[@philais]

Hilts931 Jeeze! What is happening to us!!!?

[@MrMovethehouse]

***** that coin you did find @ 17:00 its a World war 2 coin of vichy france. The coins date from 1942 to 1944.

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

at 2:40, it is a reflector lens for a vehicle, i'd say tractor, but could be a ww2 type..

[@seawalrus916]

Best metel detecter on youtube!

[@Billofthenorth1]

Have you ever thought of getting old photos from the property owners and doing a then and now comparison? It could be quite interesting especially for locations where some historic events or gatherings took place...if they were photographed.

[@swedlink420]

"Would've slept with it tonight!" HAHAHA Almost shot coffee out my nose when you said that Dan! Keep up the good work! Watch your vids regularly and always enjoy them! Cheers from NB Canada!

[@Betharoot]

The "column" on the back of the button you found is called a shank. It's mostly used on thicker fabric, so when the button passes through the button hole, the button sits nicely on top. The shank can also be made from thread when the button is sewed on, but they are not as durable. Hope this helps.

[@DailyDrivenJDM]

I'd just like to thank you Dan, you got me interested in metal detecting! I've watched nearly all of your videos and I love seeing you dig up military relics from the Second World War! I have even gone out into farmers fields and such in the area I live and found some pretty neat items! I'm proud to say that I am soon uploading my first two metal detecting videos! One day I would like to metal detect in Europe like you do and find all sorts of relics from WWII, as I have huge interests in that time period. But again, thank you for introducing me to the metal detecting world, Cheers! -Alex

[@morcabus8256]

Really enjoying the Normandy videos, Dan! Keep it up!

[@TwinFlameProphecies]

Yay! A new video! I`m watching it right now in my studio while I`m tattoing my customer :) I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! You're great :) Love from Quebec, Canada!

[@TwinFlameProphecies]

LOL my needles are made of soft feathers that tickle your skin delicately ;) PLEASE keep making videos! and if you ever want to come to Canada you're always welcome! I do metal detecting too! :D

[@johnlord8337]

Question. You have all these large areas to scan. Here in States, we have a person with small lawn tractor hauling a 3-4 foot wide metal detection scanner for meteors. He just runs the entire acreage in strips, and listens for beeps, then digs down and gets his finds. Any options for you having a smaller detector on a rolling little red wagon, or such device?

[@neilhaynes7634]

Another great video dan as always, keep up the good work mate

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

great video Dan, that medallion/religious thing at 15:15 I found the same in France one year. 50 France coins in the 1800's were made of gold!!! hope you get one on the next dig over there. Paul

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

***** Am very good mate, I found a 50 Franc coin in France a few years ago and was gutted to see it wasn't made of anything nice

[@Diggerww2]

Very amusing video,enjoyed it Thanks Dan ! , keep up the good work and good Luck !

[@terrystover7365]

Dan, I enjoy your videos....all of them and you make me chuckle every so often. You are a unique individual; very funny. That's not to say you're not very knowledgeable. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@XRayCam]

Item at 3:31 might be a radio tube inside a metal housing (tip would be glass).

[@vincenttristantfrance4017]

6:40 : 50 francs from 1953 with national curenncy and two national symbol : "Marianne" and the gallic rooster 10:27 : search the camouflaged beer bottle 14:36 : french coin with Napoléon III and the imperial eagle

[@High_Caliber]

Most excellent vid as usual Danny. Cheers!

[@SergisNice]

As always, a great video. Great finds

[@electricwheels411]

Some kool finds from that site Dan and I see a lot of the coins you have found are similar to what I have been getting when buying in bulk loads for my collection :-) cracking hunt and once all that modern scrap has come off the older finds will start to show like I have found on my new site I have been detecting recently :-D GL & HH

[@ryantelford9817]

@DeepDiggerDan am I still able to purchase the packs with the Russian and German bullets in ? Please reply asap as I would love to buy one :)

[@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming]

I think its Ben Franklin on the medal.

[@chew2elah]

Another great video Dan. Thank you.

[@andrewspencer4843]

I’ve really got to get out with my detector. Just not sure who to approach to get access to sites. I live not far from Nantwich in Cheshire so plenty of civil war finds to be had!

[@mynameis9057]

that medallion or pendant could easily have been any of our founding fathers in America. Benjamin Franklin was HUGE! rock star famous in France during the 1700s, while the colonies fought for independence from England. he was over there alot,and we where considered inspirational fighting the British, and they loved that,so our founding fathers where held in high esteem back then.when George Washington died,there where commemorative coins made for his passing,which could easily be him,or Benjamin Franklin.i can see that having been taken over there considering his/their celebrity in those times.cheers

[@mikeg2159]

Cmon get in! Love the vids Dan ! Wish I was there detecting with ya!

[@mikeg2159]

No problem buddy, you've inspired me with all your vids I wanna be like you Dan and explore and detect the world!

[@markbaranowski5368]

What a run of great finds! Any glass?

[@Astronomy_Enjoyer]

Do you recover the holes so you don't make the farm look like its just been hit by loads of meteorites?

[@thesuitison]

hi Dan me and friend on mine is look to do some metal detecting in France could you tell me if you need a licence or a permanent to do what you do in your videos

[@riddleysheehan6022]

Do you sell your finds, because if you do i'm interested.

[@McBadger77]

actually amazing how many buckles and buttons are found

[@XP.Deus.II.2024]

A solid 33 on the XP Deus whoehoe. Hahaha nice video. Which program are you using Dan?

[@jkoelj]

i have a lot of those spoon handles noone appear to be full i have like 6 of them they are exactly like yours except the designes are different but some are the same.

[@freddieeatsgoldcoins]

Hi Dan, Nice french coin...nice find...good video..cheers,G;)

[@cogidubnus1953]

Im afraid the franc was devalued back in 1949 so that by the time that 50 franc coin was minted the franc was running at about 1000 to the pound...making the equivalent UK value about a shilling (5p in decimal currency)

[@mondoprime]

Have you ever been caught short and followed through when out metal detecting?

[@SIG442]

15:42 That is a fork handle, not a spoon. For the age, I think it is 1700's/1800's. So it is actually pretty old. 17:20 Looks like a 5 Francs coin 21:19 That thing was already broken, that break seems to be old. It may be the reason why it was thrown away in the first place. Looks like a naked woman on there or something. Can't tell for sure though.

[@TheHazza118]

For candles! Not fork handles!

[@henrysavage1342]

I always wonder how some of these things end up in fields. Do people just go for stroles and don't notice their belts or buttons fall off? And who drops spoons?

[@nikolasc5467]

Henry Savage Well, sometimes a soldier might be killed in action...very gruesomely, and so parts of uniform, buttons, medals, etc will be thrown everywhere. Too much stuff to pick up, so then it gets buried for 70 years until Dan finds it. It's really crazy cool if you think about it

[@qliz]

I am no expert but i think bodies are cleaned up. Maybe

[@notwocdivad]

RedditRobot Bodies and bits of bodies yes, but all the other stuff, unless it is dangerous or hidden no. As you will know in an explosion earth is thrown upwards perhaps it comes down and initially covers these finds? That is my theory anyway.

[@tankerjoe]

I have one of those aluminum coins from the forties my great-grandfather brought a few back from France in wwii

[@gadgetgamers5284]

What is a good starter metal detector?

[@metaldetectingusa7266]

Bounty hunter pioneer 505

[@thomascampbell4601]

It doesn't get much older than that unless it's older....... I needed a laugh during breakfast.... Thank you Dan! Come on get in! Happy and safe Hunting!!!

[@thomascampbell4601]

Thanks for putting them up for us to watch!!! I have bought a hunter.....when I get it going good I'll send you some footage of my finds!

[@paramedio8671]

Another awesome video from Dan! But seriously you need camera that has autofocus...

[@HobbyCache]

Fantastic digs Dan

[@salamandastron90]

I bet that dude's drinking tea.

[@gadgetgamers5284]

What metal detector do you use?

[@Noot64]

Hey Dan,why are you searching with a regular detector, if i had permission over there i'd shurely use the tm or the gemini, maybe a vallon, go Deeper Dan!!

[@Loa...ding...]

Just about to go to a beach for a family picknic, wasn't goin to bring my metal detector till I watched this. Now I'm excited to try and find my first ring!

[@Loa...ding...]

Found a 2010 penny. That was my best find. Maybe i need to try a more populated part of the beach next time lol.

[@Noast75]

It kinda looked like George Washington on that medallion.

[@derpmandaniel1260]

Thts what I thought

[@4funxMaddogx]

Noast75 I hate when he says he willl put up a picture but he never does. :(

[@Noast75]

I dont hate it, but it would be nice to get a closer and clearer look.

[@johannjohansson9568]

Noast75 same

[@PlanetZelka]

Noast75 I saw Carrot Top

[@timbrennenstuhl6979]

The First think was a Reflektor from m4 Sherman Tank

[@MrDiscoBus]

Tim Brennenstuhl or a Traktor or Bycicle or Motorcycle or Jeep

[@dion2700]

What is that metal bird (intro 0:24)

[@dion2700]

I have it to

[@dion2700]

What is the price of it

[@ttjnaylor7501]

Thanks Dan.

[@MrSoulreaper1234]

love your videos mate

[@randyclark7154]

Thomas Jefferson...I think he spent some time there.

[@psychorider46]

where do you get permission from to go detecting in france ?

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

at 6:34, grommet from a tarp, could be ww2 military..

[@katana2665]

Pretty funny Dan. I don't think the 'medallion' is George Washington. The head shape looks wrong and he is usually engraved with a ponytail and ribbon. I actually think it came from a ribbon, but haven't been able to identify my hunch.

[@locouk]

Nice one Dan, that medal must be mine.. It has my birthday on it.. Ok, the years is a bit off lol. Get in!

[@locouk]

***** You can get me a Garrett Carrot if you really want Dan, but really.. There's no need!

[@neilrobinson2624]

"OOO ITS THICK ITS BIG ITS HARD" -deep digger dan

[@charliegreer4507]

I believe the thing you thought was a bullet was actually a German army whistle used by officers during WWII

[@dishonoredscringe8330]

Great video dan keep it up :)

[@fikretamirbayli3674]

7:50 it's big, it's thick, and it's hard :

Old pewter has allot of lead in it so you really don't want to eat out of it or with it...

[@viddobrisek6953]

17.15 Isnt that a vichy ww2 coin?

[@elilederberger4057]

***** you missed a coin at 9:29 amongst the pile you dug out. Bottom right of the screen.

[@bluejukebox3096]

I was metal detecting in Ireland and I found a 1939 helmet whit king henry I think 1800s

[@5153flash]

You made up a new word. Alumi-ni-mi-um!!

[@DjGlenJon]

opening musics changed....now i cant sing along... :(

[@geoffshaw8053]

Your spoon had a bullet hole in it. Hope it wasn't in someones pocket at the time!

[@cartersmith4497]

I have had like 3 to 4 holes right next to each other

[@dougleandmaize16]

Why don't you carry a small water bottle with you to wash your finds with to show more detail.

[@koningbolo4700]

Why isn't he followed by a drinks and snacks cart?

[@slurpx524]

3:30 it's a mini bomb. Soldiers would throw them at each other like children throw those fireworks called "snappers". Don't listen to me. My mouth has been known to cause cancer =)

[@emmaprice2323]

Im going to France this week And i am going to metal detect there :D

[@justinzummo9801]

Looks like gorge Washington on that pendent

[@nickmad887]

nice work

[@jonbryn4]

lol paul bunyans wedding ring. he was married to blue.

[@mcdutchoriginal]

Can't... remember... History... broken! Why Dan, why did you break history?

[@stephanie1002feb]

I love the way he said solid 69

[@ggsmith099]

glue your hunting metal back together D.D.D.

[@globe255]

I guess you aren't far away from the English Channel.

[@geoffshaw8053]

5:51 - lol

[@chriss.9398]

Looks like george washington on the quarter. Why that would be in germany in a pendant form is beyond me?

[@chriss.9398]

Ballbags70 Well no I can understand that. It would make sense for soldiers to have money to trade other people for cigarettes and stuff but I was just wondering because it was a pendant.. Which doesnt make any sense to me..

[@jamesbeer422]

THAT SECOND THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A GUN PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-]

[@DjGlenJon]

the bullet looking thinkys a robots nipple

[@CyanFlareDoesMinecraft]

7:48 thats what she said

[@hq3359]

Come On Get In!!!

[@darrenmitchell6986]

[@sniffy6999999]

[@russellmoore2350]

[@gadgetgamers5284]

Thanks

[@mieczyslawskowronski7416]

Nice video...

[@ms.michealh893]

I think the medallion is a picture of George Washington our first president! At least that's my guess!

[@ms.michealh893]

You're welcome! :-) Keep digging!

[@flybye130817]

Nice find guy's.

[@t1muh479]

[@PatMac98]
