The rusty item at 13:46 looks like a cast iron inline engine block that’s upside down. Probably a little too big for the ROV to lift though lol.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

That could be it and yes that would be to tough for it. Thanks

[@alfredsletten7380]

I was thinking an engine manifold

[@davidschwartz5127]

could the ROV carry a hook down there with a line on it and you could hook it and pull it up, that looked interesting to me also.

[@amandahanson8188]

My immediate thoughts were that it was an engine block too,upside-down with the crank journals exposed. It may have had a cracked block or bad cylinders or even a thrown rod through the side to warrant dumping it the way they did. I would love to know what it originally came from but thats the old car fanatic in me talking.

[@wigglewiggle3789]

It is stinking hot where I live, but watching you shiver made me feel cold. I feel like I am watching a video game when you break out the underwater ROV, and I am making hand and head gestures everytime you try to grab something with it. I must look like I am having a fit. Haha. The stress of 'will he get it or not', is maddening. It must be a nightmare for you. Love it. Awesome vid. Take care brother.

[@anthonyroberts7718]

I keep telling you this and you may not remember me with so many supporters you have, I am amazed every time you recover a plate. It’s mind blowing to me that complete plates, bowls and cups are just laying out there. Am just amazed seeing them. Your so lucky to have companies that support you and your channel with such great equipment to do all these exploration. You did a great job operating the ROV in these conditions. While the ice on top of the water probably stop the waves on top, did it increase the current under the water? Am sure operating an underwater ROV is more difficult than it looks. I enjoy your channel so much.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes there are actually quite a few around and once we found more than 10 at one location. Thanks and greetings from us.

[@paulhoffman6371]

HH, an additional modification idea: Grip pads on the armature for stronger more slip-resistant grabs. Oh, and LOL, a good pair of thermal touch-sensitive gloves.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i have some rubber glue o there already and seems to work fine :) Thanks Paul

[@robertdraper7258]

If they had a limited pivot point around Center of the grab pass then they will allow for different size items, rubber grab pads would definitely improve the hold ability. Great idea to add that feature to your ROV! I almost cried when you said that the bottle had fallen off, but the plate certainly made up for freezing out there that day. Thanks for taking us on an underwater adventure!

I have to say that one of my favourite/favorite WW2 Historical sites are the ones with the Luftwaffe connection. Couldn't believe my eyes when you lucked upon the 1941 German Luftwaffe Plate. What can I say, it's exquisite! You did an terrific job of cleaning it up. A lot of elbow grease was involved. What a beauty! Looking forward to the other secret item you found there. I am very anxious to see the video on the submarine harbour/harbor, in part because of your history as an ex submarine helmsman HH.

Have you thought of putting tool grip on the claw of the grabber. It's a rubber coating that will give your grabber a bit more grip. Glass probably won't slip out as fast. Who knows it may stop things from slipping out of the grip. Just a afterthought.

[@2Jim2u]

Good idea and try. Limitations are the strength of that little ROVs jaws and the pulling power of the fan blades. The issue I see you having is that you need to have object within jaws of grapple to disconnect after grabbing, said object and having a separate line to itself, thereby allowing you to lift free of ROV. ROV should only be a means to get whatever you're using as a means to clamp around object to the object itself, including separate rope.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

You know , you just got a a good idea and i will work on something here. Thanks Jim.

[@bikerleo1966]

Use some bicycle tyre rubber on your grabber . Also if you paint a long pole with a color like yellow you will be able to turn and see where your hole is easier , and wear scuba gloves :-).The cord you moved and dropped could have been a WW2 aircraft sparkplug cable.

Great video, many thanks! Can you, please, tell me how much time Fifish V6 will be able to work at very low temperatures (2-12 degrees Celsius, 6 degrees Celsius on average). We plan to work in coastal marine waters from boat at 10-20 meters depth, 1-2 knots speed, with episodic photo and video shooting and taking measurements with laser pointer. Going to use "Distance control" feature to keep constant distance from bottom. Manufacturer advertises "run the underwater drone up to 3 knots for up to 4 hours on one single charge". I suspect for cold waters operating time and workload outlined above operating time will decrease to as little as 1 hour. Am I right on that? Motors and Battery Maintenance Guide by Qysea explains that operator needs to soak and clean V6 with clean fresh water after every dive. We can not do this cleaning on our small boat unfortunately. So we will have to return to land base station to clean V6 with fresh water. And only after this cleaning, as Qysea documentation explains, we can recharge battery. This makes our survey very inefficient: 1 (?) hour ROV operation - run to land base station - clean - recharge - back to survey where we left - another 1 (?) hour ROV operation - .... Can you, please, correct me I am wrong with all these assumptions. Are there any workarounds to increase survey productivity (ROV operation time per day). Thanks!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

in my experience the fifish v6s will run at least 3 hours in cold water , at least. you can charge in any state you like. Soaking is to prevent thrusters from accumulating salt particles that can jam / freeze any type of underwater thruster. the uit is a impressive tool if you ask me. Thanks

that's a great fun device and I'm glad to see how you've modified the grippers, they look easy to work with so more mods should be pretty easy as you see fit to make them,it seems like it definitely needs more powerful motors to recover heavy stuff though, hopefully they have upgraded stronger thrusters for the future.bundle up toasty warm and be safe out there on the ice!!!!! we have these chemical hand warmers here in the US, hopefully you can get them at a hunting or sporting gear store locally.if you're unfamiliar with them their multi layer plastic bags with a fast acting heating element of chemicals,you pop one of the small bags inside of another activating the heater for a few hours.you can put it in your gloves,pockets,socks for instant heat,they work fantastic!!!or you can get some hunting socks that are battery powered.thanks again!!!!

Hi. Great video. One suggestion for your next underwater adventure. Have you ever thought of using a mesh bag (similar to a fishing net) to gather and haul to the surface using muscle power rather than battery power? Some kind of webbed carrying sack, tied with paracord, sitting on the sea floor. As you collect your treasures into the weighted bag, you can haul to the surface many items rather than one item at a time. This method was, or is, used by deep sea treasure hunters to maximize time and effort in the water allowing for the use of arm strength to bring multiple items to the surface. In a similar vain, have you considered a tethered grappling hook, dropped into place by your ROV/UAV? It is easy for me to "armchair quarterback", sitting indoors with a hot cup of coffee and dry socks, but I have had the occasion to go ice fishing and know what it is like to have wet hands at -10C or -20C. These suggestions may be too ambitious and too cumbersome, but they are food for thought. Good luck on your next adventure.

There are more there and we are going to get it :) Thanks

[@WhiteBoy1981]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jameshigginbotham3639]

Great find...maybe put some thin rubber pads on the end of the grabber.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i have put on some rubber glue and it seems to work ok but going to work more to it.Thanks James :)

[@pauldavis9303]

I don’t know why but found the scene of grabbing the plate to be compelling. Felt like I was there with you.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Very glad to read that my friend and greetings from us.

That is great. I have some advice for you. My dad and I did a lot of ice fishing. We had a Eskimo ice fishing shanty it tent on a sled. They work great. It could be -10 f and we would be in our shirts fishing. We had a portable heater but it was a two head heater that got really hot. They work great. All you do is make your holes and set the tent up next to it and stand the tent up and there was a overhang that would cover the holes and you could pack snow around the gap and fire up the heater and it was as warm as pie in a few minutes. I used the return address to find a sporting goods store so I could find one for you but I didn't have any luck. I don't know what they are called in your neck of the woods. You can find them for $50 used here in the USA. It would make it warm enough for you and EE to go out and spend all day on the ice. I don't know if that is something you would be interested in. I can Email you the information and prices here 8n the USA. Im sure they are going to be close to the same price. You could look up ice fishing on youtube and see what I'm talking about. If you think it's something that you can use and want one I think I could order one for you. Another thing is if your outside and you hole keeps icing over you can spray paint a piece of cardboard flat black and it will absorb the heat from the sun and help keep your ice hole clear longer. Just lete know if you could use one. I would like to help and you don't have to freeze your hands off staying warm. You can get gloves that use the charcoal heaters in them to help keep your hands warm. Same with six. They have them for your feet also. I know a lot about winter survival from Boyscouts. We would go camping in minus 0 weather at least once a year. There are so many trucks to keep warm. You don't need to torture yourself to bring us these wonderful videos. If I can help you out so your not miserable in the cold I will help. 8m sure your not a dummy when it comes to the cold weather. 8m sure the military taught you some things I don't know about. I'm always wanting to learn. Happy History Hunting.😁

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Not a bad idea at all as we are going to some pretty cold and harsh locations if all goes well. Will look into that and i have actually got a smaller gas oven which saved my day there :9 Thanks my friend , stay safe and greetings from us.

[@michaelfederman3067]

Was there an Airfield nearby? How did they dump these items by boat or a dock or from bomb bay doors ?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i cant explain how all i know is that it is there. Thanks for watching.

[@709stef]

I just started to watch the video and already liked and commenting because I know it's going to be awesome just like all your other videos!! I wish I could go with you and experience it for myself, being able to see and touch the artifacts but unfortunately I'm in Canada 😭 but hey... you mentioned before that you're a single dad and I'm a single mom do you want a Canadian wifey? Hahaha Keep making awesome videos Thanks!!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

It is actually a great feeling being out there and exploring. I just love it. Thanks for taking tie to comment and watch Stef. Greetings from us.

[@Martin-rc4iy]

Hi HH Outstanding video, outstanding rescue of the dish, Hope you’ve thawed out ok Cheers

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes I did and glad for that :) thanks Martin :)

[@guffylips976]

Looks like crab under rock at 14.12 -14.18 also the cable leads to long straight edge at 15.00 might be rock ledge ,but can,t quite get the depth of it. Nice video.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

interesting and thanks for comment and for watching.

[@brendancollins6097]

Try a fisherman’s landing net on a rope. Leave on bottom and drop stuff into it to pull up by hand. Love your work.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Got some more ideas we are going to try so time will tell. Thanks for comment and for watching.

[@carstenschaffer4791]

have you already tested the chasing m2? I think the device is very interesting.i fluctuate between the fifish v6s and the chasing m2

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes i have and the Fifish V6S is for us more suitable. More compact , in my opinion better handling and to be honest less issues running it. Thanks

[@whoknows335]

maybe consider using a mesh basket lowered to the bottom opposite the rov,so you have more bottom time

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We are working on more solutions. Thanks

[@Frazorg]

I volunteer at a Ww2 museum in Scotland (Montrose Air heritage museum) and I know someone who found a RAF plate under the ground in a rubbish pit and then when he was walking back he dropped it on the concrete taxi way and it smashed into about 132 pieces. And the plate used to belong to the station commander.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There you go and thanks for watching.

[@Frazorg]

Yes truly tragic.

[@lorelebeverland5585]

What a great recovery. Great episode.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Lorele and very glad you liked it :)
