I thought I had watched all your videos but i must have missed one because this was new to me. I decided to watch your remastered ones because I was going through Deep-Digger-Dan withdrawals waiting for your new ones that are coming in January. Watching your reruns is still better than anything I can find to watch on TV.
Ive seen all your videos, checked them all in one year and now even enjoying the remastered videos, its great that your channel is so alive and i cant wait for the new videos in januari
Item @ 5:35 stamped metal "Eichen Laub" (Oak leaves w/ acorn) x 2 are left and right halves of a hollow stamped metal decorative piece. Der Eichen Laub (the Oak Leaf) is a very popular and powerful German symbol (likely from Nordic mythology) imbued with great significance, and therefore a commonly employed decoration found on many items ranging from furniture to clothing to fire arms.
Your amazing Dan I'm a 41 year old woman from USA we only find rubish hear to see you find things far more valuable than silver and gold is a dream come true!
I'm a recent viewer...I think I have gotten the most excited over the phonetics list you found on these old phones, though the buckles excited me as well. But the list. Basic, mundane, everyday. That people like me use at my job. Very cool!
if you have a jeweler's loop you can look at the diamonds. the diamonds if they are real will have tiny black spots inside of them. that is the carbon left over from their creation. if there are no black spots within the Diamonds then what you have is other glass, cubic zirconia, or some other crazy material.. good luck Dan. I love watching this show...
+Shawn Folstad You can buy a flawless diamond and it will have no black spots in it. They are very rare and you will pay the price for it but they are out there.
The item at 6:02 is a 'cockade' (front of hat military decoration for a 'Schirmutze' cap). The 'clamp' at 5:14 is for rubber tubing used in 'wet chemistry' labs up until the 1970's, when 'plastic tubing' became ubiquitous.
The item at 6:02 is a 'cockade' (front of hat military decoration for a 'Schirmutze' or other cap). Woops...then at 6;20 you have identified it.....The 'clamp' at 5:14 is for small diameter rubber tubing , as used in 'wet chemistry' labs up until the 1970's, when 'plastic tubing' became ubiquitous. The item at 8:45 is a low-voltage dynamo for a Bicycle electric lamp. The item was clamped at the back of the bicycle frame with the knurled wheel at the end swivelled over to make contact with the rear tyre, at night time. The low voltage d.c. power from the dynamo generator was connected by a brace of wires to the bicycle headlight.In use until the 1960's when battery-headlights became commonplace...)
Those are hungarian words and first names (used as codes) on the telephone from 12:06, like "Caution!, the enemy is listening!". = "Vigyázz, az ellenség lehallgat!" or "Do not push during listening!" = "Hallgatásnál ne nyomd!". Fantastic findings!
I’m probably one hundred percent wrong but being a guitarist I think that that clampy thingy may be a capo for some stringed instrument. I know that capos were very primitive back then but I have no clue how that might have gone on the neck. I want it to be a capo cause guitar is pretty much my life but I guess a torture device is kinda cooler......
Please read: I just recently had surgery on my wrist and felt useless, then I watched your videos all day and wanted to start detecting for myself, but I can't get a job to go buy a detector so now it's just an unachievable dream. Anyway thanks for the amazing videos and keep doing what you do.
Around 13 minutes, you have a radio. The button in the middle of the handset is the PTT, Push To Talk, button that keyed the transmitter. The plate is the standard phonetics used to spell things. It would be hard to hear letters in static, so they came up with words for each letter that are easier to understand. So, if I were spelling your name over the radio, I could say D A N, but the D might sound like B if it's noisy. So in english, you would say Delta Alpha November, which would be clearer.
for the item in the beginning that you said we're "squirrel handcuffs" . It looks like something that boot straps go through or maybe a belt . Some kind of strap holder thingy
at 12:35 the letter in the telephone is a hungarian letter which means : "When you listening, dont push!" It's kinda funny because this is the second phone that you found and the first phone was have the same letter :) I hope everybody can understand my english and sorty for the mistakes :)
A suggestion for identifying your perplexing finds: Go to imgur.com, establish an account (it's free) and place photos of your finds there. I use it for a lot for my antiques identification because people can comment on my photos and I frequently get several hundred views in just an hour. it's rare that an item cannot be identified. Hope that helps. Keep up the good work.
the clamp you found is a HOFFMAN CLAMP the cylinder with the hole in the side looks like a cycle dynamo. the thing on the front of the phone is were the winding handle goes there should be one on the side as well.
at 8:45 is a condenser to catch water vapes of the old engines form the 30-50;s not bad lol a lot of the old jeeps had them and the old VW army trucks nice/or ATV (Jeeps)and also later on had them on the AC units also.
With the IV clamp, the Red Cross German belt buckle, the" test tube"; (Possibly a morphine ampoule?), and a field phones, I think there is a very good possibility you are on the site of an aid station.
The code names were next to the telephone 📞 and when a solider used to call for reinforcements whatever the soilders needed they said a code name and a type of force would come
Dan, the economic phenomenon that pertains to the large denomination coins (50 & 200 marks) that you reasonably refer to as the "crash", is actually known as the hyperinflation of the German economy. Workers were paid twice daily, as a result in the drastic fluctuations in the value (purchasing power) of the post war (WWI) currency. The purchasing power of the mark, and in turn, the prices of goods changed drastically in a matter of hours. The price of a loaf of bread in 1924 could be a million marks. The German economy actually began its post war "crash" 10 years ahead of everyone else. This economic situation was a major influence ultimately leading to "old Adolph" getting elected Chancellor in 1933.
5:12 I think it's a 'thumb crusher' where you basically place your victims thumbs inside, screw on the top and let the metal bare chrush the thumbs slowly, basically a torture device. Though i'm not sure of course, it could be a clamp to hold something together or stuff..
5:25 it looks like one of the old torture devices called a thumb clamp. It probably isn't because they are late 18/early19th century and they weren't used by Nazi's as an integration method but I think it is. The person being interigated would have their thumb or fingers placed in and then the interrogator would turn the clamp so it squashed and breaks the bone
What a fertile imagination.............. @5:25 unfortunately, NOT a "thumb screw". Its simply a, very mundane, hose or tube clamp, for small diameter rubber/"BUNA" (synthetic rubber) tubing, for lab use. And, Dan, the stem with the small finely notched wheel on top of stem, could be turned clockwise to tighten-down the bar that stem is connected to .......thus compressing/pinching off the hose. The bottom most bar (of clamp) should swing out to allow clamp to be slipped onto (across the circumference) of a tube or hose. I have a couple of them in front of me as I write.
It's not a thumb screw although it looks a bit like one, It looks very much like a tourniquet ratchet I could be wrong but it looks suspiciously like one to me.

Awesome! It's a hungarian phone.
12:30 "Don't press when you listening"
14:20 Watch out! The enemy is listening!

the clamp is a nipple clamp used in S & M.!

I always love looking at your finds once they have been cleaned up.
Dan that little clamp looks like a watch makers clamp for holding watch movements in when you work on them
if you have a jeweler's loop you can look at the diamonds. the diamonds if they are real will have tiny black spots inside of them. that is the carbon left over from their creation. if there are no black spots within the Diamonds then what you have is other glass, cubic zirconia, or some other crazy material.. good luck Dan.

Hi from Australia, i say golly good stuff old mate , keep up the good work .
I would be ecstatic to have a detecting day like that one!!! WOW!!!
I mean really! You're making me feel like the Charlie Brown of detectorists - "What did you find? I got a rock."
The item at 6:02 is a 'cockade' (front of hat military decoration for a 'Schirmutze' cap). The 'clamp' at 5:14 is for rubber tubing used in 'wet chemistry' labs up until the 1970's, when 'plastic tubing' became ubiquitous.
those rectangle square things were old style batteries

Smart people acting dumb is so entertaining. I love these videos hahaha
+Deep Digger Dan its hilarious dude!
+Deep Digger Dan what do you do with all of these relics? I would love to get my hands on some, but I have no clue where to find it.
+Deep Digger Dan You've just ruined my illusions of you! haha
+Joshua “Jacamp003” Camp.... he has a site where he sells some of the stuff he finds
+BIGMAN FROM MICHIGAN hold up.... Where are you, UP or LP?

from your earliest finds you were really on the right tract! You are really great Dan!
@5:19 it is indeed a clamp - we used to use those at school for controlling the flow of liquids through soft rubber hose.
That shell you found at 8:33 looks like it has a fuse on the tip, making it an explosive shell.
I’m probably one hundred percent wrong but being a guitarist I think that that clampy thingy may be a capo for some stringed instrument. I know that capos were very primitive back then but I have no clue how that might have gone on the neck. I want it to be a capo cause guitar is pretty much my life but I guess a torture device is kinda cooler......
the grenade thing from the "radiator" is a alternator (dynamo in dutch) for bicycles
Hahahahah nederlandsche "NUCHTERHEID"…bein' sober
Hahaha! Awesome digs Dan & very entertaining video. Fantastic!
Dan we need some wild camping again!! Love that series.
that buckle is unbelievable .awsome find
The clamp is a "Hoffman Screw Compressor Clamp" and used to control the flow in flexible tubing in labs and the like.
Love watching your vids dan, So much so i think im going to get a detector again ( sold mine many moons ago ) Keep up vids bud :)
+Deep Digger how have you been .u still didnt tell me how old u r.:-) any good finds latly.......had to watch this episode today one of my favorites.

+Frank Hyland (FlatBrokeFrank) It is.

5:26 that is a torture device for the thumb

for the item in the beginning that you said we're "squirrel handcuffs" . It looks like something that boot straps go through or maybe a belt . Some kind of strap holder thingy

finding these things right off the highway cool lol
All that battery acid. It's pretty significant that it hasn't eaten away at the metal casings even more.
The small clamp looks like a thumb screw, a torture device. I'm not 100% sure but it looks very much like one.
the clamp you found is a HOFFMAN CLAMP the cylinder with the hole in the side looks like a cycle dynamo.
the thing on the front of the phone is were the winding handle goes there should be one on the side as well.
video is 19:39 mins long.. Coincidence? I think not ;)
19:38
squirrels handcuffs 😂😂
Think the clamp device is some sort of thumb or finger screw, although it's a lot smaller then the ones used on knees
Lmao! Dan that glass thing was used to smoke crack!
at 8:45 is a condenser to catch water vapes of the old engines form the 30-50;s not bad lol a lot of the old jeeps had them and the old VW army trucks nice/or ATV (Jeeps)and also later on had them on the AC units also.
the screw thing looks like a medieval torture tool called a thumbscrew
The what is it you found is a hose clamp , i have used these many times on water features but i guess they have many uses.
5:13 That's a thumbscrew it's a torture device
With the IV clamp, the Red Cross German belt buckle, the" test tube"; (Possibly a morphine ampoule?), and a field phones, I think there is a very good possibility you are on the site of an aid station.
the button you found at the start of the episode is the clip from a Luger pistol's magazine
The code names were next to the telephone 📞 and when a solider used to call for reinforcements whatever the soilders needed they said a code name and a type of force would come
Hi DDD! Which metal detector did you use in this video?
good finds Dan what metal detector do u use?
hi dan ! i think the buckle with the large stone is a ladies choker .jewellery round the neck with a ribbon
Dan, That clampy thing you found is a medical clamp for clamping off an IV tube.
Does the metalhunting in the forrest make you crazy or is it an requirement to do so?

the clamp like thing is probably a thumb crusher which was an old torture method
Waow nice buckle you got there! Is it silver? Be carefull with the bombs! GLHH!
Ow but stil very very nice!
the clamp thing was used to squash peoples thumbs till that bleed(torched method)
Wasn't this video loaded a while back too? Seems like I've already seen it.
It is a remastered one. See the video description.
All uploads until January are remastered old videos
Got it. Thank you.
2:45 - Come on Dan. At least show some emotion about your finds.
did you actually find out what that buckel with the Blue stone (pherhaps a sapphire) is ?
the oak leaves thing is the half of a german offishers cap badge
the clamp is used in automotive work to clamp off hoses so the don't leak i use them often
5:25 looks like it was a telegraph key. Morse Code....? ... ... ... --- --- --- ... ... ...
I think the cylinder thing u found at 8:34 is a High Explosive (HE) tank shell! Yikes
At 13:04 it's a ww1 ww2 telephones it comes in a metal box like an ammo crates usually in green metal box
That shell at 8:33, what did you do with it? I would have defintly taken it home :D
5:12 I think it's a 'thumb crusher' where you basically place your victims thumbs inside, screw on the top and let the metal bare chrush the thumbs slowly, basically a torture device.
Though i'm not sure of course, it could be a clamp to hold something together or stuff..
+GoldMinerDK looks like a hose clamp.
Iron Pirate probably, kinda looks the same
test tube looks like a crack pipe lol
+Deep Digger Dan Have you found a German Navi body with ID and cool things try to find a bunker with cool things
+Deep Digger Dan Try to find a Navi German soldier with cool things

Callum Tisdell nope it's a m18 regular seal

The bottom most bar (of clamp) should swing out to allow clamp to be slipped onto (across the circumference) of a tube or hose. I have a couple of them in front of me as I write.
that clamp like thing, it looks like them devices you use to put your bike chain back on ?
Nice vid!!!! keep it up!!!!
It's a finger crusher that is touring matchene
The first one
+uhfnutbar1 ok
+conor rafferty it looks like a thumb screw
+conor rafferty I agree
It's not a thumb screw although it looks a bit like one, It looks very much like a tourniquet ratchet I could be wrong but it looks suspiciously like one to me.
The clamp is a laboratory tubing clamp. Hoffman make them.
+Deep Digger Dan Will you ever go to Vimy Ridge?
Hi Dan. my guess is a clamp to stop liquid to run trough a rubber hose. Gunner
