World War II Metal Detecting - Paratooper Relic Hunting on the Western Front
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Team WWIIMD visited last season several battlefields on the former western front in Europe. In the search for war relics we discovered some amazing finds that we will share in our new battlefield research video. Beside a German helmet and paratrooper items, we also found equipment pieces and other interesting things that were left behind in the woods after the war.
Feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks to 'Glider Collection Wolfheze' for identifying some of the relics.

This is awesome stuff guys. Just to be standing where these brave soldgiers fought would be enough for me but you guys take it to the next level. Finding personel items must be tough but for us to see it dug up after 70 years is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for discovering these relics. most of these places you dig look to be where soldiers have fallen. I know many museums and military units would love to have this history back with them.
Thanks Sinder, also many museums don't display that great amount of relics anymore. Today it's all about the ''experience''..
WWII MetalDetecting that stinks.. I know the army would display these items.
Fantastic video gents! I love how you show the pieces you find on the old films.
Thanks Rob! Good to hear you like that.
Wow if I could join you guys in finding all these great relics, I would be shocked, thank you for keeping history alive.
Muy buen video Gracias WWII MetalDetecting
Wow highly produced you all as much film makers as you are detectorists!! Good work keeping the history alive we all learn from this. As a German American I see this war as a good lesson for all of us to learn from and the horrible things are boys had to do to each other. Peace!!
Thanks for watching and your vision James, this shows the war in another dimension.
Greets WWIIMD.
James Stockbauer War is a dark place, no way around it... Also as a German-Jewish-American.. I know crazy combo... War is a place we should *never* go again !
I am absolutely blown away by your videos,much respect. Thank you for posting these,I could watch them all day long.
great videos,, love how you put the history photos in just great thanks
Super,as always
Thanks, good to hear!
@@WWIIMetalDetecting Hallo! Warum sind deine Videos nicht mehr rausgekommen? Hast du einen anderen Kanal? Bitte schreibe mir eine Email !!

Thank you for what you do! It's so important to preserve history. Unfortunately sometimes it's dark history. More importantly future generations can learn from this.
Good to hear, thanks! That is why we do it for.
Ik hou ervan om maar jullie video's te kijken, echt complimenten 👍
This is awesome!! And my friend told me that one of his uncles was one of the parachuters
Excellent video and all items recovered presented with respect as they should be, my sister father-in-law served in the British para's in WW2 so finds relevant to my family. Thank you
I am an American in Bavaria who attempts to metal detect like you guys do. Always such great vids!!!! Keep up the great finds. If you are ever in Bavaria, I would love to join you guys for a day. Dank u wel!
I also LOVE they way that you cut from the artifact to an actual WWII photo that shows that very piece as it was in use! :-)
Thanks, we like that as well! It gets you closer to the relics we found.
the best metal detecting channel.. i like how they show the item in its time.. i enjoy your videos..
Wow! Fantastic! I am addicted to your videos! I will watch them all! Thanks for the great stuff!
Thanks, very good to hear! Enjoy watching.
WWIIMD
Looks like relics from Operation Market Garden in Holland. Awesome!
Excellent videos. I really like how you reference back to the historical footage for reference after showing us your find. Glad I found your channel.
coalman75 Thanks, good to hear!
Very glad I found your channel! Love how you show items in use.
These videos are incredible ,thank you
Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome, another great hunt!
Cool finds, I would love to hunt those battlefield areas.
Good luck in the next hunt, Ash.
Thanks for the kind words Ash!
WWIIMD
You guys should contact Discovery Channel or History Channel about a television show. This would be so awesome. You already have all the basics - finding interesting relics and showing them in context from old war stock footage. Thanks for the great videos.
Really nice of you guys to report the grenade to the authorities.
Great job!. Especially appreciate the comparison of artifacts to historical imagery. While always fascinating such artifact rescue always carries a bit of nostalgia and sadness for the needless waste of war. . . fratricidal or otherwise. Frieden für Alle.
Amazing work! Wish I lived in Europe where this history is. Touch to find such interesting war history here in the states. Love watching! Keep up the great and very interesting work!
Good stuff guys !,your right you should keep this in your collection,
i love market garden relics,those guys came to help us...
Top Top Top zoals gewoonlijk bij jullie!!
zijn weer mooie spullen heren .
die veldfles is super echt vet man .
kan niet wachten tot de volgende video .
groetjes .
I eagerly await the next video. It is very moving to see these items being brought to the surface. There was so much destruction to gain peace in both WW1 and WW2. It truly is an emotional issue for many people. I am moved seeing all the material you bring out. I know it is an exxtremely small fraction of what is out there. Please keep up the great work you do. I hope that one day the world is truly at peace, but at this moment, I know it is far from it. Cheers to you!!!
Good to hear David! Nicely spoken, we are working on a new video at the moment.
Only not much spare time to use these days.
Greetings! WWIIMD
Awesome findings, guys. Congrats!
great work, love your vids
toppie weer jongens jullie filmpjes zijn toch wel mijn favoriet. heb toevallig vandaag die british life vest activation handle ook gevonden op een landingzone in de buurt .
Again you share such great finds ! The history you find is amazing ! Just the fact that it still exist is unreal ! Keep up the great work !
Thanks Jeff! It is still today possible to find.
Congratulations guys you do a great job ......
Where is the music and archival footage from.
Very nice video!
Brilliant!!
Well-done! ‘Gentlemen’ an outstanding use of “stock footage” to identify your finds! As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
Hello Mike! Thanks for your comments and support!
Good to hear.
Greets, WWIIMD
Wonderful hunt and some interesting finds!
Mooi filmpje. en fantastische muziek eronder
Bedankt! Wij vonden het er ook goed bij passen.
Groeten, WWIIMD
a metal detectors daydream! y'all rock. This yank says onward! :-)
Haha thanks Maury!
Greets, WWIIMD
So lucky to live near somewhere with that kind of historical significance.
I"ll never find anything like that in California.
Thx for uploading ,love this old things.
Good luck for every search from Germany :D
Good to hear CCG thanks!
Mfg aus Holland! WWIIMD
Dwells with you in Holland and let our forests in peace
It's great when our stuff I go to Holland hope customs does ne control if you faht of Detschland to Holland WWII MetalDetecting
Jörg Reußner I don't want to spoil everyone's fun. Bear in mind there is a great deal of ordinance still out there, even left over from ww1 in a lot of places. and Every Year I think over 200 tonnes are disposed of. Phosgen gas , mustard, HE, and land mines . It lasts and lasts, and even the pros get blown up once in a while. People will be getting blown up for the next 150 years, and people died on those battlefields. To be honest yes I have gone metal detecting on old military ranges in the USA. I am done with that and I go to safer spots.
Idaho
Fantastic!
Thanks!
Brilliant.
Love your videos!
ive watched all your videos now amazing so interesting can wait for the next one
Thanks, cool to hear!
Those binoculars must be made of some decent metal, for the glass to succumb to the heat before they did!
Really nice ! thumbs up. :)

Mooie vondsten jongens!
Hé Lean, bedankt!
Groeten
Cool
Leuke video's ga zo door.
Bedankt, ook een Fisher gebruiker zie ik!
Dear WWII MetalDetecting,
could you do some metal detecting in Belgium (Ardennes) where the 101th airborne division (Easy Company) fought?
I'm sure there will be some nice historical relic's from WW2 there!
Hello MGS, we tried that several times, the interesting was the StG44 we found in that area (see our video).
Most relics are gone for many years.
The burned armor and binoculars might have been in a glider that crashed. I hear they were death traps.
Muy interesante.
Fascinated by your videos guys. Do you ever sadly happen upon human remains?
Rook Nah, some dude asked on another vid, and they said " No humans yet"
If they did find one, they would get specialists to identify which soldier it was. Im not sure how, but technology these days can do anything.
Ik sta echt versteld van de kennis die jullie hebben
leuk filmpje weer kerel, jij maakt meestal wel leuke vondsten, niet toevallig een keer zin om iemand mee te nemen toevallig die ook graag oorlog relics zoekt ;)
He Bjorn bedankt voor je reactie, in het verleden hebben we dat wel eens gedaan maar met tegenvallende resultaten en het op eigen gelegenheid teruggaan naar de plekken. Hoop dat je het begrijpt.
Groeten, WWIIMD
ok ik begrijp je wel al ben ik niet hetzelfde zoals die gasten maar ok snap je wel
Exelente
Mooie vondsten weer hoor!
Leuk dat die parachutestof altijd zo mooi blijft!
Ik heb een paar weken geleden een MG42 uit het water gevist!
Hier het linkje als je het wilt zien. :)
Metal detecting WW2 German MG42 FOUND!!!
Gr Nick
Thanks Nick, die opgeviste MG ziet er anders ook erg gaaf uit!
Stilstaand water?
WWII MetalDetecting Bedankt! Hij lag bij een bruggetje waar dagelijks boten doorheen gingen. Het water stroomde soms heel hard maar stond ook vaak stil. Bij de MG lagen ook nog wat andere items: Nederlandse m1912 officiers sabel, afzetpaal, en nog wat munitie. Ik ben in totaal 5 dagen bezig geweest om de MG er uit te vissen.. daar hebben we 2 magneten nodig voor gehad ;)
k98100 Goed bezig geweest dan, daar hebben jullie echt geluk mee gehad!
Hopelijk blijft er nog een mooie relic van over.
Cool! :D jullie maken mooie video's ga zo door met maken! :)
Bedankt! Eerst weer eens wat leuke dingen vinden ;)
WWIIMD
Zo zit dat! :D
very cool what you guys do. for you guys this curiosity searches have found bones?
in what video do you find the most rare, and your favorite relic(s)? great vids, love them!!
Muita coisa boa nesse video
Agradecimentos para olhar!
WWII MetalDetecting
OK!
Oké ja snap ik bedankt voor de reactie en heb alweer zin in de volgende video
Bedankt voor het begrip, we weer weer cool materiaal dus een nieuwe video komt er in de loop van tijd aan.
your videos are amazing! wonder where the thumbs down comes from?
Gaaf man !!!
Love your videos! i wish only you could tell us more about where u find the items, perhaps show it on a map. And maybe give us more info on witch battle tok place there etc. Because now i`m sitting here with so many questions:P
Anyways, keep it up ! =)
Hello there, I understand it would it to a complete story and makes it for some persons more interesting. But putting maps and battefield information in our videos is way overdone, just enjoy watching ;)
Greets WWIMD
great job guys as always ,but i was wondering if u could add subtitles for those of us that don't speak German?
Hi there, we are Dutch and most of it make's no sence ;)
Greets WWIIMD
lol sry for the mistake
Looks a lot like a privy ( outhouse ) dig
And you found a nice dump too! Were there any markings present on the porcalain you found?
It was a nice surprise indeed, the porcelain had no nazi markings so it still lays there.
WWIIMD
one time i found a hole U.S Jeep destroyed by a panzerfaust or a mine , could not tell.
As a WW2 nerd I am excited watching your videos, thanks. If I get one of these detectors and head out to search for myself.. Would that be legal lets say in Germany or Holland? :)
Don't think this hobby is nerdy but seriously though! Metal Detecting is a grey part of law. But many people ruin this hobby by leaving their dug holes open and trash on the surface.
Greets, WWIIMD
Nice founds and cool video. And also a question: do you have any sort of a "big catch" or "treasure" thing you guys realy wanted to find like an almost perfect mg42 or something uniqe and rare?
Good question: hidden nazi gold..! No just something small for our display cabinets. Guns are very cool to find but difficult with the law and much work preserve them the right way. Last trip we did find an extremely rare item, you will see it the up coming video.
Greets, WWIIMD
Rewelacyjny film. Z bardzo dużym zaitersowaniem oglądam Twoje filmy. Często po kilka razy. Jak dla mnie Twój kanał jest bezkonkurencyjny pod wzgledem jakości wykonania materiału i prezentowanych przedmiotów. Zainspirowaleś mnie swoją twórczością. Postanowiłem założyć swoj kanał na yuo Tube o tematyce poszukiwań przy użyciu detektor metalu. Życzę ci kolejnych udanych filmów. Zagladam do ciebie systematycznie. Pozdrawiam
ik was laats in een bunker die hadden we open gebroken en er zat een hele oude motor in
Greeting gentlemen, was just wondering what you do with the dog tags you find or any personal items? Do you turn them in or try to contact family of the fallen? Just curious. Great videos and look forward to the next one.
Hello Edsel, thanks for your post. At the end of the war many soldiers were glad it was over and threw their gear and dog tag away. We report the ones we have found on the battlefield, the ones found in a dump we do not report.
WWIIMD
i hope you brought back those dog tags
You mean the unmarked, to who?
They either buried them on purpose or they're dead.
WWII MetalDetecting yeah I think so too. German authorities and organisations are still "investigating" and searching for lost soldiers. When there are names on the dog tags the authorities can tell that their families :)
Do you guys try to contact the families of the soldiers dog tags that you find?
Are you trained to recognize potential explosive devices?
ik zou dir zelf ook wel willen doen ik heb in normandie kogels gevonden maar ik zou veel liever dezelfde spullen geschiedenis vinden als jullie
What happens if they find a body of a soldier?
Waarzo zoeken jullie met je metaal detector echt mooi spullen die jullie vinden
Sir, I would like to discuss the possibility of going on a hunt with you in 2014. Seriously.
Hello Kevin, we did take some people with us in the past, but in the ending that didn't work out.
I hope you can understand, give it a shot by yourself.
