[@wigglewiggle3789]

It is stinking hot where I live, but watching you shiver made me feel cold. I feel like I am watching a video game when you break out the underwater ROV, and I am making hand and head gestures everytime you try to grab something with it. I must look like I am having a fit. Haha. The stress of 'will he get it or not', is maddening. It must be a nightmare for you. Love it. Awesome vid. Take care brother.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

How cool to read and thanks for that my friend.

[@legionitalia309]

The rusty item at 13:46 looks like a cast iron inline engine block that’s upside down. Probably a little too big for the ROV to lift though lol.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

That could be it and yes that would be to tough for it. Thanks

[@alfredsletten7380]

I was thinking an engine manifold

[@davidschwartz5127]

could the ROV carry a hook down there with a line on it and you could hook it and pull it up, that looked interesting to me also.

[@amandahanson8188]

My immediate thoughts were that it was an engine block too,upside-down with the crank journals exposed. It may have had a cracked block or bad cylinders or even a thrown rod through the side to warrant dumping it the way they did. I would love to know what it originally came from but thats the old car fanatic in me talking.

[@anthonyroberts7718]

I keep telling you this and you may not remember me with so many supporters you have, I am amazed every time you recover a plate. It’s mind blowing to me that complete plates, bowls and cups are just laying out there. Am just amazed seeing them. Your so lucky to have companies that support you and your channel with such great equipment to do all these exploration. You did a great job operating the ROV in these conditions. While the ice on top of the water probably stop the waves on top, did it increase the current under the water? Am sure operating an underwater ROV is more difficult than it looks. I enjoy your channel so much.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes there are actually quite a few around and once we found more than 10 at one location. Thanks and greetings from us.

[@paulhoffman6371]

HH, an additional modification idea: Grip pads on the armature for stronger more slip-resistant grabs. Oh, and LOL, a good pair of thermal touch-sensitive gloves.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i have some rubber glue o there already and seems to work fine :) Thanks Paul

[@robertdraper7258]

If they had a limited pivot point around Center of the grab pass then they will allow for different size items, rubber grab pads would definitely improve the hold ability. Great idea to add that feature to your ROV! I almost cried when you said that the bottle had fallen off, but the plate certainly made up for freezing out there that day. Thanks for taking us on an underwater adventure!

[@nealyplumgamer2464]

Amazing. Like I got all excited when you flipped over the plate, but actually being there turning it over must feel incredible! Great job!

I must say a “Nail biting episode”, but hey a few obstacles and minor mishaps and you were extremely successful HH. You sure experience a lot of adverse conditions, but always come out positive and successful. Relieved to hear that you didn't freeze your butt off. Gotta love those long johns. Really enjoy your sense of humour/humor - humour/humor apparently signifies intelligence. You can complain/natter away to your heart's desire as long as you keep bringing us WW2 History adventures. :) Kinda like it as it adds to the adventure/entertainment. Puh, it's a good thing you didn't lose the ROV, as it sounds like it was touch and go. Yes, thanks QIC for lending that magnificent piece of technology. I have to say that one of my favourite/favorite WW2 Historical sites are the ones with the Luftwaffe connection. Couldn't believe my eyes when you lucked upon the 1941 German Luftwaffe Plate. What can I say, it's exquisite! You did an terrific job of cleaning it up. A lot of elbow grease was involved. What a beauty! Looking forward to the other secret item you found there. I am very anxious to see the video on the submarine harbour/harbor, in part because of your history as an ex submarine helmsman HH. Thank you again HH for going out there and weathering all of the elements, in order to bring us WW2 History. We appreciate it. Please stay safe, and yes of course keep smiling.

There is a source for aluminum grappling hook/grabbers on eBay that tighten when the cord is pulled. You could use the ROV to attach the hook or grabber to heavier objects. You you pick up heavier objects than your ROV can pick up.

Another amazing adventure, HH! I don't like seeing you get that chilled but I sincerely appreciate all your efforts to show us the remnants of history all around you! Perhaps you need some better winter garments? Where I live in the US the first thing my family learned from the locals to deal with the arboreal cold winter temperatures is to dress in multiple layers. It's -17° C outside right now but with the calculated wind chill it's -27° C (about 5.5 meters per second.) I should mention that this is mild for this time of year in this region!

that's a great fun device and I'm glad to see how you've modified the grippers, they look easy to work with so more mods should be pretty easy as you see fit to make them,it seems like it definitely needs more powerful motors to recover heavy stuff though, hopefully they have upgraded stronger thrusters for the future.bundle up toasty warm and be safe out there on the ice!!!!! we have these chemical hand warmers here in the US, hopefully you can get them at a hunting or sporting gear store locally.if you're unfamiliar with them their multi layer plastic bags with a fast acting heating element of chemicals,you pop one of the small bags inside of another activating the heater for a few hours.you can put it in your gloves,pockets,socks for instant heat,they work fantastic!!!or you can get some hunting socks that are battery powered.thanks again!!!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Interesting and thanks for watching.

[@2Jim2u]

Good idea and try. Limitations are the strength of that little ROVs jaws and the pulling power of the fan blades. The issue I see you having is that you need to have object within jaws of grapple to disconnect after grabbing, said object and having a separate line to itself, thereby allowing you to lift free of ROV. ROV should only be a means to get whatever you're using as a means to clamp around object to the object itself, including separate rope.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

You know , you just got a a good idea and i will work on something here. Thanks Jim.

Great video, many thanks! Can you, please, tell me how much time Fifish V6 will be able to work at very low temperatures (2-12 degrees Celsius, 6 degrees Celsius on average). We plan to work in coastal marine waters from boat at 10-20 meters depth, 1-2 knots speed, with episodic photo and video shooting and taking measurements with laser pointer. Going to use "Distance control" feature to keep constant distance from bottom. Manufacturer advertises "run the underwater drone up to 3 knots for up to 4 hours on one single charge". I suspect for cold waters operating time and workload outlined above operating time will decrease to as little as 1 hour. Am I right on that? Motors and Battery Maintenance Guide by Qysea explains that operator needs to soak and clean V6 with clean fresh water after every dive. We can not do this cleaning on our small boat unfortunately. So we will have to return to land base station to clean V6 with fresh water. And only after this cleaning, as Qysea documentation explains, we can recharge battery. This makes our survey very inefficient: 1 (?) hour ROV operation - run to land base station - clean - recharge - back to survey where we left - another 1 (?) hour ROV operation - .... Can you, please, correct me I am wrong with all these assumptions. Are there any workarounds to increase survey productivity (ROV operation time per day). Thanks!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

in my experience the fifish v6s will run at least 3 hours in cold water , at least. you can charge in any state you like. Soaking is to prevent thrusters from accumulating salt particles that can jam / freeze any type of underwater thruster. the uit is a impressive tool if you ask me. Thanks

Hi. Great video. One suggestion for your next underwater adventure. Have you ever thought of using a mesh bag (similar to a fishing net) to gather and haul to the surface using muscle power rather than battery power? Some kind of webbed carrying sack, tied with paracord, sitting on the sea floor. As you collect your treasures into the weighted bag, you can haul to the surface many items rather than one item at a time. This method was, or is, used by deep sea treasure hunters to maximize time and effort in the water allowing for the use of arm strength to bring multiple items to the surface. In a similar vain, have you considered a tethered grappling hook, dropped into place by your ROV/UAV? It is easy for me to "armchair quarterback", sitting indoors with a hot cup of coffee and dry socks, but I have had the occasion to go ice fishing and know what it is like to have wet hands at -10C or -20C. These suggestions may be too ambitious and too cumbersome, but they are food for thought. Good luck on your next adventure.

Well worth the freezing effort it took! Amazes me each time when you find complete porcelain pieces with the german markings and dates 80 years later!

Well one good thing with ceramics is that they seem to last forever. Wait it is made of rocks so that could be why we still have mountains millions of years old :) Thanks.

You should invest in some cold weather divers gloves to help you. Thankfully your great supporter allowed you to get a heater to help. Am sure being on the coast in Europe it’s really cold in the winter time. Cold weather gear is going to be your best friend on days like this.

yes great to have that portable oven with us and thanks for watching again.

I looked at the temperature on your monitor and it read 4c. if you were right about the temperature of the air, it was warmer underwater! Congratulations on the bowl!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

You are correct and it was around - 7 dgr C in the air if i remember correct.
