WW2 Metal Detecting - Hürtgen Forest

[@williamsoileau1802]

The smallest finds often speak the loudest, personal items like toothbrushes, razors,pocket knives, etc...are the emotional things. I've been collecting militaria since I was 5, now JUST my uniform collection has reached 519 from 1747 to the mid 1980s, german pocket bibles, pay books, hand drawn maps, personal diaries, mail, etc... every military post I was stationed always a pawns shop right there, I bought an original SS type ll camouflage smock with helmet cover and a U.S.M1910 t handle shovel at a yard sale, the lady sold the smock for 5.00 as an old hunting jacket and the cover as a rain cap, 2.00 for the shovel. I nearly passed out cold. Be safe in the digging, try to buy some small garden tools and snips, safer in digging than a shovel. Happy trails my friend

Thanks for your feedback, and indeed personal finds are the best to find. And what luck you had at the yard sale. cheers

[@ssherrierable]

Actually none of them speak loud or quiet, they aren’t alive.

[@RageCityBiscuit]

The second part of the gas mask you found is called the canister.

[@Rickkert2000]

Awesome finds man! You guys had a good day👌🏻

[@AfterWarDiggers]

We certainly had a nice day, any search day is already nice when we find something interesting. And also because we are constantly in nature :D

[@AfterWarDiggers]

Nice, be careful mines are the last thing you want to encounter

[@jarjarbinkie8938]

Yesssaaaa!!

[@vystrelov]

Hello, is it worth it to go metal fishing in this forest?

[@AfterWarDiggers]

Hi maybe there is something to by found, only there is almost no water there and I have never done it myself

[@vystrelov]

@@AfterWarDiggers have you seen any lakes there or something smaller? Or is metal detecting better in that area?

[@AfterWarDiggers]

Yes there are some rivers but my opinion is that you find more with a metal detector

[@vystrelov]

@@AfterWarDiggers alright, thanks, do u have a good metal detector to buy?

[@AfterWarDiggers]

I do not have a detector for sale but the Garret ace 400i is a very good one to start with, I started with this myself.

[@morotoro8023]

Buenas relliquias ok.

[@AfterWarDiggers]

gracias amigo :)

[@arienshir265]

Is the button with the US on it rare?

[@AfterWarDiggers]

It is rare to find in the Hürtgen Forest, Normally you find them around airfields and camps of the Americans

[@cblubb]

PLEASE contact authorities when finding explosives, DON´T leave them there sitting in the ground

[@AfterWarDiggers]

We always do that, after we put them back they are reported
