Left behind by Hitler's Arctic army: a pit filled with German WW2 relics.

Last day of our trip to the most Northern parts of Norway. The day started out slow until my friend René came across a big pit filled with relics, left behind by the German during World War 2. Like opening a time capsule, these 'dump pits' never get bored. Many awesome things came out like a German WWII motorcycle license plate, personal items, a dog tag and much more!
Big thank you to @Garrett_metaldetectors to send me out a prototype Vortex to try out. What a great detector! Loved swinging that thing around!

FAQ:
-Do you report things found to the authorities?
Yes, all nasty things found like UXO's and finds that could be important from an archaeology perspective are reported to the local authorities.
-Do you sell finds?
I am a collector myself so I hardly sell relics. But if I do then I'll post it on the social media pages or check out my Patron's website. I share finds with my Patrons (check the Patreon website for more details).
-How do you gain permission for metal detecting?
Check out local laws regarding metal detecting and get permission from the landowner. Or hook up with a local metal detecting club in the area you would like to detect and get your information from them. (I stopped responding to questions like this all together, I'm Iron Mike not Google Mike..)
-Can I come with you?
No.
-Do you love me?
Yes I do!
-Will you marry me?
No, lets just be friends.
-I want to see more!
Go check out the social media pages, or consider becoming a Patron! Patrons have access to much more, special videos, behind the scenes footage and WW2 goodie boxes containing relics me and my friends found over the years.
-What metal detector do you use?
The Garrett Ace Apex, AT Max and the Garrett Vortex.
-Camera?
Go Pro 7, Go Pro 10 and a Sony handy cam
-Favorite find?
Deep Digger Dan's KZbin channel.
-What is on your bucket list?
Hitler's lost gold or the missing Nazi gold train everybody is searching for. But until then I am happy with whatever pops up, I even enjoy finding landmines... :-s

Awesome finds Gentlemen, who know what maybe in the area, the Ring is not something I have seen , nice dog tag can't wait until your next video.

[@alanslade2319]

Just watched this and love the history and world war 2 relics, so I've subscribed to your channel and looking forward to catching up. See you soon, Alan 💯🍻🇬🇧👍

[@lisa01ism]

Well done to you and the team with the amazing finds, the one thing I do wonder about is the dog tag, was it just thrown in the pit or do you believe that you may have found another fallen soldier in or around those parts, will you be going back?. It truly ceases to amaze me how so many items are all within a few inches of the top soil, it is just an amazing part of history even though it is nearly 80+ years since. Stay safe guys and I cannot wait to see more from all of you x Lisa

[@กาญจน์ชรินดํารงรัตนหิรัณย์]

Instead of Europa why dont you plan a dig in Egypt or Tunisia ~ I’m sure the desert still has many secrets. 😮

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

[@douglasbrock1134]

Great finds way up north. How do you guys decide who is keeping what finds? Or do y'all play cards to decide. Excellent adventure.

[@kekkiedrek]

Woooooohooooo lets go!!!

[@michele5327]

Great video. Excellent finds. Hope mosquitoes didn't eat you alive! Cheers from Florida

[@adventurehawksancientharmony]

The MG 15 had the highest rate of fire for any machine gun during World War II

[@garage3119]

Mg42 rate of fire was 450 rpm faster than mg15.

[@bobkirk942]

Great finds !!! I need to buy the garrett vortex , in still using the garrett at pro 😂

[@dianezielaznicki9799]

Good luck in your finds!

[@vinylvishrecords]

I thought I was hearing things in the beginning, I thought it was Techno Viking..haaaa

[@westernfront_battlefields4531]

24:03 that’s the other part from your torch. Used for vehicles

[@j.dragon651]

You have the dog tag. Was that the soldiers serial number on it? Is there anyway of finding out who it belonged to? That was and odd collection of artifacts, I wonder why some of them were there? The horn for one? Fighting a war is tough enough without carrying a horn around with you.

[@malcolmmoodie6512]

The ring and dog tag mean there is a body nearby

[@stefanstarzynski684]

Hallo was für ein metalldetektor nimmst du

[@olafhoof5210]

Das erste ist der Deckel eines Essgeschirrs .

[@Azphreal]

The British water bottle is blue because it was enamelled to prevent corrosion.

[@hellomcflyy]

what did you use on the license plate...looks like citric acid - try oxalic acid....it's way better..I've dug up completely brown rusted tins that have cleaned up sometimes pretty well

[@JeRKII]

You guys had some amazing finds. Is there any value to any of it or is it only worth something to the finders ? Also went to Garrett's web site to look at the new detector $ and looked at the comments and pretty sure I read yours. You should do a video of the model as there are now 2 of that style and what you think of it ( the good and bad for you ). I noticed they are programmable

[@gwalarnbzh6436]

L'enfouissement de leurs équipements devait être assez courant, un cultivateur près de chez moi m'a raconté que les Allemands en partant de chez lui en 1944 avaient enterré leurs matériels dans son champ et qu'il avait crevé à plusieurs reprises à cause des pelles restées sur place.

[@thomasschwalger7580]

Schöne Funde Jungs.Macht weiter so.

[@renatofrasson7813]

Hello, can you ask me a question? What is the law in Europe for objects of war found today (guns, bombs and precious metals)?

[@kickinkaren478]

When did dog tags start being used? Did the Soviets use them?

[@HamzehTapanjeh]

Do you sell the artifacts you find?

[@salvatorerizzottolo5062]

Ottimi recuperi 😊

[@davidwacker1925]

Your English is very good, I don't need subs.

[@PaulLorenzini-ny2yw]

Funny how the WW2 Germans with the help of IBM thought everyone deserved a serial number.....kind of like Big Tech of the old days.

[@ФазильИбрасов]

Спасибо за видео камрад! Удачи тебе от камрадов из России🤝👋

[@BIGV710]

put the old coins in a glass of coke cola and leave for a while and all the dirt will come off

Why are rocks on top of the finds

[@sapperlex]

love what you guys all do Mike. Keep it up maybe Axe or Halberd
