World War II Metal Detecting - Paratooper Relic Hunting on the Western Front

[@kdurk7546]

This is awesome stuff guys. Just to be standing where these brave soldgiers fought would be enough for me but you guys take it to the next level. Finding personel items must be tough but for us to see it dug up after 70 years is priceless. Thanks for sharing.

[@survivethis2168]

Wow if I could join you guys in finding all these great relics, I would be shocked, thank you for keeping history alive.

[@sindergrey3024]

Thank you for discovering these relics. most of these places you dig look to be where soldiers have fallen. I know many museums and military units would love to have this history back with them.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks Sinder, also many museums don't display that great amount of relics anymore. Today it's all about the ''experience''..

[@sindergrey3024]

WWII MetalDetecting that stinks.. I know the army would display these items.

[@JamesLee-lk4kx]

I am absolutely blown away by your videos,much respect. Thank you for posting these,I could watch them all day long.

[@tedkreibich8584]

Excellent video and all items recovered presented with respect as they should be, my sister father-in-law served in the British para's in WW2 so finds relevant to my family. Thank you

[@774Rob]

Fantastic video gents! I love how you show the pieces you find on the old films.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks Rob! Good to hear you like that.

[@mihe6572]

Thank you for what you do! It's so important to preserve history. Unfortunately sometimes it's dark history. More importantly future generations can learn from this.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Good to hear, thanks! That is why we do it for.

[@jamesstockbauer9425]

Wow highly produced you all as much film makers as you are detectorists!! Good work keeping the history alive we all learn from this. As a German American I see this war as a good lesson for all of us to learn from and the horrible things are boys had to do to each other. Peace!!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks for watching and your vision James, this shows the war in another dimension. Greets WWIIMD.

[@MUDSWAT]

James Stockbauer War is a dark place, no way around it... Also as a German-Jewish-American.. I know crazy combo... War is a place we should *never* go again !

[@tonygarcia9988]

the best metal detecting channel.. i like how they show the item in its time.. i enjoy your videos..

[@arbiskup]

Wow! Fantastic! I am addicted to your videos! I will watch them all! Thanks for the great stuff!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks, very good to hear! Enjoy watching. WWIIMD

[@itstothemax9776]

Ik hou ervan om maar jullie video's te kijken, echt complimenten 👍

[@nolantony1]

Muy buen video Gracias WWII MetalDetecting

[@GarmischGator]

I am an American in Bavaria who attempts to metal detect like you guys do. Always such great vids!!!! Keep up the great finds. If you are ever in Bavaria, I would love to join you guys for a day. Dank u wel!

[@ward26102]

You guys should contact Discovery Channel or History Channel about a television show. This would be so awesome. You already have all the basics - finding interesting relics and showing them in context from old war stock footage. Thanks for the great videos.

[@mattyams223]

great videos,, love how you put the history photos in just great thanks

[@kevincook1618]

Great job!. Especially appreciate the comparison of artifacts to historical imagery. While always fascinating such artifact rescue always carries a bit of nostalgia and sadness for the needless waste of war. . . fratricidal or otherwise. Frieden für Alle.

[@coalman75]

Excellent videos. I really like how you reference back to the historical footage for reference after showing us your find. Glad I found your channel.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

coalman75 Thanks, good to hear!

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Very glad I found your channel! Love how you show items in use.

[@Diggerww2]

Good stuff guys !,your right you should keep this in your collection, i love market garden relics,those guys came to help us...

[@bowen5995]

Amazing work! Wish I lived in Europe where this history is. Touch to find such interesting war history here in the states. Love watching! Keep up the great and very interesting work!

[@superdave54811]

I eagerly await the next video. It is very moving to see these items being brought to the surface. There was so much destruction to gain peace in both WW1 and WW2. It truly is an emotional issue for many people. I am moved seeing all the material you bring out. I know it is an exxtremely small fraction of what is out there. Please keep up the great work you do. I hope that one day the world is truly at peace, but at this moment, I know it is far from it. Cheers to you!!!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Good to hear David! Nicely spoken, we are working on a new video at the moment. Only not much spare time to use these days. Greetings! WWIIMD

[@nolmamer583]

This is awesome!! And my friend told me that one of his uncles was one of the parachuters

[@iurii_gagarin]

Super,as always

Looks like relics from Operation Market Garden in Holland. Awesome!

[@Solorider551]

Awesome findings, guys. Congrats!

[@arbiskup]

I also LOVE they way that you cut from the artifact to an actual WWII photo that shows that very piece as it was in use! :-)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks, we like that as well! It gets you closer to the relics we found.

[@krazyhorse357]

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks Jeff! It is still today possible to find.

[@Maki_Nishikino89]

Really nice of you guys to report the grenade to the authorities.

[@psygn0sis]

So lucky to live near somewhere with that kind of historical significance. I"ll never find anything like that in California.

[@Ashhhhtube]

Awesome, another great hunt! Cool finds, I would love to hunt those battlefield areas. Good luck in the next hunt, Ash.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks for the kind words Ash! WWIIMD

Dwells with you in Holland and let our forests in peace It's great when our stuff I go to Holland hope customs does ne control if you faht of Detschland to Holland WWII MetalDetecting

[@frozenjoe6313]

Jörg Reußner I don't want to spoil everyone's fun. Bear in mind there is a great deal of ordinance still out there, even left over from ww1 in a lot of places. and Every Year I think over 200 tonnes are disposed of. Phosgen gas , mustard, HE, and land mines . It lasts and lasts, and even the pros get blown up once in a while. People will be getting blown up for the next 150 years, and people died on those battlefields. To be honest yes I have gone metal detecting on old military ranges in the USA. I am done with that and I go to safer spots. Idaho

[@stavrosathas250]

well done my friends!!greetings from Greece!

[@TheCurrencyMan]

Love your videos!

Mooie video terug jongens! Dank je

[@vintagephoto444]

Really nice ! thumbs up. :)

The burned armor and binoculars might have been in a glider that crashed. I hear they were death traps.

[@faustoleonardoamaral8382]

[@everybodyfuckoff8269]

Brilliant.

[@TwoFace1976]

leuk filmpje weer kerel, jij maakt meestal wel leuke vondsten, niet toevallig een keer zin om iemand mee te nemen toevallig die ook graag oorlog relics zoekt ;)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

He Bjorn bedankt voor je reactie, in het verleden hebben we dat wel eens gedaan maar met tegenvallende resultaten en het op eigen gelegenheid teruggaan naar de plekken. Hoop dat je het begrijpt. Groeten, WWIIMD

[@TwoFace1976]

ok ik begrijp je wel al ben ik niet hetzelfde zoals die gasten maar ok snap je wel

[@WoIIas]

Dear WWII MetalDetecting, could you do some metal detecting in Belgium (Ardennes) where the 101th airborne division (Easy Company) fought? I'm sure there will be some nice historical relic's from WW2 there!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hello MGS, we tried that several times, the interesting was the StG44 we found in that area (see our video). Most relics are gone for many years.

[@MrInterestingWorld]

And you found a nice dump too! Were there any markings present on the porcalain you found?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

It was a nice surprise indeed, the porcelain had no nazi markings so it still lays there. WWIIMD

[@k98100]

Mooie vondsten weer hoor! Leuk dat die parachutestof altijd zo mooi blijft! Ik heb een paar weken geleden een MG42 uit het water gevist! Hier het linkje als je het wilt zien. :) Metal detecting WW2 German MG42 FOUND!!! Gr Nick

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Thanks Nick, die opgeviste MG ziet er anders ook erg gaaf uit! Stilstaand water?

[@k98100]

WWII MetalDetecting Bedankt! Hij lag bij een bruggetje waar dagelijks boten doorheen gingen. Het water stroomde soms heel hard maar stond ook vaak stil. Bij de MG lagen ook nog wat andere items: Nederlandse m1912 officiers sabel, afzetpaal, en nog wat munitie. Ik ben in totaal 5 dagen bezig geweest om de MG er uit te vissen.. daar hebben we 2 magneten nodig voor gehad ;)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

k98100 Goed bezig geweest dan, daar hebben jullie echt geluk mee gehad! Hopelijk blijft er nog een mooie relic van over.

[@CulturaBrasilNumismatica]

Muita coisa boa nesse video

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Agradecimentos para olhar!

[@CulturaBrasilNumismatica]

Thanks for watching, we are using XP en Fisher detectors.

Oké ja snap ik bedankt voor de reactie en heb alweer zin in de volgende video

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Bedankt voor het begrip, we weer weer cool materiaal dus een nieuwe video komt er in de loop van tijd aan.

[@aka_rook]

Fascinated by your videos guys. Do you ever sadly happen upon human remains?

[@dynamicgaming234]

Rook Nah, some dude asked on another vid, and they said " No humans yet" If they did find one, they would get specialists to identify which soldier it was. Im not sure how, but technology these days can do anything.

[@neskalinXP]

what jacket is the olive one with the small beige leather batch on the left sleeve?? great videos btw

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

neskalinXP Google for Strauss workwear. WWIIMD

[@emmuh0uttt]

Mooie vondsten jongens!

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hé Lean, bedankt! Groeten

[@absurdanemone104]

Nice founds and cool video. And also a question: do you have any sort of a "big catch" or "treasure" thing you guys realy wanted to find like an almost perfect mg42 or something uniqe and rare?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Good question: hidden nazi gold..! No just something small for our display cabinets. Guns are very cool to find but difficult with the law and much work preserve them the right way. Last trip we did find an extremely rare item, you will see it the up coming video. Greets, WWIIMD

[@Milan99-21]

ik was laats in een bunker die hadden we open gebroken en er zat een hele oude motor in

[@ddnaomi]

Are you trained to recognize potential explosive devices?

[@thesonofsons]

one time i found a hole U.S Jeep destroyed by a panzerfaust or a mine , could not tell.

[@mot0rhe4d40]

Looks a lot like a privy ( outhouse ) dig

[@everybody_hobby]

Greeting gentlemen, was just wondering what you do with the dog tags you find or any personal items? Do you turn them in or try to contact family of the fallen? Just curious. Great videos and look forward to the next one.

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hello Edsel, thanks for your post. At the end of the war many soldiers were glad it was over and threw their gear and dog tag away. We report the ones we have found on the battlefield, the ones found in a dump we do not report. WWIIMD

[@shotguncheney2561]

great job guys as always ,but i was wondering if u could add subtitles for those of us that don't speak German?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hi there, we are Dutch and most of it make's no sence ;) Greets WWIIMD

[@shotguncheney2561]

lol sry for the mistake

[@OdkrywcaHistorii]

Rewelacyjny film. Z bardzo dużym zaitersowaniem oglądam Twoje filmy. Często po kilka razy. Jak dla mnie Twój kanał jest bezkonkurencyjny pod wzgledem jakości wykonania materiału i prezentowanych przedmiotów. Zainspirowaleś mnie swoją twórczością. Postanowiłem założyć swoj kanał na yuo Tube o tematyce poszukiwań przy użyciu detektor metalu. Życzę ci kolejnych udanych filmów. Zagladam do ciebie systematycznie. Pozdrawiam

[@MoldeInternational]

Love your videos! i wish only you could tell us more about where u find the items, perhaps show it on a map. And maybe give us more info on witch battle tok place there etc. Because now i`m sitting here with so many questions:P Anyways, keep it up ! =)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hello there, I understand it would it to a complete story and makes it for some persons more interesting. But putting maps and battefield information in our videos is way overdone, just enjoy watching ;) Greets WWIMD

[@IGHavelland]

Hi , Wann gibt es mal wieder neues Video von euch ? ;) Gruß Team Dosenbier

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hallo TD, Noch ein bisschen Geduld, ich muss da noch zeit fur frei machen ;) Schöne Funde stehen jetzt bereit fur die neue Video! Groeten Team WWIIMD

[@Benjamin-un2ed]

ik zou dir zelf ook wel willen doen ik heb in normandie kogels gevonden maar ik zou veel liever dezelfde spullen geschiedenis vinden als jullie

[@Ahdeny]

Hey just wanted to say, i love the videos. It was very interesting to see you dig up parts of gliders as my great uncle was part of the 6th Airborne division during ww2. What do you do with the artefacts that you find?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Hello, interesting your great uncle was one of them who jumped there. We clean the relics a little up and display them in our cabinets. WWIIMD

[@maxdvantol]

Hallo jongens, Erg goede video's zeg! Ik ga binnen kort naar de eifel in Duitsland en vroeg me af of jullie weten of je daar mag zoeken met je detector?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

He Max, bedankt voor het compliment. Overal wordt het wel redelijk gedoogd, maar gewoon in alle gevallen alles netjes achter laten en proberen om niet op te vallen. Vooral je auto goed kwijt kunnen is een must.

[@dascabinetdesdoktorcaligar4714]

Great job, guys. How often do you find unexploded ordnance?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Federico Masini Thanks Frederico, life ordnance can be found on every battlefield. Most of them are rifle cartridges.

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

Federico Masini once

[@lajo70]

As a WW2 nerd I am excited watching your videos, thanks. If I get one of these detectors and head out to search for myself.. Would that be legal lets say in Germany or Holland? :)

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Don't think this hobby is nerdy but seriously though! Metal Detecting is a grey part of law. But many people ruin this hobby by leaving their dug holes open and trash on the surface. Greets, WWIIMD

[@andysm1964]

Fantastic video guys` .. how does one get involved with this activity?... need any volunteers ?

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

[@leafyisnothere7093]

+WWII MetalDetecting do you guys keep all this stuff u find because if you do its illegal because ur disturbing the remains of a beloved solider

[@Tweaky_]

Great videos! Also I have a question about something I had once found behind my backyard. There is a lake that in which has a lot of old items within or around it, one day I was with my friends fishing And I spotted a glint of light. Turns out it was a type of old zippo lighter all rusted up with words on it and a printed/sticker of the British flag, I'm wondering if It could be real. Plus I live in America so I was fascinated by it, usually I don't see much of that

[@WWIIMetalDetecting]

Cool find, when you not expected it. Zippo's are collectebles, mabey you should look for a forum about them. Thanks for watching! WWIIMD
