You know any good sites in east Germany because if I go to the Ardennes or hurtgen forest I think they are already looted

[@Jake_J_M]

One recommendation for your website, perhaps a darker text color would benefit viewers as a contrast to the light background would make it easier to see

I couldn't help but think about my great uncle who jumped in Operation Market Garden....an Irishman frkm Northern Ireland, he lied about his age and enlisted into the British Army when he was 16 years old. To make extra money, he volunteered for an unknown duty....the Parachute Regiment. Unfortunately, he didn't come home with any of his gear because he was very badly injured (I believe during Market Garden) and was evacuated....he volunteered to go on a patrol after one of the other guys refused and lost half of one leg, the kneecap of the other and a few fingers. He didn't talk much about the war unless he had a few beers and a bit of whiskey in him, but then he would tell me a few stories....may he RIP!

[@AN-nt3uv]

Hey guys, VSF 90 means, it was produced by Vereinigte Silberwaren Fabriken Düsseldorf and is unfortunately only silver plated, not massive silver. But still a nice find....and Gustav Barthel was a company producing in Dresden these blowtorches since 1875 until 1945 and also some time after that during the GDR period. The one you found might be from the 30ies and such eventually from German troops.

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for the additional information! Very cool to hear.

[@noahellis3672]

Great job on the research. When others like you provide that necessary piece to the puzzle or clue to what something means it just adds so much more to these videos. Thanks.

[@AN-nt3uv]

@@noahellis3672 No problem, thanks a lot for your appreciation.

[@bmcg5296]

Man when you go to these places shows the age they kept well and the quick nature reclaimed what was hers before war, and once again hers after.

[@legioniatros]

I believe the Barthel item is a burner assembly for a cooking stove or heater. Fritz Barthel is a Hamburg company which still makes valves and assemblies.

[@History-Secrets]

Great video, so much amazing finds!! Love every single one of them! Even though the helmet was not in the best condition, it's still a helmet with a story! And man.. That canteen is in great condition, congratulations! Can't wait to go detecting again too, it's been too long! Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work! :)

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for watching Nick! Looking forward to more from you as well. Cheers, Chris

[@zw5509]

Very poignant for me. My teacher in Britain parachuted into that area during WW2. Thanks for being so respectful in your digs!

[@zw5509]

@@Yeet53284 interesting?

[@Annoxium]

I love these kinds of videos! I can literally spend hours a day watching these. It makes the second world war feel so real. People tend to forget about what had happened 81 years ago. Also, the Barthel relic you found is produced in Germany and it's a gasoline burner.

[@dubstepsnail2208]

I’m currently sitting on site 29 hours to go already buzzing for this one come on 👍 well excited! Keep up the work!!!

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Will do! Thanks a lot. Only a short wait still.

The silver serving spoon was more than likely taken from a chateau. Even the German war machine wouldn't issue such spoons :).

[@robertbarrett7018]

How cool would it be to find a full LP that played just to hear what music they were listening to that would be awesome

[@HipixOFFICIAL]

I imagine Wagner was pretty popular

[@francek105]

I have some relics in good condition from 50'. I have 2 wooden boxes all original from m57 granades, some sort of ammunition box and a gas mask from 50' in good condition in an original pauch with all original stuff in it.

[@iisms1999]

The big spoon at 4:30 is called a ladle!

[@sjd73ss]

I would give anything to spend 1 week digging for ww2 relics almost anything to dig and find some stuff

[@danielhughes3272]

wow man this is really cool!! Im from Australia and I plan on doing some travelling over to Europe and Germany to do some history hunting as WW2 is something I'm really passionate about once I finish my studies for this year, are there any places you can recommend I go, any info is appreciated mate, keep up the good work preserving history!!

[@iminyourmailbox6700]

I’m from Australia too, there are still some training camps near here that aren’t used so maybe you should try going to one of those. I have plans to go metal detecting at a ww2 special forces training camp in the bush near Sydney. Good luck with your metal detecting/ history hunting!

Here I really like the history of World War 2

[@madcarew5168]

That record could be a news recording.

[@jk-76]

That is what I was thinking. That, or it could be looted from a local home.

[@gashead2]

My father in law fought there, he was a British paratrooper and was captured by the Germans. Very interesting to see ground he might have fought on.

[@Fish_terminator]

this channel is my main inspiration to get into medal detecting

[@gfygberyeah]

Please send the LP fragments to an audio engineer and see if you can see if any thing that was recorded is still recoverable!

[@gfygberyeah]

Id love to see whats on it!

[@stefdnk4428]

Actually they Are not LP,s , but 78 records, running 78 rpm . The Lp,s came much later and were 33 rpm. 😊

[@gfygberyeah]

@@stefdnk4428 Thanks for letting me know! I always thought the standard was 33 or 45 rpm, i had no idea lol

[@hellomcflyy]

any sort of tin/can/item that had some sort of paint/graphics on it can be cleaned up with oxalic acid ..without harming the paint......I often use it to clean old rusty (often times completely brown) beer cans - but I imagine it might help with some of your finds - or at least - reading what they had printed on them....

[@hellomcflyy]

or even certain steel/iron items where citric acid/electrolysis might be too strong....

[@Iolis]

The find at 12.46 is Briish 2 inch mortar round. It was a platoon weapon. The Green body with a red band denotes High Explosive. It was propelled out of the barrel by a .303 ballastite cartridge inserted in the tail fin.

Definitely going to be getting some of tour packages. What I'd love more than anything though would be to metal detect with you guys. The WWII era is my favorite bit of history.

[@thomasbrown5081]

Great video chris outstanding fines great to see you back my friend 😀👍

[@jimsregaturntableshifijukebox]

As a young school boy in Methilhill, Fife, Scotland my father witnessed the Royal Military Police harassing a young mother and searching her whole house, looking for her husband, who they said was AWOL (absent without leave) he was actually with his parachute regiment taking part in this. We will remember them. 🙏 Plz see my reply, should have posted it elsewhere on here. 😉

[@jimsregaturntableshifijukebox]

I would also like to remember The 1st, Polish Independent Parachute Brigade, who Trained in East Fife, Scotland and were involved in the same operation, commanded by Major General Stanislaw Sosabowski, as depicted in the film, A Bridge Too Far. We have a memorial garden to them in Leven, Fife, Scotland. Please check out their history, they were badly treated and some may say betrayed. We will remember them. 🙏 On my wee channel, I have a World War Two history playlist, with links to the 1ST Polish Independent Parachute Brigade, for anyone interested. 😉

[@swenstiller5624]

I found this about the marking "V.S.F. 90" . It`s from the company "Vereinigte Silberwaren Fabriken Düsseldorf" . but it`s only "silver plateted"

[@patrickporter6536]

No LP records in 1940s. It would have been a 78 rpm record.

[@dutchdetecting7708]

Great video again, love them! One thing that does bother me is not so much fhe fact that you are selling relics but c’mon man the prices you ask for them are just very high. Unbelievable you ask $60 for a .50 casing...

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks! You might have missed that it includes free shipping, which is $33 to USA and Australia, where most of my customers are. Then I pay for packaging material and I pay 50% tax over any profit at the end of the year. Revenue that remains, as is also clearly indicated at my webshop, is considered support for the channel and will be invested in trips, equipment and subscriptions. If you want the cheapest prices, not knowing where relics originate from, you should attend a military fair.

[@dutchdetecting7708]

That makes it a lot more reasonable indeed. Thanks for the clearification.
