MP44 / StG44 and WWII Third Reich Eastern Front Battlefield Relics

[@Targetpopper]

Good to see this stuff recovered and not rotting in the dirt. These are valuable links to the past and to the men who carried them. Impressive finds and good work.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanx John, glad you liked it!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Sie können froh sein dass wir die Mühe machen unsere Funde auf diese Weise mit der ganze Welt teilen. Für jeden interessierten ist diese deutsche Geschichte jetzt sehr einfach zu sehen.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hello Peer, thank you for the compliments, glad you liked it.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

You're welcome. There are areas where is fought in every small village, and when there is a piece of forest in the area, you can have a try and search. Some woods are private, if you speak the language you can ask permission.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanx Allan, and those were the days indeed. Good to hear you like the vids, and good hunt to you and your Minelab next year!

[@Jaymz007]

Great finds. You guys are so lucky that you get to hunt there. Thank you for sharing.

[@hillhorse3062]

Great video guys, I used to live in north Germany back in the mid 60`s,and i always remember that strange feeling of "something happened here" when i was in the forests with my dad, we found all kinds of wartime stuff just lying around(no detectors in those days) Next year when i get my camper van i will start coming over to visit the battle sites and hopefully put my minelab to good use. Thanks for the video`s

[@fatnsassy99]

I appreciate you taking time to show us the pictures that unite the item you found to how it was worn or used in the war times.

[@susanwilson3996]

Loved this vid. My Dad fought in France WWII and spent 20 yrs. US Army. This really makes me feel a connection with him. Love that you guys answer so many posts, learned a lot! Surprised that no one asked for the title & artist of the great song you chose? A grimm reminder of all the lives lost over the foolishness of our leaders. Thanks so much, you are very fortunate. Best wishes from my Country to yours!!!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

All the helmets we find end up on an shelf next to each other, the nice little relics we show in a display cabinet.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks Psycho. This video, and some of our other vids are the result of a several day visit to a well known, or completely unknown battlefield. Each day we try to do some digging in the area of where the action took place. Forget about a permit, there is no such thing as a "licence to dig" for us hobbyists, just be careful.

[@losdamonstuhh]

Just one video needed to subscribe. Truly amazing my friends.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Robin, thanks a lot! We try to read as much as possible ( books of specific regiments or divisions, soldiers personal journals, after action reports etc usw ) then we make a plan and visit the area with our MD's. Sometimes we get lucky, often not.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Cobra, it's one of our nicest finds ever, we still have it on display.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

We too! You don't want to know how many km's we have to drive each time ;-) Glad you like it.

[@verborgenewahrheit1594]

Love this video, many thanks for uploading!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

You're welcome, vielen Dank!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Glad you like it. We never sell or buy, we only collect the items we find ourselves.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Vielen Dank Ms'B, wir haben alles in diesem Video in ein paar Tagen gefunden.

[@yooperpackrat]

You guys rock!!!keep up the great work of digging up history.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks man!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Mark, we always say; when you find it, treat live ammo with respect, do not touch it more then neccesary and bury it back. People only get into trouble when they take it home and go mess with it in their shed. Glad you like the vid, nice to hear.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Not just luck, it requires a lot of research, reading of books and soldiers personal journals etc. Then we visit the area of research and have a try. About our finds: we collect what we find ourselfs.

[@jimmieallen5096]

Great video guys. Keep up the fantastic work much appreciated. And greetings from The U.S.A Gresham Oregon.

[@reise-vz4tv]

Wow!!! Amazing finds!! Very nice video

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thank you. One time we found a similar lighter ( like IMCO ), but not marked and made of brass, and once a ghb SOLIS pat lighter.

[@JosephMC250]

This by far is the best video I've seen Cheers 🇧🇪

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi GTM, glad you like our vids. Canadian troops came overhere with guns to liberate us in ww2. When you come over to Europe, bring along a metaldetector and have a try in the woods, hope you are lucky. The big finds ( helmets ) end up on a shelve, the nice small relics in a display cabinet.

[@Wahrnehmung]

Nice findings guys, thanks for the dug up compilation. The gendarmerie shield and the krim ring are fantastic findings.

[@ImuhMusician]

It is my dream to travel these lands and do what you do. Thank you so much for sharing your precious finds! :)

[@GTM59]

You guys are the best at what you do. I've subcribed to your channel a long time ago & you never fail to amaze me with your finds from WW2. Keep up the great videos & great metal detecting finds! cheers!

[@CarletonWatkins1861]

Great finds and a great video. Thanks!

[@MoMurphy90]

Superb, fascinating subject and well presented, well done !

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thank you angel, our last vid for this year will soon appear. For 2013 we already scheduled some new hunts...when we are successful new vids follow:)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Obrigado pela apreciação.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thank you ניר צברי , thats nice to hear, good you stopped by.

[@ABPhotography1]

very interesting stuff you've found. Thanks for uploading.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Early this year we found one, watch this video: WWII Relic Hunting on the Eastern Front - P38 Luger P08 (HD)

[@justjohnny6559]

Great finds and great video guys. One doesn't have to speak German to get the eerie feeling from those relics. I would love to hunt those woods someday.

[@cerena]

this is my dream job. I've been interested in history since I was little. I'm currently a journalism and photography major, but most of my elective classes were all honors history courses. This is an incredible video. Especially the flower piece and the ring. Wow.. absolutely incredible.

[@orionsbelt471]

Awesome finds, I love battlefield history I wish I lived there

[@robertsalmon6893]

I really enjoy your videos, so much history, very cool.

[@MrChaliemurphy]

thanks for posting the cool video. right on bro. keep up the metal detecting cant wait to see more.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Nice question. So far we have found 4 small Roman coins, all made of bronze, and one late medieval coin made of silver. The Napoleonic era emblem we once found is not ancient, but also an incidental find.

[@Kisex69]

Very nice vid! It was enjoying watching you digging those things. I also do the same but my best discovery so far were only bullets haha :P

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Bukwoski, the relic at 4:00 is a so called "Feldgendarmerie ringkragen" ( search it on google). We use Fisher and XP detectors with 10,5 inch - and bigger searchcoils. How bigger the coil, the deeper it detects the metal object.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thank you Dan. A lot of stuff is thrown away in trenches and foxholes during and after the war, that's why some things lay so deep.

[@lowpross11]

Very cool ! Wish I was there doing that.. Congrats on finding all that awesome stuff

[@michelscheveninger]

Gasten ik zoek regelmatig in Duitsland en Tsjechie maar deze topvondsten heb ik nog nooit mogen vinden. Ga zo door en blijf ze plaatsen op youtube

[@kandiebarreiro4776]

[@Steelgreyeyes]

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Tanakawa, thanx, and you are right. We us a 6 cm neodymium ring magnet wich can pull about 100 - 120 kg. Search for "magnet relic" on youtube and you can watch some vids on this subject.

[@jeffwilkes4508]

Greetings gentleman ! Now that's what I call fishing ! Well done !

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks Jeff! Cool you like the video!

[@Tony63909]

+WWII MetalDetecting Where is this site that you were digging in? What do you do with the artifacts?

[@jws54]

this is wonderful,..thanks for sharing

[@stringalongmike1953]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@1950boots]

Excellent Video! Thank You!

[@importpappa]

Fascinating... so much history.

[@R2tag]

This a Great film loved it looking back at the History like this you have found, you are so lucky to Metal Detect things like this :o)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi Hellsbaby, the song is called: Out on an island, by Cock Sparrer.

[@MrYoutub59]

love ther with you finding all that .

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi FTP, we use Fisher an XP metaldetectors with 10,5 inch searchcoils.

[@jesseboy121]

i enjoy watching this :D greetings from holland ;)

[@ZaredoPSN]

Ich liebe das Junge, Junge ;D Ihr seid echt toll und eure Videos sind klasse

[@LouisMeadows]

Nice job guys, keep filming your finding history

[@johnbleu6637]

Amazing finds!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Danke für die Erklärung.

[@chrisedy9116]

Great Video Get a feel of the solders that had that stuff

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hello Dan, many people ask us the same question, and we keep it as it is now. You can go there with some friends to have a hunt yourself! Concentrate on an area where is fought, and read well about what is happened there. Put up your tent on a campsite and have a try in the woods.

[@kopkiew]

Лес замечательный для копа!

[@wadoman699]

Nice finds, friends. If that was all in one day, it was a great hunt.

[@Delta4280]

Hell of a find!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Vielen Dank Patrick. Alles ist eine Frage des Glücks und versuchen. Das eine Mal finden wir sofort etwas Spaß, manchmal erst nach 2 oder 3 Tagen. MfG

[@KraljLazar]

Excellent video and even more fantastic finds :) Althow, I'd really like to see some more US and UK stuff... :D

[@stevengolfs]

Amazing finds, and a very professional presentation of your videos and still pictures. I may not understand what you're saying, but your images speak clearly. Count me in as a new subscriber.

[@lay3Rv2]

This is incredible!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

The ring most likely belonged to a soldier who was part of the 11th Army of Erich von Manstein, charged with the conquest of the Crimea. The ring is made as a reminder of his commitment in the fight for Simferopol in 1942 ( engraved on the inside ).

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Be my guest, buying one is easier. I think you will be very successful and find lots of nice relics overthere in Letland. Good hunt.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

...deep sigh.......For the 10.000th time: all you see in our video's are loose finds, found near old battlefields. Where do you see skulls, bones, pieces of fabric, leather boots? When will people understand that a thrown away helmet or other relic does not immediately mean field grave?

[@jrusselllazlo]

Thanx for digging up history-that's what it is all about!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi cookie, there were 3 items on the bottom of this old foxhole: a steering wheel, a helmet and a Pzf-tube.

[@mozart162]

awesome finds :D i really like it so damn much

[@axgouk1]

Respekt Männer ... sehr gute kleine Schätze

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Vielen Dank Z, das ist schön zu hören. Unser neueste Video ist fast fertig.

[@MrRecordbuyer]

That ring is incredible!

[@Natix4life]

nice findings :) cool video great work good luck :)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

That's true, fellow diggers of us have already found a few missing soldiers. For that reason we carry a GPS device with us, to mark the exact location for a professional excavation. Most important is that location, together with the information on the tag ( if present ), not the tag itself. Personal belongings like a weddingring must go back to the family if possible, it does not belong in a display cabinet.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanx atter, we're not worried about that. We have found some landmines in the dunes on the coast, at the Atlantic wall, never in the woods. As with al ammo: treat it with respect, don't mess with it, take a picture for determination and bury it back.

[@Guardian7x]

Omg amazing finds!!

[@Lethalgnome]

Some really nice finds, I like the ring :D

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hey Jonh, the leather was not rotten as you can see, but a treatment was necessary to preserve that leather liner.

[@arsch1234]

Nice dug outs! Especially the ring (for serving on the krim) and the flower (an "edelweiss" only for the mountain divisions) are really rare. Keep up the good work!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

No thanks, good that you like it. Anyone can drive around there and search, but you got to have some luck.

[@mikeymarmalade]

Cool - exciting stuff!

[@maikel9046]

Respect! mooi filmpje! Groetjes uit brabant

[@neopadro]

Great finds

[@TheAwesomeYehudi]

Holy crap! This is soo cool!

[@Ldotvidz]

Fantastic stuff ,people need to do this as so we can learn from it and not let it happen again
