@Gorkilein]

That was no boar but a young wolf (maybe a dog but I think based on the teeth preferably a wolf). I think you should report it so it can be examined they are researching the wolves there.

[@vylvylvyl8532]

Going on a limp here, it's probably a raccoon.

[@danhard8440]

limb not limp

[@HerrDjango]

Amazing video Mike!

[@danvarga8264]

it's pronounced bake light, because it was baked in the oven to produce, and it was a light weight alternative to ceramic and glass.

[@wadehutchinson1963]

looked like the charge you put at the base of a mortar shell . After watching more of the video i'm pretty sure of it....What are the odds of something 75-80 years old exploding?

[@andyarmes2402]

Those coils are High Explosive !!

[@KB4QAA]

AA: No, they are not explosive. They are flammable propellant and burn at a high rate, but are not explosives, and certainly not high explosives.

[@Not-TheOne]

Like what you are doing but damn, that part of the video at 9:00 and on....made my butt pucker. Being that close to an old, unstable piece of explosive... Amazing, for probably every piece you find, there are still 10 in the ground, thumbsucking, but should be a lot. Wees veilig!

[@landser6435]

The cloth at the begining was a fire starter

[@EmptyShellCasing]

6:05 thats what she said😂😂

[@stefanbuschmann1944]

The "Zunderbuchse" is an early lighter says Wikipedia. They were used from the 1860s to the 1930s...

[@sj5843]

Stefan Buschmann geil wie ein ü alle verwirrt

[@miksal26]

Looks like a fox!

[@francisjohnification]

That’s a badger skull. Eye sockets are too large for a Fox.

[@em-tee-4583]

Opossum skull?

[@sky.9252]

nitocelulose propellent ?

[@SimonWallwork]

Explosive wafers for a morter.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

how deep do your metal detectors scan?

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Depends on the soil (and if the soil is wet or dry) the size of the object and how the object is 'positioned' in the ground. In general: A detector could pick up a German helmet as deep as 1,50 meter. A coin probably as deep as 40 cm.

[@danielallan5058]

I wouldn't have unscrewed that!!...you may have activated explosive,you operate stick grenades in a similar way!!!

[@scottb7444]

That's a stirrup for your foot

[@johndaut2838]

81 mm mortar rounds, I have some demilled
