WW2 Detecting: German soldier was fed up with the swastika

[@RSxLime]

Hey. I have been subscribed for maybe one year now. I occasionally like to watch you and your war findings in-particular as I've always been intrigued by ww1 & ww2 ever since I was young. Keep it up man. It's amazing what you can find buried under soil. It really is amazing.

[@daniellepetulla6976]

This is so cool! I am a history teacher who just moved to Europe, and honestly (stupid of me) it never occurred to me that people go back to these places and find these amazing, brief moments of personal history. Your videos are great!

[@danweiss1371]

Hi Mike it’s good to see your boys out with you!!! I live in a state that only had Native American/Indians wars so we get our world war metal detecting through you Mike. Another great video. Plus the weather here in Michigan has been extremely cold this winter so no metal detecting till spring. So watching yours is our fix for 6 inches of frost outside. Thanks Mike appreciate it

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks Dan, glad you like the vids. Comments like yours keeps me going. Hang in there! It’ll be spring soon.

[@crosscountryoutdoors2472]

Keep the videos coming! You are appreciated. I can’t travel great distances to metal detect, but enjoy being there with you! Thanks

[@mattperrin8372]

Another great video Mike. Some more cool things dug up by your group. The flasks looked like they were in a natural spring with all that water in the hole.

[@Onlytheclouds]

Been a subscriber for a while Mike. Your videos are always pretty cool man. Keep on digging. Pretty crazy how people are still uncovering this stuff in 2018. Cheers from Dave in Canada.

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Cheers Dave!

At 9:15 - this is a US artillery box plate/marking that says: 6 CHARGES FNH SMK PDR M1 (smoke shell from 155MM Howitzer M1). Further below on the right (your plate is missing this section) it would specify the color of the smoke.

[@angelalynch1462]

Love the new camera, great job. Carry on comrade.

[@rickreid81]

Thank u for sharing another great video. I really appreciate it. Since I will never get to see Germany in person probley. Or other places in the world. I must watch your videos and read about WW2. Again thank you for your time! Happy to be subscribed!!

[@historyhunter3289]

The aluminum plate is US, and it goes to 105 or 155mm Howitzer artillery. SMK stands for smoke. Amazing finds, truly stunning! Genoten van je video!

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

that makes it a brilliant find. Thanks for helping me out!

[@TS-bn7zt]

Great video Mike, I enjoy your channel a lot. Your yourself in front of the camera and don't put an act on like a lot of people on u tube . So make some time and get out there and make more great videos. Thanks Mike and hope to see you here soon!!

[@moonbear1st]

great video thanks for shareing and well done for trying to locate the dog tag owner,those bottles looked old and a great find keep up the good work bud...

[@kazper765]

Nice hat! ; ) Cheers from Canada, love your channel.

[@metaldetecting1838]

Nice Video buddy, good to see you in action.😊 🖒 Nice finds!! Greetings T.

[@molehogadventures6615]

The real heavy thing is a stator from an electronic motor all the copper on there should be worth something. Also called windings.

[@MrBoydheeres]

I thinks it is called a rotor, but you appear to be on the right track. www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/rotor-electric-motor-closeup-isolated-on-470500712

[@ImTheJoker4u]

The stator is the part that goes around the rotor, which spins. The stator "stays", the rotor "rotates". The size of that rotor suggests it was for moving something large.

[@molehogadventures6615]

John Ulicky I knew it was one or the other. Thanks.

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks guys!

[@blackdogexcavator21]

We call it an armature. Probably from a starter motor.

[@arjanberendsen2988]

Thanks for the great video Mike! Keep up the good work! 🤙🏽

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks Arjan, I will! Groet, Mike

[@deGer67ste]

Good finds ... thumbs up and greetings from Vienna 👍👍

[@adamlumpkins2000]

Mike I would love to detect with you one day!!! I am such a WW1 and WW2 history buff! Good job as always

[@TehAlekzi]

That's cool stuff you're finding there. This got me wondering what you could find up here in Finland, probably would have to go near the eastern border to find anything WWII/Winter War related stuff.

[@Ржавыеликивойны]

As always interesting! Thank you for the video!

[@colehenriques8736]

I love the videos I wish I could do what you guys go do I love history and I like you hat much love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@ZUGSTEINER]

Hey Mike, interesting video and nice finds. I have find the same wound badge last friday and i was mega happy ;) regards ZUG STEINER

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Hi Zug Steiner, thanks for your comment. Have some catching up to do with your videos! Congrats on finding the verwundetenabzeichen!

[@SidneyPenido]

The soldier that owned these decorations was certainly a brave. Wound badge in black and an Infantry assault badge! Very courageous!

[@TS-bn7zt]

Hi Mike, are you planning any trips soon? I always enjoy your videos. Take care and hope to see you here soon.

[@michaelpurvis1492]

[@astra47420]

Brilliant suff keep them coming

[@michaelnight111]

nice finds mike. how do you clean iron crosses?

[@kirkdevore2454]

Love your videos as a history guy i appreciate the relics and every item is a time capsule in itself. Since my grandfather was a paratrooper always dreamed of coming there and do a little detecting. Any suggestions on how someone could make a trip out of it?

[@TheBrataccas]

9:25 says SMK (SMOKE?) PDR (lb?? poundage? ) off a mortar or some ordinance firing thing...

[@marystotts1939]

Always fun to watch. 😊

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Thanks Mary for dropping by.

[@TheGnfnrs]

Nice Finds! Concrats!

[@TheKuhaPoika]

Can you recommend any metaldetectors for newbie starter from garrets or any other good?:)

[@IronMikeMetaldetecting]

Yes they are. Really like the 250 (ace). Very good starters detector. Know some experienced diggers that use it for years. It has a good depth and its very easy to learn.

[@ww2historyfinderl587]

Another Nice video with great finds hope u make them next time Succes met zoeken

[@Lorexbg]

[@dalebainer3846]

the belt buckle was cool "god with us"

[@SidneyPenido]

This was the standard writing on WWII german belt buckles, but with the swastika on it, of course.

[@Outaboutdetecting]

Cool video, just subscribed.

[@witjakowalski4004]

Odznaka szturmowa i za rany piękne. Pozdrawiam 👍

[@mettahuttravels3183]

I Mike, I think that blue tube you broke with your shovel was a brand of toothpaste called Ipana which rivals Colgate toothpaste.

[@PerryBobKelly]

What’s an armature on a vehicles starter

[@fizzykitten3208]

You are awesome and amazing and cool love your videos 😎😎😎

[@johnpitzer5500]

the heavy thing is called an armature, it's the innards of an electric motor, it's has copper wore on it called windings, that create a magnetic field within the motor

[@suethomas9446]

That small com was lice comb ..someone had lice. Thanks for the videos love them. From the us. I also metal detect

[@fairlane2020]

You’re second find is an armiture, That particular one that you are holding appears to be out of a starter motor

[@chandlerM1999]

My great grandpa was in the Wehrmacht Afrika Korps and my father wears his almost brand new looking wedding ring and we have the other cheaper ring he wore in combat that is worn.

[@ak47kalasjnikov7]

De. camera is echt mooi

[@jonlennon3348]

[@Oomuu]

Another great video

[@tunneldweller3667]

[@MrLukekiller17]

[@berend1301]

Jammer dat je niet veel video's maakt

[@rickbenik2214]

Transmissie van een auto ❔😕

[@adamlumpkins2000]

Looks like that might be an Armature to a starter that shop coming out of their look at that and see if it looks like it one time it would be pushed in but was Grandma Vehicles you turn the switch on and then to the left side of your foot there is a button that you press down on that push that Rod into that are mature that made it turn over to start it was not that there is an Armature starter starter for an Armature

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

Hi mike. I am from the US and was wondering if you would sell me some US shell casings if you have? 50 cal M1 Gerand or 30 carbine?

[@francisjohnification]

1970 olds442 Hi. I am currently in northern France. I am quite happy to give you a selection of cases from Omaha beach as I have plenty. Postage could be a problem though. If you are interested please get in touch. I will respond when back in uk. Next few days. Kind regards. Francis.

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

francisjohnification i would love to have some. How can i get you the postage money. Thank you so much

[@francisjohnification]

1970 olds442 Hi again. If you can send me an email address we can arrange something. 'Postage problem' not related to cost. I'm not sure how customs react. It appears things are a little over cautious in The States currently. Do you have friends/relatives that visit U.K.? That would probably be easier. I'm sure we can arrange something. Kind regards from U.K. 👍🏻

Whut echt next video misschien shoutout

[@jaybell2401]

From most of these videos I've seen, nobody has a clue on anything they find. Have you done any kind of research on ww2 German anything? I know people who would tell you it's junk and walk off with it and make some killer cash.
