Never seen someone fishing for artillery shells before! :) The smoke shell and case looked like they were dumped in there a week ago. Amazing preservation. I don't even know how I ended up here but will sub, really cool stuff.
There are some really interesting ammo in there. They seem to be 15cm howitzer ammo. The ones with the clear Nb labeling are smoke, but the most interesting one out of all of them was the "FES" labeled ammunition. It was used in conjunction with a rocket assisted round to fly a lot further then normal shells.
@@Earth11111 yes but under pressure it is isolated because the particles mixed with water in an explicit status? Pressing so hard that no oxygen can touch that thing, its like woodfence: the" Fence stand" doesnt get rotten away in the ground just where that oxygen co2 comes together xd (sry for my bad english)
My grandfather fought at Leningrad as a Dutch volunteer with the waffen ss. He was 17 when he was at the front.. he survived most of his comrades did not.. It was hell he said and no one wanted to be there..
Not to be a bad person but he did not do annything wrong tho he did fight on the wrong side but he eventuelt Got you as a Grand child be happy that he survived so you came to be
My great grandfather was a Hungarian who drove a half track with a mg34 on it. He told me when I joined the Army at 18 the nightmares he had. He would mow countless Russians down and they haunted them.
The image at 0:13 sums it up quite appropriately! The birds nest with eggs laid, awaiting the hatching of new life, and the multitude of high velocity ammunition, which once 'hatched' from its casing goes on with the ending of life...
It usually has more to do with the oxygen content in the water. I assume temperature plays a part on all the micro organisms that would otherwise have a feast.
@@azwris I'm not certain iron & steel are of better qualities nowadays. We probably have a better or more suited range for a lot of applications though. One sure thing though, is that the steel used for ammo was top quality. When chemically restauring rusted parts you get to see the microstructure of the steel and well... I'm not a material engineer but the steel from a simple 20mm is quite interesting compared to say a steel pipe. But like you, I'm more impressed by the accessories than the shells themselves. 75 year old wood cases that look as if they were made yesterday is always amazing :)
@@herrhaber9076 A lot of steel comes from recycled one these days. In automobile as well. This is not of the same durability for sure. I have personal experience but then again each case can be different. Thank you for your comments and yes, the accessories are awesome. They were the reason of my initial post. Awesome stuff!
Those shells are indeed dangerous and that looks like back-breaking work. but so well-preserved! I guess it's better to have them out of that frozen lake.
Some of those has "Nb" sign which means they're smoke projectiles. i'm not saying they're not dangerous but they still explode to create a lot of smoke
Those ones were fairly safe to handle. Nonetheless they show high disregard for safety while handling explosives and ammunition in all of their videos. Prime example in this one, is him shaking the smoke shell out of casing while his face was directly above the front of projectile. If that gone of he'll be permanently blind in best case scenario, missing his head in worst.
Some shells had the letters FES or FEW appended to their name. This indicated that the drive ring of the shell was made of sintered iron and rolled iron, respectively.
I always find it interesting the time of year that they use to get to areas that otherwise would be impossible to get to when not completely frozen over.
Schneider shell of 1916 are typical of French shell, captured devices used by the german army. All the shell found are still highly explosige and may be instable after all these years.
it is more expensive if they blow up on transport. Yes, these transport riggs had been and are still standard not only in our German army. These artillery amo had been transportet thousands of miles from Germany by train, horse wagons (most transport in the eastern theatre had been done with horse waggons) and lorries and that had been a very bumpy business. Without these riggs/boxes everything would have blown up.
Sehr interessante Videos. Was man nicht noch so alles vom 2. WK findet. Mich interessiert was ihr mit Erkennungsmarken von gefallenen Soldaten macht. Setzt ihr euch mit der Kriegsgräberfürsorge in Verbindung? Das wäre dann eine gute Sache.
Those grenades are dangerous even after 80 years resting in the river. I would leave them were they are. No warning, just BOOM. The mishap never sleep...
One day Igor went out in the woods and found some old stuff, as he was digging he said: "Hey guys check it out its a German landmine and lots of bombsssKAAAABOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and that was the end of old Igor
The artillery shells have not yet been fired, so they are not duds. This means that the fuze has not yet been sharpened and the ignition chain has not yet closed. Such ammunition is quite safe to handle and does not explode spontaneously. The fact that the ammunition has not yet been fired can be seen very well from the untouched drive bands of the grenade. After firing, the grooves and fields of the barrel are embossed into the drive band. Ammunition that has already been fired is much more dangerous because the ignition chain has already been set in motion. I wouldn't touch that ammo.
Unless you severely mishandle them no. In this video prime example of mishandling was him shaking the shell out of the casing while his face was directly over the point of it. But they mishandle ammo and explosives in all their videos. I guess it's a case of overconfidence due to no accidents yet. However these guys are great and do have awesome finds
@@joshorange3087 We have a bomb in the pond, when our town was bombed by the Americans, few people know about it and no one took it out, it is difficult to access. Since it is also in the mud, it will be functional!
Remember though. Once a Year, one people got killed by a buried shell from the WWII in Germany. About the rest of the Eastern front countries, I do not know, but it would probably be som people even there. So please be careful...

Amazing finds guys 👍. You all did amazing hard work to recover those items. I wish I could find stuff like that with so much military history.
Excelente hallazgos de la WWII en buena conservación, vídeo ok.
That’s awesome how you got the Pike. 👏👏👏
Lookin for WW2 weapons and come up with that fat Jack-Fish heading out for the fry pan. (2:30) priceless.
Unbelievable accessories. Even better than the actual shells. And the rust is minor due to the oil in the water as it seems. Keep the great work guys!

Just beautiful. awesome finds. good luck and hunt.

Some truly incredible finds !
Caught a pike with an ice hook, while searching for ww2 stuff.. That's a pretty nice catch

Incrível ver esses achado 👍🇧🇷
"The German oil barrel, was very hard to get ahold of"
Had me a chuckle with this unintentional pun.
WOW that stuff is pristine.
A Great video 😏👍 and a awesome finds 🔥💯🔥
You guys must be so brave to handle those munitions without worrying about an explosion 💥.
Bruh what
@IKLEANV You are completely right. Look in 14:48 a thin cable is attached to the item, so it won't get lost while placed in water.
Another great video.stay safe many thanks.👍
Great video some good finds

Щука приплыла из-за "замора". Вода подо льдом была очень бедна кислородом, а вы сделали лунку, и щука приплыла подышать.

Even the packaging for the ammunition of the Krauts is over engineered !
my guy, thats the best hand held pike catch Ive ever seen out of the ice. You would get 100x more views from that clip on a fishing site.
That's an interesting fishing method you use there! 😲😆Best wishes and friendship from England
Wow, remarkable condition.
Mantap bang.....aku suka sekali ...mengingatkan ku pd jaman perang dulu dari indonesia
What happens to the shells?
Do you leave them on the bank and inform the authorities about the location?
was wondering the same thing
im guessing the russian army is in need of munitions
Wow great video this should go viral 👏
Wow the stuff are very good preserved
Irony Z markings.
I can’t believe you just pulled that pile out randomly that was amazing
May I just ask, what will you do with those explosives when you find them?
I love your channel
👍
I guess this pike may also be considered a shellfish.
Hello what what extending pole with magnet are you using?
Those are really well preserved
Well done with the 🐟!
Nice catch, where did you find that Special Ice Fishing Lure
go on with the chanel👍
Are you doing this for personal purpose or for government?
picking up shells with a magnet..nek minnit..BOOOOM
The HE shell found mark from 1916 were made by schneider a French company probably for the 105mm mle1913
Keep the horseshoe , means " good luck "
Amazing
Cold work!
That bucket is a perfect example of "They don't make them like they used to"
Lol your laugh tho man it was good to hear
Muitas munições 👍👍👍😎
what do you do with the munitions?
Did the Germans manufacture this type of cage for every artillery grenade? That sounds very expensive.
it is more expensive if they blow up on transport. Yes, these transport riggs had been and are still standard not only in our German army.

Water is 8 pounds a gallon so bravo to you gentlemen!
What do you all do with the stuff you find?
What type of magnets are used. Almost unbelievable condition of the finds, like new.
Neodymium magnets. Very strong and very expensive!
Can you please tell me where is this place?
How will you dispose of the projectiles?
in the water
Now you got plenty of ammo for the zombie apocalypse :D

at 3.36 is that live ammo
Yeah a German Z Bomb!
maybe museam would want the in package ones they would be cool to display
2:30 this is magnet fishing ? :D
Thought he was doin a catch & release smoke shell for a sec there
Will those artillery shells still explode or do they also have an expiry date?
By then I'm like 90% sure every component of those bombs have rotted/rusted away
