WW2 trenches and mortars. ( German location )

[@charleskettering2626]

Thanks for another great video. One thing I really like about your videos is the nice balance between narration and actually finding artifacts, not fifteen minutes of talk and two minutes of digging.

[@jacobbaese868]

So cool to see all these old artifacts from such an important event in the world

[@joebrown1382]

You have one of the best channels of it's kind. Relic digging, drone footage & bunker tours you have it all.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Joe

[@Nordvind78]

That last mortar tip you found was in very good shape.Awesome to see all things so clean after,all the details. Thanks for bringing some parts of history even closer to us :D

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes it was very Nice. Will look more in that area. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@beverleymacdonald1352]

Gosh those relics cleaned up beautifully, love all the information you share with us. Thank you.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you like them and love to share with you.

[@beverleymacdonald1352]

Such an interesting location with awesome artifacts found.the fuse tops are amazing to see!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you enjoyed

[@Quadflash]

Your hand-drawn maps bring a clearer sense of the events that took place at a location. Thanks for your diligent curating of the fascinating WWll history that you find.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks David

[@ArcAudios77]

Excellent work, another great Dig in a worthwhile location. Really enjoyed the items analysis following cleaning. Top Class. Best wishes WW2HistoryHunter

[@Nonayabizness360]

Always great finds! Love watching. my husband is a history buff and is always excited to see the items!

[@larryjohnson1966]

Wow, that area is awesome. Just activated the notification button, so I will be sure to watch the very next trip. Great Job!

[@WalkerBulldog19]

always doing your best to do this to entertain us

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

TRying my best and thanks

[@WalkerBulldog19]

WW2HistoryHunter can you subscribe to me please

[@Sofia-vq7ud]

Captain Dead Man I will

[@jacobkuykendall5380]

This was really cool and well done. I personally like the episodes where you find ammo and personal items together. Humanizes the Nazi in a way I haven't seen before. Thank you for your time and effort sir!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Jacob

[@thierry2357]

In my opinion the iron bar could be a key for the dismantling of tires. The fact that you bring so many(much) of details to places and place which you visit gives a real interest to your videos. Continue like that, I adore.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

could be. Thanks for taking time to comment and watch.

[@kitebabe05]

I always get goose bumps when I consider that there our grandfathers (my grandfather was on the italy front) had to fight for their bare lives. Thank you for your informative and interesting videos.

[@PvtRyan-ke4of]

Always entertaining to watch your videos. I started metal detecting myself, because of your videos. I recently have found ~80 Bundeswehr training cartides

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great to read that and thanks Ryan

[@jrm8206]

Nice finds. You are getting better every video. Keep it up!

[@anthonyroberts7718]

Looking at this area you wouldn’t think there would be anything there but you’ve found a lot of nice small items. The crowbar and iron ring are a different story. Something to scratch your head over wondering why they are there. You do a wonderful job cleaning all the Ute you find.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Very true and you never know what is going to be in the ground :) Thanks Anthony.

[@neilphillips162]

Great finds my friend and excellent filming as always , , it would be great to see you cleaning up some of these items with your blaster, , , and also it will show people the different stages of cleaning, thanks for the upload atb neil.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Hope to do a video like that. Thanks

[@RandyLayman]

Great, was hoping for a new video soon, and saw a notification pop up! Finally got my wife interested too!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

good stuff Randy and Greetings from us.

[@ar15rich]

[@srhornung]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@leespender4774]

Great channel subscribed i wish i could find things like that here in Australia

[@russelder9743]

Very nice finds.........thanks for taking me along

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks my friend.

[@colleenpriest7838]

Very very nice on those mortar tips/fuses?? That last one is extremely nice. Thanks for streaming this

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great small items found and thanks Colleen :)

[@PearsonHurst]

You should absolutely do a video about cleaning and preserving your finds. Those fuzes came out looking GREAT!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i will do that . Thanks

[@DerekNaylor]

great finds good working out the history :)) ..what do you clean the finds with they come up really well

[@wolfsmith2865]

You found a nice selection of artifacts, i love those fuzes.

[@jackdaniels8898]

Great video as always. I am curious, after the fighting stopped in an area or when the war was over, were there organized efforts to go through and clean up areas like this? Or was it up to the locals who perhaps were interested in getting money for scrap metal? Or all of the above? How about as related to the area shown in this video?

[@davidhopper1087]

Excellent video . Love the fuse with all the splayed ends . Looking forward to your next hunt .

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Highly appreciated and Greetings from WW2HH.

[@anthonyroberts7718]

I’ve been digging my own trench today. It’s not a running trench from one position to another but for a water line. 60 feet long,a foot wide and 15 inches deep. I can tell you one thing, it ain’t easy lol. I would be a terrible POW lol. With fine threads I wonder how many fuses got cross threaded? Some very odd finds but interesting never the less. You’ve done this for so long that you know pretty much where to look. Am waiting on a part for my truck and then am taking my grandson out to metal detect. Hope he gets interested in it. Am sitting in my shop and starting to feel like you, I’ve got mosquitoes flying around me lol. Appreciate you sharing your passion with us. I feel I’ve made a long distance friend.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Agree Anthony those trenches are not easy to dig at all. done that myself , 42 meters long and hated it for many days after :) Thanks my friend and take care :)

[@keithcraig7736]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks 👍

[@spikeriches8821]

Another cracking video mate. miss the little history hunter though

[@Terrywaites]

Really love your videos mate , watched every one! keep them coming.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Will do Terry

[@MinecraftNoprob]

Hi! How do you clean your aluminum finds?

[@francisjohnification]

Nismo Hi Nismo. I don't know what WWHH uses but I have cleaned up many aluminium fuses such as this and I use a circular wires brush in an electric drill. They come out looking exactly like this. You can use a variety of wires brushes. Some are very stiff bristles some are more soft. Stiff hard bristles better for steel. They are quite cheap so get selection and experiment. Kind regards. Francis.

[@welshy8216]

looks like he uses a glass bead blast, citric acid & oven pride another good one for cleaning metal too

[@francisjohnification]

welshv5er Yep, I concur. Welsh5er. Glass or sand blasting. I put that in a later comment. Not heard of oven pride though mate. Will give your idea a go. Cheers. Kind regards. Francis.

[@alanjackson2710]

Love your vids keep them coming 👍👍👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Will do ALan

[@joebrown1382]

WOW that one morter tip was outstanding piece.

Holy maddona great hunts keep producing these films!!👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank You for wathing and for taking time to comment.

[@timovaneijkelenborg472]

Nice finds again and always good explaind. What do you use for cleaning the fuses. I find a lot of those in northern France but havent cleande them yet. So like to find out how you do this

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There are many way to do this. One way could be acid , one way could be ultra-Sonic cleaning or maye gentle soft blasting With soda. Thanks for watching.

[@robertshemory3541]

Looking forward to seeing more history.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Will do our very best my friend :)

[@ElementalMassage]

Great job with the research aspect, and piecing together what happened.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great explore and thanks :)

[@jasonjohnstone686]

Nicely done video, Thanks for sharing with us.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

GLad you liked it Jason. Thanks

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

I really, really liked your music in the intro segment! Do you have a soundcloud channel or somewhere we can listen to your original music? You are my history fix and I really enjoy listening to your history knowledge, or as I call it, my daily history fix.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

no i dont , i will look into that as many People ask for my Music , strange enough. Thanks

[@Gavin-wu5ce]

These videos are so entertaining and thanks for the good content.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great comment and thank for that.

[@peteranderson878]

you really make the relics look nice

[@marcow.2031]

Very nice video as always, just Btw - how do you orientate in the woods? Bcuz I don't think phones will work very well there right?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i use a old style Compass actually. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesgibbs7872]

The technical details of the armaments and the conjecture of a possible flanking bring life and fullness of understanding to the battlefield situation - memories of those long ago warriors are brought forward with honor and respect and a sadness.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you James :)

[@Marty_-nx2rk]

Great finds and you preserving is amazing!

[@JasonLaneZardoz]

keep up the good work.

[@sheogorad1]

It would be nice if you make video about that, how you clean those mortar/arty relics? thanks for nice vid.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i might show that later. Thanks

[@dge4560]

You are really good at preserving ypur finds :)

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks dennis

[@9las]

It would be very exciting to see you at the siegfried line one day mate!

[@chriswright7536]

Love the vidz mate

[@MrWklaver]

HistoryHunter, My apologies if you have answered this question before but, are you hunting on public or private property in this video? How do you get permission to go thru the property?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

All Depends on location and owners. Thanks for watching.

[@Martin-rc4iy]

Like the little drawings shows the area in which you've been hunting a little clearer Rather than just a tree or piece of grass Look forward to the next encounters. Martymart U.K.

[@zw5509]

Got too reliant on your son and his trusty shovel! Great finds and Video! Thansk

[@EdwardvanBerkum]

thanks a lot history hunter! did you clean the iron lid/ bottom part of a huge canon?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

No i didnt but there were some letters and numbers on it. Thanks

[@johnscally255]

Very Exciting Thank you for sharing.Good Videos.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment.

[@jeffcooper6620]

At the 3:28 mark just as the artifact you have recovered falls from your grasp my attention refocused back to the original point of excavation. It appears to me that there is another clue to the history of the events that took place at this location still in the hole. Are my eyes deceiving me?

[@Two_Smoke_Racing]

Jeff Cooper your right!

[@francisjohnification]

Jeff Cooper Ha, yes. I see it. Well spotted 👍😉

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i think it is just a imprint ? Thanks

[@mayzo7439]

what he said awesome documented history and keeping us entertained finding cool stuff. thanks you.

[@nikonikox]

how you clean your Aluminium and Messing finds? i also find a fuse and Some K98 cassings and i want this clean like you please answer. LG Niko

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

different ways to do. Thanks for watching.

[@nancyvolker3342]

it's the Big Bada Boom! place...awesome. you could make a nice necklaces out of all those shell casings. I think i figured out why there is a crowbar by the incubator. someone was trying to pry open an egg with the crowbar that they took out of the incubator for a really awesome omelette. you found some nice little things today it was fun to watch thanks for the video...

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for comment and for watching Nancy

[@unclemooby]

Always a pleasure sir!

[@ww2abandonedcampshelby665]

I explore world war two camp Shelby, ms. and find shells, hulls, coins, trenches and such. I enjoy your videos.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@p.a.x1297]

how do you clean your artillery Shell fragments? They really look good!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

different kinds of Methods. Here i think i used soda blasting and some acid. Thanks

[@Anonymous-lo4gx]

Do you have a link where you explain your cleaning/preservation instructions?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There will be videos of that coming up in the future i hope. Thanks

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Have searched for HS incubator co and together with the word crowbar. But could not find anything.

[@ArcAudios77]

Hot Steam Incubator was probably used to clean Weapons or assemblies within weapon systems that were covered in mud and dirt.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for that and Greetings my friend.

[@davidoakley9978]

Omg you hit the jackpot what a dream amazing just amazing find. I was so excited when I looked and you said it was the magazine just wonderful over 70 years ago and the condition is amazing well done sir well done as always I wait with excitement for your next instalment 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏👌

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks a lot David and greetings from us.

[@legionitalia309]

Waffenamt waa288 is associated with Brennabor-Werke A.G. Out of Brandenburg/Havel who are known artillery/mortar shell makers. If it is indeed waa 288, it was hard to make out. Great video as usual!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@scopex2749]

10:41 is a TYRE LEVER for changing vehicle tyres. 12:21 amazing find!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Cool and loved that place. Thanks.

[@richardevppro3980]

Again my friend thank you for your expert on the finds...thank you

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for taking time to watch.

[@stu-j]

Keep up the good work ww2 history in the making

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Stu

[@mariendeleeuw6537]

How do you clean your finds?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Different Methods for different Things. Thanks

[@Sabaton62]

Nice 👍 Super Cool.

[@oscar_orcus1523]

Maybe you can making videos about the cleaning process of the things that you found?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i will do that just dont know when. Thanks

[@argonaut1462]

How do you clean your relics?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

in many way. Will make a video of it later. Thanks

[@ninus17]

that fuse is an amazing find :)

[@ShellyAnn1a]

Love your technical discription at 3:45, a"electrical thingy" just as bad as we were with "thing-a-ma-bob" or "waj-ya-ma-call it." I just could not resist. - - Shelly Ann

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

he he , just as i like it :)

[@emilsezerins3126]

How did you clean your mortar pieces so well? I've got a K98 bayonet, that isn't nowhere near as clean using electrolysis

[@michielderuyter6011]

Emīls Ezeriņš yes. that was my question also. so clean.

[@francisjohnification]

Yeet N Skeet Hi. Just a quick one about cleaning. Electrolysis not always so good on non ferrous (brass, copper, aluminium). Fine for steel. I find citric acid It's a powder and very cheap/safe to use. Dissolved in water. Electric drill with wire brush very efficient. I don't know what WWHH used here but it looks like sand blasting. It's excellent for this kind of stuff but not everyone has one of these. Hope this helps. Good luck. Regards. Francis.

[@francisjohnification]

Yeet N Skeet Definitely NOT painted 😂

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i use different kinds of techniques restoring them. Thanks

[@sloanchampion85]

What do you clean your finds with? Thanks

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

All kinds of remedy and Tools you could say. Thanks for watching.

[@richardwarnock2789]

they could made to think the enemy was coming where the mortor fire was directed when they come from the other right side or from behind then again just a guess like that thing with maybe a little ezybake oven an someone wanted to peek an something came out that they couldn't put back in ?!! just a thought anyways thanks nice video

[@originalrecipe7988]

So is every place you visit a spot where German soldiers use to roam? And when you come across mines, are you not frightened that it could possibly go off? Or are there any still out there set up? Awesome videos BTW, really enjoy seeing items and gadgets used in WW2.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i am visiting many locations and mines could be in any of them and they could be Dangerous yes :) Thanks for watching.

[@kevinWW2E]

really nice finds!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Absolutely AMAZING finds! So jealous, but, very cool!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you liked it and Greetings from us :)

[@jamisonhurley4078]

Do you sell your dioramas? I would love to buy one.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i could build you one if you would like to donate to my work. Thanks

[@jamisonhurley4078]

WW2HistoryHunter how do I contact you?

[@rhetc.9785]

At 2:03 it's the handle of a toy knife on a stick. So most likely a kids spear.

[@Captdingle]

Ok, after some digging; Cyphers Incubator Co. was the largest manufacturer of mechanical poultry stuff in the US in the 1930's. From images I've seen, my best guess is it's a pulley or flywheel or something from a piece of poultry farming equipment. How it got there is anyone's guess :) Thanks for all the vids!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great feeedback and thanks for watching.

[@Aintence]

What metal detector are you using?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

here it is a Macro Racer. Thanks

[@Hawk89gt]

Great videos!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Larry

[@sprocket580]

did you ever find out what the incubator metal thing was?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

no , it is a mystery. Thanks

[@clementvielh8766]

Hello history Hunter your find after the cartridges was used in the tanks of American or German vehicles to control the level of fuel . I have in my jeep willys the same thing ! Thank you for your amazing videos 😉

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

cool feedback and thanks.

[@arjanwilbie2511]

Around 3.37, it looks like a fuel tank sender.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i agree , looks like it.

[@Mercmad]

It is, a fuel tank sender i restore Vintage mercedes cars for a living and it is the same as the bosch lever type used until 1964

[@jonbicho9840]

I thought the first round object you found was a mine. Have you ever found any large live ordinance that you had to call for explosive disposal experts?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes , many times. Thanks

[@mercenary-mb309]

Which metal detector do you use?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

here a Macro Racer. Thanks
