[@Alexthemudlark]

[@shaunlaverick5793]

Great little video from you both

[@TrueVikings]

Thanks shaun!

[@SaltwaterSean]

Love it boys!

[@TrueVikings]

Thank you Sean!

[@achilliaroberso9366]

Only for the brave ... Germans usually leave lots of loot .. great content as always ... stay safe you 2 Vikings . 👍

[@TrueVikings]

Thank you Achillia! More german stuff in next week's video! Stay safe you too :)

[@kevinstrickland4881]

Its great to see you guys out detecting again. Great plan of attack on the area you're in. Crazy how it stays light out for 24 hrs a day!!#

[@TrueVikings]

Detecting is always the best. You get used to the light, but in the winter it will be dark 24h too. That is a bit worse. Thanks for watching Kevin :)

[@clauverfalcon3430]

Great video, very informative .

Siitä tietää että on Suomalainen kyseessä kun on saanut niin tarpeekseen hyttysistä, ettei jaksa enään välittää.

[@TrueVikings]

Näin on 😂👍

[@darthtraya32]

Vittu ihan sama pistäkööt🤣🤣

[@aaronbeatty1153]

Nice finds. Cheers

[@TrueVikings]

Thanks brother. Cheers 👍

[@JontuuPresent]

6:09 dont stab the ground like that, nobody cleared the land mines in finland, they are still there and going off every year

[@hardyakka6200]

Well done. Good finds did you look at the bottoms of those cartridges to see where they were made the year and the calibre? Goodness me. Nice countryside not sure if I would like to fight there though.

[@TrueVikings]

Thanks yakka. Most of the casings were made in 1940-43. Some had the finnish ammo factory VPT stamped on them ( Valtion PatruunaTehdas, State ammo Factory). Some had random letters and numbers to our untrained eyes. Probably german ammo?

[@ToeJuice]

I think that the 9mm cartidges you found was from a suomi kp31, considering every other rifle cartidge in the area was finnish

[@russvoysey6254]

Water....🤣

[@TrueVikings]

Definitely ;)

[@moonliteX]

Missä vuijeminjoki sijaitsee?

[@globaleightfiveone1113]

I learned so much about history from you guys!

[@TrueVikings]

Thanks Global! We love talking about history!

[@xisotopex]

you guys must be immune to mosquitos

[@TrueVikings]

What mosquitoes? :D

[@urho5487]

There is no mosquitoes in lapland

[@airsofter123]

suomi perkele torilla tavataan

[@TrueVikings]

Näin tehdään 😂

[@mystage11]

Is it really that light at midnight there ? Please explain.

[@TrueVikings]

It really is that light in the summer months. The sun does not set. But in the winter it's other way around and the sun does not rise in a month. 😅

[@mystage11]

True Vikings thanks for the reply . I did not know that this happened in your part of the world . I am from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 . I learned something new . I love your videos.

[@TrueVikings]

Yes, it is only in the far north. Glad you like our videos. Greetings to Canada. 👍

[@gordonjones4705]

Love stuff on ww2

[@TrueVikings]

So do we! We are detecting a lot of ww2 places right now. Much more videos to come :)

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

Gotta be careful in these places. Since there can be unexploded bombs.

[@TrueVikings]

True that 👍

[@robinplays4424]

[@robinplays4424]

Hyvä video! laitan liken äxd

[@roskcity]

Hey man did you find anything in Eastern Finland? That's where the winter war took place.

[@TrueVikings]

We have some videos from Eastern Finland. You should check them out. But then our goal has not been to find WW2 items.

[@darthtraya32]

Tarviiko näihin alueisiin hakea mitään lupia?

[@egigib...luulisin]

Ei, kun kuitenkin julkinen metsä.

[@JK-il9up]

Do more videos from finnish ww2 battlefields!

[@TrueVikings]

There are plans to do that still this summer 👍
