Just found your site. You had an oil pit where soldiers would have worked on their tank or cannon and you just left it. They could have had rare parts soaking to get clean. It’s buried like that to keep dirt and other debris out of they were bombed or attacked. So much could have been in that area as it seemed they had dug in pretty well.

[@rogerelzenga4465]

Gotta looooove finding a Latrine pit :D

[@bear1245]

Instantly what I thought 💩 😂

[@bigswoop5143]

Those brushes definitely weren't for painting 😂😂

[@ChristopherAnnesley]

My first thoughts were, "this is a latrine, and that isn't oil" 😂😂. Love your videos.

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Oh wow hahaha. Definitely a big surprise. Didn't think of that!

[@morganwithem4568]

Historical 💩

[@danperry3116]

When that grease gun was revealed I thought that it was the iconic grease gun machine gun. Turned out to be an actual grease gun!

[@andrewbrodbeck2298]

Same

[@notagunfreak8146]

Inside of the oil barrel could have been items that were hidden. Oil preserves metal.

[@marthacollins8120]

I would have dug it out and found out. The bottom hides things

[@ThatACRGuy]

Not oil thats a makeshift toilet, found a few myself , they covered with tiles and wood to keep it from crushing and smell then burried it DO NOT DRAIN AND SIFT NAZI SHIT 🤣😂🤣

[@2807204]

The drum with the brush was probably once an oil based paint that has now, over time separate into solid and fluids with the oil floating to the top.

[@darylmorse7337]

I was thinking that the oil drum & brush could have been used to lubricate any of the big cannon moving parts that could have been used to shoot the cannon ammo onto their enemy. The brush is such a crude brush that it looks like it would have been used just to quickly slap on the oil / lubricant during the operation of the cannon.

[@BlastedBilly]

Your collection of various trinkets and medals must be insane!

[@theoracle6639]

My wife is in awe of your lady. How does she do this sort of work and keep her nails so beautiful?

[@MARKE911]

You and your crew are always amazing to watch your finds. Thank you

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for the support!!

[@SheepDogActual]

Absolutely great times and finds. Videography was brilliant. However my favorite shot was the red fingernails in the dirt with badges. Seriously, great job. As a historian, your videos are very educational.

[@nopelindoputraperkasa5869]

My best friend's discovery ...Very inspiring and motivating ...Good luck ...Greeting from Indonesian traditional gold prospecting 🇮🇩⚒️⛏️💎😍👍👍

[@dustyrusty6840]

Need longer videos. Great finds.

[@Sk47_bangouuut]

absolutely love this channel, came to germany with my detector last fall and found a wound badge in so so shape but the eagle and the Sw*stika was still visible on the back-side of it. Vielen Dank für die Erinnerungen im Internet und dafür, dass Sie mir ein neues Hobby geschenkt haben!

[@giannispap16]

if you let paint brush into petrol it doesnt get dry

[@geronimo5537]

Oh they found some good stuff in that oil barrel. Metal basically remains unchanged in watery oil for many decades.

[@sarahcook8725]

Wow what you are finding is amazing so much history

[@goldielocks2621]

There are many collectors of lead toys, pins and badges. I'm an amateur and If I had planted a spud in every negative hole I dig, I would now be a Potato farmer. Love everything you lads do and that includes you Faye 😀

[@linusoberwinster]

1 May is "Tag der Arbeit“ in Germany, so they might have found the patches on the Tag der Arbeit

[@sundance2005]

Sorry, first time here, what is WHW? The medal and badge business appears to be very prosperous in the 30 and during WW2 in Germany.

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Winterhilfswerk. A charity purpose during WW2 for the German people. These badges were collectables for people who donated money.

[@franktuckwell196]

Fascinating stuff, amazing just what is out there, just waiting to be rediscovered after so much time. Please take care out there, do not get blown up. I have just found you and subscribed.

[@FinnvanderLinden-jt4dt]

U can restore the top of the German parade bajonet the knife it self is a loos part if u buy the knife and grips u can make the bajonet compleet the knife is hold together with the screws of the grip

[@Koinkidonyoutube]

1:58 that coin could have also been from a German soldier who was deployed in Denmark and picked up the coin

Hey nice seeing you guys again nice finds today Faye found some nice things as well

[@aduritee]

There are alot of germans buried in Naramowice, Poznan, Poland , i found bone remainings of a german solider today in my friends backyard along with other stuff like nazi plates

[@mattbyrne1822]

very good finds 👍👍

[@sussgottronaldo3063]

Faye is a baddie, how she said „Reichsmutterdienst“ made me bust

From where I sit, Fay is the true treasure. 😉

She sure is! 😍

Excellent video,excellent finds. Thanks for sharing ❤ all the best from Somerset UK 👍🏻👍🏻

[@treasurearth]

Great Day !! Thanks for sharing.

[@sirlvcivs]

i need you to take me with you everytime you go to find stuff! i have a mission in life...first of..i need to be there

[@docvideomusic]

Very good !! I like it !! Paul B from Italy

[@merman671]

There's a museum in the U.S. that sells the exact same things that you are finding for an insane amount of $$$. Just curious to see if you guys are aware of that? Americans will/do pay a fortune for WWII relics.

[@francisebbecke2727]

Be careful as there is still unexploaded ordnance left over from that time. Don't die in a war that ended decades before you were born.

[@jannisares]

I totally agree. When one is found the government will either defuse it or clear the area to set it off.

[@scotchy88]

Pretty sure their aware of that

[@joelmanchen7421]

As always, great video, love watching what you find. My opa fought on the eastern front for the SS. I would love to accompany you and your friends on a dig!!!!!!

[@bear1245]

You definitely found a dump site 💩 😂

[@S30Uploads]

looking at modern war zones, i can only imagine how much trash was everywhere

[@kathykeith2203]

Amazing fines❤❤❤❤!!!

[@robbytheoutdoorsguy_channel]

dream come true area....wow so fortunate!

[@Andolf10001]

Great finds

[@m.wie.marvin]

Hello from Germany ❤

[@tobiasandersen1168]

The coin from 1942 like Danmark on it from My country i didnt think u could find that wow 😍

[@tonydagostino6158]

The American .45 caliber M3 submachine gun was known as the "Grease Gun". You'd have to be on the Western Front to find one of those but you may have been near a motor pool or maintenance shed where they worked on transport.

[@markhooper5824]

Brilliant guys.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@WTCHIMKEN]

I always want to find something like this, love to see people fins this stuff😆the problem is that i dont know good spots to go metal detecting anyone got tips?

[@soundwave6083]

The aircraft is probably a Junkers Ju 52. Probably belonged to a Fallschirmjäger soldier.

[@przap]

Great vid as always! I just love your drone! May I ask the model's name?

[@PorscheSC]

Great videos everyone. Keep up the good work!

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for the support!

[@Raivenfan4life]

I thought it was an grenade but it was a brush

[@germainwilson800]

Still curious about that barrel. So weird that they went threw all that work for nothing

[@matallens3006]

Hope you put the soil back in the holes you dig up. Leave it how you found it.

[@antwhal]

Are you new? They do.

[@matallens3006]

@@antwhal you see a lot of these people digging and leaving everything dug up in a mess , if you dig it up put it back how you find it . Yes I am new this was recommended whilst watching another channel. I love history to buy got to respect the place you're digging up people have died there that's all it's about respect mate👍🙂

[@noahellis3672]

Great video with a lot of interesting finds. I'm surprised at the small airplane and machine gun squad that you found at the dump site. But do you turn in the rounds of unused ammunition like the rifle ammo in the clips to the police or certain officials? Or do you rebury it or sell it to collectors?

[@ethanmitchell3857]

Another great video thank you man!

[@sf14031952]

Latrine pit the oil is to burn the faeces

[@murry001]

[@johnconnell5115]

I bet it was a latrine

[@SophisticatedMarbleYT]

Seems Intresting

[@user-vu2ht6sn9l]

[@alaskanwolf7262]

What do you do with the relics? Donate them to museums? I would think keeping them would be very bad karma.

[@MultiTeamfox]

Do you sell any of the relics you find

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Yes we do! Check out our shop: mdww2battlegrounds.com/shop

In the words of iron mike ohhhhh yes when a video gets uploaded great as always!

Love your vidoes! I am planning to come to europe in xmas 2025 from Australia, could it be possible to meet you guys and hit some fields?

[@oliverrasmussen2295]

What happens to all objects you find?.Do you have to leave all findings to the land owner, government, or do you keep them to yourself s?

They never show their faces (means they treasure hunt illegaly)

Waar is deze video opgenomen in Duitsland of Nederland

[@SteveM45]

Do you have the permission for digging here?

[@williamfindspeople4341]

To dig in Germany you need a permit because of bodies and live ammo.

[@deenh6004]

Hello fellow explorers, I have a question? Why do you guys touch badly rusted artifacts with you barehands instead of using gloves? The fingerprints are going to ruin the tests for the mesume if you guys give the artifacts to mesumes as to what I think and correct me if I am wrong.

[@deenh6004]

Anyways, you guys should explore and dig up artifacts from the ww1 era next. It would be astounding and I am new to this channel

[@giannispap16]

you dont use deus 2 guys??
