Metal Detecting WW2 - Famous 101st Airborne DROPZONE MARKET GARDEN - Old WWII Gun Powder BURNS!

Hello Everyone!!
I'm back, and this time with a WW2 Metal detecting video!
It's been a long time, and I know a lot of you have been waiting for another detecting video, so here it is!
We were invited by Mike to do some Metal Detecting on the famous 101st Airborne Drop Zones of Operation Market Garden ( Netherlands / Holland )
We found some really interesting stuff, and especially on a location like this, it's priceless!
We had a good time, and what a great experience it was.. Visiting a location like this gives you a feeling you can't describe!
Enough talking, no more spoilers, I hope you enjoy the video!! :)

My great uncle went into market garden as a British Paratrooper, I’m not sure if it was in a glider or parachute but I know he was a different man when he returned according to my mother! He saved a Welshman who was injured by swimming the Rhine with him on his back, brave men who should never be forgotten! His name was les Blackman.🇬🇧

[@lisagogal261]

Thank you for these videos! My great Uncle was killed during Operation Varsity in a glider. Seeing this and getting a little understanding of what he went through is sobering. He is buried in Margraten Cemetery. I was blessed to be able to visit his grave and meet the family that watches over him. The people of the Netherlands have a special place in my heart. Thank you again!

[@Tongtheballr]

I’m sorry to hear that man, your uncle is in a better place now, like my uncle in WW2 😞

[@lultimorecuperante]

I'm speechless... the soldier with the axe trying help his friend, and your piece of alluminum... absolutly heartbraking! You are the example of preserving history, keep going!! and greetings from Italian First World War Battlefields

[@Wreckdiver59]

Definitely go back if you get the chance. You did a good job of describing things and putting them in historical context. The melted coin might be a Canadian quarter. The word CANADA is along the rim above a moose head for that time period. There were Canadians involved in Market Garden on loan to the British and even a few in the 1st Airborne. Hard to tell for sure with the melting, but I couldn't find any British or American coins with those letters.

[@SandervkHistory]

Amazing finds!! Really cool! I am making a documentary about Operation Market Garden. So this video inspires me to work even harder on it! Dankjewel Nick! 🙏👍

[@arminwebster1087]

At 24:57: The item you are looking at is a turn-buckle adjustment fitting for 2 ends of a cable to adjust the tension. they are normally used to adjust flight control cables in an aircraft.

@@History-Secrets saw you on lemonare's stream, I meant old as a complement, lol, but due to my lack of typing skills in the short time you stopped by I wasn't able to explain that. I still think its weird that you would check out a Minecraft stream, but what made me even more confused was that you talked on your main account. usually my brother changes his account when he's doing other stuff so nobody is sitting in chat wondering why a verified beat producer is on a live stream about whatever he watches these days... just wanted to clear that up.

Yeah I just like to chill on YT sometimes and talk with people in live streams, it's fun :) And I understand it's weird seeing a History KZbinr in a Minecraft stream..

There were Canadian troops who served in the British 1st Airborne division under the CANLOAN system as they had a surplus of officers and the British were short of them. Flew into Arnhem in gliders where they would have been sitting ducks. Polish airborne were also involved as in A Bridge Too Far and suffered very high losses. Gene Hackman played their commander in the movie.

It makes me both incredibly happy/appreciative, but also very sad at the same time, that you have more respect, appreciation, and reverence for the Americans who made those jumps and gave everything they had to help save the world from a madman, than American citizens who take what they have available to them for granted. Again, thank you for what you're doing and for the respect you pay to these artifacts that represent those courageous soldiers.

@25:04 is a handle for a cleaning rod,from a rifle cleaning kit,the rod sections would screw together and the handle would screw onto one end of the assembled rod,a bore brush or patch eye would screw into the other end.

The piece of metal that you have in your hand at the 25 min mark that you think is ripcord material is from the crashed aircraft....The aircraft is a DC3...The "thing" is called a TURNBARREL...IT has tread cut in at both ends...the side with the groove around it has left hand thread while the other side is normal thread..it is used to attach 2 cables together. The hole in the middle is to turn it and wind the treads in to tension the cable to a preset value...By the size of it I would guys it's from the trim system or engine control cables...I did my trade test on the DC3...Those turnbarrels are still used today and made of brass.

This is incredibly interesting. You may find it interesting that, in the 1960's, the airline KLM was doing aerial surveys of the areas involved with the glider landings. They were astonished when they observed that the outlines of the gliders were still visible from the air some twenty years after the battle. I'm still looking for the photo I saw in the book I found it in originally.
