Do you guys have an ultrasonic cleaner like jewelry shops use to clean delicate pieces. That would clean up those belt buckles.

@17:31 you had that dogtag,It looks to be made of stainless steel.It might be a tag to mark a cabinet or box.The US occasionally uses dogtags to mark equipment and cabinets.

[@adamhoward5145]

Great video with some fantastic finds...well done & thanks for sharing them

[@HarborLockRoad]

I read recently that fallschirmjager erkennungsmarke were usually blank except for their personal number...so if captured or killed, an enemy wouldnt know what unit they were from. That might explain the mostly blank dogtag....you did find alot of luftwaffe stuff in that pit. Also, sometimes , replacement troops didnt get their tag unit stamped. Im sure many paramilitary units like nskk drivers probably had limited stampings on their tags as well.

Hospital would make sense for so many discarded uniform parts, it seems strange there's so much Kreigsmarine there though, are you near a port or some coastal artillery positions?

[@truracer20]

It's from the battle of Berlin most likely. Kreigsmarine were repurposed late war.

[@TobinTwinsHockey]

Greetings from the U.S. Mike. I am sure you have been asked this before but I am curious if you have ever had the opportunity to research the history and/or fate of the soldiers you find dog tags for?

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

I have but German authorities don't hand out information due to very strict privacy laws. So much different than how things work in the US. Tried to report them in the past as well, but German authorities are not interested.

[@ACAdventures]

Hey Mike, Man what should I say, that’s a hole, everybody of us is dreaming from…. That feeling to dig in sich big dump pits… Thanks for sharing and nice side commentary about the history of this place! Btw, the dog tag is a codified one from the Luftwaffe. Greetings AC

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Hi AC! Thanks for dropping by! Well didn't expect to find this much to be honest. Just pure luck I guess. Especially the mixture of relics from different divisions is what made this pit special in my opinion. Luftwaffe, kriegsmarine, wehrmacht and coastal artillery. Did some metal detecting around the pit the day after.. some more oohhs in the next video as well. ;-) Btw, the shiny dogtag is probably from this unit: 51513: (8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 11.1.1944 Schlachterei-Kompanie 4. Fallschirmjager-Division, (23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 26.6.1944 Fallschirm-Schlachterei-Kompanie

[@niekvermeer9221]

Hey Mike, first of all great video again! Realy enjoy your video's. Just a tip you can try next time you find a peace of metal that is bend. Try using a heatgun to warm up the metal, it softens the metal and it reduces the chance of breaking it when you try to bend it back! Good luck with the next searches, can't wait to see where you end up next time!

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Hi Niek, you are right to heat the metal first before bending. But these dogtags are not 100% metal. They are an alloy with some crappy form of Zinc. That zinc stuff doesnt do well in the ground for so long, it tends to corrode. So it will break even if you heat it up first. But thanks for your advice, I appreciate it!

[@niekvermeer9221]

@@IronMikeMetaldetecting aah oke to bad... you're welcome!

[@mikelauzon4786]

Hi from Canada On that dog tag in the war those tags would get put on string past from command to command till they could be properly recorded the very first tag was a tag number for that striing of tags is what i believe the very shinny tag is that u found

[@Hairnicks]

Brilliant as always Mike, do you think this pit was left overs from patients who never made it? Maybe the shiny dog tag was for a patient they couldn't identify so he was just given a record number. Just a thought. Thanks for a wonderful adventure.

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Maybe those who didnt make it, or for what ever reason didn't need it anymore. There is more so maybe one day we'll be able to find out what exactly happened there. Thanks for watching!

[@Hairnicks]

@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Look forward to every Video Mike.

[@corydunaway]

It's my understanding that if they were killed the dog tag was snapped in half. Also, try heating with a torch next time you have to try and bend something without breaking it. It usually helps

[@johannesschmidt8830]

Hallo Iron Mike sehr schöne dinge die du gefunden hast , aber sehr schöne Musik ab 25:19 wer ist das?

The shiny dogtag is probably a Fallschirmjager one!

it probably is! So far found this on it (other digger tipped me about it.) Feldpost 51513 (8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 11.1.1944 Schlachterei-Kompanie 4. Fallschirmjager-Division, (23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 26.6.1944 Fallschirm-Schlachterei-Kompanie

[@wolvesone]

I know its an old video and not of help for this one but what if you tried heating up bent tags like that to slightly soften the metal so it can bend back with out snapping?

[@bobkrohn8053]

Looks like a lot of Navy stuff. Even the shoulder straps are probably Navy as they have the pointed end, where the Army stopped using that shape at the beginning of WWII and used rounded ends. Where you near the ocean?
