Es ist schön zu sehen das es Menschen gibt die sich auf die Spuren begeben nach solch alten Sachen klasse. Aber was mir auffällt ist wie tief teilweise diese Sachen alle liegen ,wahnsinn
Ja es ist unglaublich was alles noch gefunden aus Kriegstagen in der Ostsee zb wurden von mehreren Schiffen von den Alliierten mehrere 1000 Tonnen Biologische und Chemische Granaten und Bomben mit Senf und Saringas versenkt die dort Seid nunmehr 80 Jahren dort im Salzwasser vorsich hin Rosten mit einer unabsehbaren Gefahr für die Ostsee die Tierwelt der Ostsee und für Menschen bestehen es wäre möglich das man die Ostsee abschotten müsste um eine Verseuchung der Nordsee zuverhindern was bestimmt eher nicht möglich sein wird und wenn dann sicher teurer als die Scheiße zubergen,falls du mal nach Deutschland kommen solltest und zb auf Helgoland nach Bernstein suchen möchtest dann solltest du eine Metall Schaufel mit mindestens 1 Meter Stillänge nehmen und auf gar keinen Fall vermutlichen Bernstein mit der Hand auf Heben, warum tja Helgoland war mal etwas Mehr als doppelt so groß es beheimatet die Deutsche U Boot Floote und war ein riesiger Bunkerkomplex einer der größten die die Welt je gesehen hat und die Alliierten haben mehr Bomben auf Helgoland geworfen als auf irgendeine andere Gegend oder Stadt ungefähr 100x mehr als auf Berlin nach dem Krieg fand man die Anlage sovor das mann sie easy hätte wieder in Betrieb nehmen können worauf hin die Insel evakuiert wurde und die Anlage gesprengt wurde wobei die Über die Hälfte von Helgoland verschwand! Rund um Helgoland liegen Tausende Blindgänger und das Problem sind Phosphor Bomben die den Phosphor in der Nordsee und auch Ostsee verteilen im Wasser sieht das aus wie Bernstein hebt man das Auf reagiert das sofort mit Sauerstoff und entzündet sich das blitzschnell und krass . Es liegen noch einige 10000 Tonnen unterschiedlicher Munition im Deutschen Böden, was ein Grund ist warum man in Deutschland nicht mit einem Metall Detektor suchen darf, wer das tut macht sich Strafbar und Störung der Toten Ruhe kann dich für mehrere Jahre ins Gefängnis bringen, außerdem gehört alles was du im Boden der Bundesrepublik Deutschland findest automatisch und ausnahmslos dem Stadt also machst du dich mehrfach straffällig wenn du mit ner Sonde ohne eine Genehmigung mit einem Metall Detektor Sondeln gehst! Abgesehen davon das du auf Kampfmittel stoßen kannst und ich glaube nicht das du mit ner Schaufel an einer 1000 Pfund Blockbuster Bombe den höchst sensiblen Zünder aktivieren möchtest
I love this music you play, every time you found a relict! Makes me think about my grandfather, immediately, and I'm loosing a tear. Thank you, grandfather, for all the stories you told me! Thank you for raising me up und always trying to keep me on the right way! You've always been my hero and I like to think back on you! And THANK YOU, GUYS, to keep up high our history! Your work is so important and of great importance!! Keep going!! Best wishes to all of you 🙏🙏! Best regards from Germany
@@EmmAPestilenciA Don't be so damned ignorant. There were many soldiers who were drafted into the German Army and who weren't even members of the Nazi party. It was a political party and membership wasn't a requirement for much of the military as well as civilians. But you could face a long, brutal prison sentence for refusing to go into the military and in some cases death. And no... I'm not a Nazi sympathizer; I hate everything that they stand for. But I'm also a 7 year US military veteran and a lifelong student of WW-2 history so I know something about how other militaries function.
The old videos really do add great context & connection between the items found and their usage during the war. Only thing that I'd like to see added is some general information as to where each item was found....not specific coordinates but rather as to what battle areas they were recovered in. Fascinating stuff!!!
So Hitler has forced himself onto peace loving geman nation and it was an SS who did all the bad things? SS destroyed Poland France, Norway, Balkans, north Africa and half of european Russia despite of fierce opposition of peace loving german nation that didn't vote Hitler? I'm Polish you fool. We all know what Germans did from the stories of our grandfathers. First hand stories of people who went through hell - not your dumb propaganda. Don't spread lies and go back to school.
@Kuala Lumpur yes, there s been a lot of cruelty and nobody, with clear mind, will deny what was done by the germans in WW2. But your sentence, "German soldiers voted Hitler, loved him and died for his sick idea of Germany." is cheap propaganda too. Not all soldiers ve been Nazis. But as you said... you are polish. you got overrun in a few days, suffered a lot and your country vanished off the map for years... your point of view is quit understandable.
Fascinating aspect to flash back with actual images from the battlefield, and then even more poignant with the choice of music. Feeling the war coming to an end... real men with real lives . Words fall short.
My grandfather has been missing since October 1944 on the eastern front. If something is found where a name can be recognized, it must be reported to the German government. In Germany many soldiers from the Second World War are still missing today. And I also want to know where my grandfather died. So if you find a name then do not just take the stuff home with you. You have the responsibility. Do not just dig up stuff because you enjoy it.
A Cousin of mine is also missed in the area of Heeresgruppe Mitte,we only know the ambulance was destroyed by the red army .l agree with you telling names the german &Austrian gov. Not only taking the stuff home.
No one called your grandfather to kill our civilians! Died there he and the road,is their inheritance Nazi bastards to be their bones scattered on our fields as fertilizer and not have graves,would fight honestly and the grave would have been.
@@dingo_BUR The Russians were already coming to Europe & just because Hitler acted first doesn't give you the right to call them anymore murderers than your own government & military. It was your people that were on the killing sprees for years even after the war. I didn't care for the Nazi's but your government was murdering bastards just the same. Stalin probably killed in one way or another half the people the Germans were given credit for.
say thank you that the Russians didn’t wipe Germany off the face of the earth, the Germans made the most vile attack ... I wonder how the Russians forgave you the tens of millions of dead ... who were burnt alive in the camps ..
Very nice job identifying the artifacts you dug up. Not very many guys hunting with metal detectors bother with the history of their finds. It's great that you do.
So fascinating to see German relics unearthed. Although I’m German, (Schumacher) my relatives fought against Germany. In the states it almost impossible to collect any relics w the swastika on it. Having my last name as well as growing up w German speaking family..gets me called a Nazi to this day. I feel hated despite having many uncles and one grandfather that died as US soldiers in WW2. Many Germans in the US changed their last name and refused to speak German after WW2. My family was stubborn, not only refusing to alter their name but continuing to speak German. So happy I found this channel! Binge watching all day!
@@rcrinsea I live in Kansas. A small community of literally almost ALL GERMANS. We called the Volga-German capital of the world. Mind you...VOLGA Germans. Before WW2 they fled Germany and were allowed to live along the Volga river in Russia...PROVIDED theybcould work the horrible land & grow crops thus making a settlement. Germans, being resourceful-did just that. They left Russia prior to WW2 & headed for the states. When the train stopped in Kansas (as the railroad was being built) the Volga Germans got off. A military fort, saloons and homes started to go up as men worked on laying track. It was literally the Wild West. General Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Elizabeth Polly, etc all lived here...along side the Volga Germans...who grew crops on bad soil. Then came WW2. The KS. Germans went to war to liberate the Jews. They spoke German. Although a different dialect, it greatly assisted them in dire situations. My grandfather in law was captured by Nazis. I only know he used his german ...& returned back to the states w a Nazi uniform. He doesn’t speak of what went down. Nonetheless, despite what our grand parents did. We were German. Hitler was the devil. Upon return, not everyone understood that we weren’t Nazis, believing we fled to evade capture. We were NOT allowed to speak German in schools...anywhere. ( Even in my generation Gen X) Last names were changed. They stayed close, but changed or dropped the ending. Most of us don’t know what are REAL last name was. My married name is Rozean. Hes German. Not sure if it was Rosenberger or something else. My best friends last name is Spalsbury. He thinks it was Spalsburger. My maiden name is Schumacher. We KEPT IT & continued to speak German. My grandmother lost 3 sons in WW2. She refused to pretend her sons didn’t serve and die as Germans fighting Germans for the US. Still, many Schumachers changed their last name to Shoemaker. It’s not as bad now as it was. But it’s there.
That's OK I'm a Deutsch Americana and my dad was in the 101st Airbourne. I'm sure he took some crap for having a German last name Schmidt. R.I.P. to all sides.
I love your videos. I like how you show the item, give it's name, explain what it is, show it cleaned in the field, and then we see an old photograph showing how that item was worn or used. It really puts it into perspective. I also like that there is no filler. Your videos are all action! Great work fellows! J from USA
Please report the location of the dog tags to an organization or the Red Cross - many families still do not know exactly where their relatives have gone. My two grandfathers also stayed "somewhere" on the Eastern Front. Nobody knows where. You can help.
@@carlocarletti6912 I fully agree with your comment. A former GRU officer, and a former DDR General found evidence (and both wrote books - separately and independently of each other - about their findings) confirming that Operation Barbarossa was a pre-emptive strike by the Germans aimed at stopping the invasion of Europe by the Soviet Union. Germany sacrificed itself for the good of Europe, unfortunately this sacrifice has not yet been recognised.
It makes perfect sense being a German soldier on the Eastern front why you would get rid of any medals you had like the ones found and most definately the first thing you would get rid of would be SS items. That would be asking to get shot. I think it's good to find them like you do and clean them up and preserve them. Watching you find them makes me think of the person who lost them and how they got there. Cool videos.
I feel the owners of the identity discs died wearing them, also the combat badges. The diggers are not showing casualties, but they must be there under the soil where they died.
It must be so interesting to be able to live around an area with such deep history of a time not that long ago. I live in Oklahoma and have found a few Native American arrowheads along the Arkansas river and that was a rush just in it of itself. It's one thing to read about history, but to hold it in your hand is an incredible feeling.
Europe is loaded with artifacts, I live in an area where Roman artifacts are still found in Lower Saxony Germany, depending on your locale you never know what will come up since you have thousands of years of metal in the ground.
There's a website called relicshack.com that deals mostly in arrowheads found in the western hemisphere dating anywhere from the Early Archaic Era (7000 BC) all the way up to present time. I've bought a few heads from them and I've never been disappointed plus they're very friendly people. I'm sure there are plenty other sites including Ebay, but since arrowheads can be 'easily' homemade, I've always been a little cautious about buying from individual sellers versus people who run a business on authenticating and selling them.
No it's not.Find the relic, clean it off and tell us want is it is.The music adds importance to the object as if it is a reminder of something fine a holy which it certainly is not.
.. and that was done on purpose .. to make people feel important, to be proud. I know, my father was there, not by choice, but taken from 'the farm' at 15 years old as the Germans were retreating and desperate for soldiers. I could go on ..
Thanks for sharing! I have been really fascinated with WW2 history, and when I see clips like this, I can remember our past families and relatives who lived through this time. It really is a tribute to them. Thank you! Aloha from Hawaii!

the things you guys find are amazing, i believe the things you are finding are very important to not only your history as a country, but to the world. thank god for you guys, because by doing this you guys are answering a lot of questions for the families of these men, and for the war itself i love your channel please keep it up.
It's always exciting to find such influential prices of history just sitting inches under ground waiting to be dug up by history enthusiasts like you guys. I'm glad someone is out exploring this chapter in history rather than just letting everything rust away. Keep up the good work!!
@Внук Ельцина Yeah dangerous hobby, in my metaldetector time I only found some '60 Dutch insignia, but while at work, without a detector I already found 1 mills grenade with the clip of, a panzerfaust grenade, and I wasn't even using a metal detector, so imagine what these guys in the video already must have stumbled upon.
Amazing finds. The personal are what I find most interesting. A few of my American family members fought in this war but I also had German relatives living in Germany at this time. Sadly, I do not know what we became of them. Contact was lost sometime around 1937. (Nolte, Hueslmann, Biermann and Horstmann)
John kevin w ...this is so interesting ..the Dutch lads are showing there finds thay arnt digging graves nor doing this for money ..there are doing this maybe as a hobby and interest in history ..and I think its amazing how some off the relics are in such good condition ..very interesting ..great job and thanks for sharing your amazing finds ..greetings Liverpool
Tom Thumb the dutch lads? I thought they're deutsche. Lol. Whatever. Well done your guys! I wish I could dig one mark too. I'll take it with me everywhere. NOT FOR SALES, BUDDIES!!!
Excellent video. Takes me back to the days I was stationed in Germany and dug many foxholes in the field. I wish i had been into detecting back then. Great presentation.
That skull ring is a real treasure. If viewers aren’t familiar, they were supposed to be returned to the SS when the soldier died or retired. From what I’ve read the soldier’s name and Himmler’s signature were engraved on the inside of the band.

xXFerPRXx 777 German soliders deserve respect like all others. It isnt like they had a choice of becoming a wehrmacht solider, they were just normal soliders who fought for their fatherland. Yes some of them did horrible things but dont act like they were the only one that did horrible things in the war. For example the americans killed in belgium on the 1st january 1945 60 Wehrmacht soliders who were captured after they were told not to take war prisoners or when france captured Stuttgart and Pforzheim the raped over 600!!! Innocent women. What i was trying to say is that everyone did horrible thing in the war but it isnt like all of the soliders did it. Its wrong to say that the fallen german soliders dont deserve respect
For some reason i too experience a sort of poignant nostalgia when viewing WW2 images. I suspect it might have something to do with the quality of photography that began then? I have seen WW1 footage that has been slowed down and colourised too - but it does not have the exact same effect on me.
I like to see relics of war, but seeing digging brings the look of empathy on the human drama lived there, regardless of which side I fought for. Very good job. Liked it
Hi. Thank you for a great video. What great finds. Thank you for describing each item and also the brilliant picture's so we could also see what the items looked like at the time. Big thumbs up. Wayne (From the U.K 🇬🇧)
Your channel is very well done. I love the way you show authentic pictures or video of the soldiers wearing the pieces that you find. Such a strange feeling it gives me looking at buried pieces of such a horrific past. Very interesting. Well done.
You can´t really call them graves, even if someone died there, they weren´t burried. Also, finding identification badges like in the video is a great thing, because it gives closure to relatives of soldiers who went m.i.a. Two of my great-grandfathers were send to Stalingrad but never returned, and when somebody would find their IDs it would be amazing, mostly for my grandparents who don´t know what became of their parents.
I found this soldier Wilhelm Scior(14.11.1910) (Obergefraiter) at Volksbund webside. He served in German army during War World II on the Eastern Front. Probably He died at Uman (Ukraine) and He has been buried on Kiew (Ukraine) cemetery. Of course Iam not sure (100%) but I hope that I indicated properly soldier.
Thanks for the translations it really makes it more interesting and easier to follow. I would love to find items that are a part of history even though it was such a horrible war ....it's fascinating thank you and Hello from the USA
A lot of these kind of findings can be found just in the outskirts of the town i am currently living in Russia. The town of Tula is just 350 km away from Moscow, and great efforts were made by the Soviet troops to stop germans here on their barrage to Moscow. However here by many chances apart from finding an amunition items you'll find bones of fallen solders too, not just foxholes. Since there are many swamps and forests in this area local search-volunteers still finding deads from both side. As far as i know they report about german solders to some kind of german organization that deals with this issues, i am not quite sure. I have a friend who is part of these search missions. And indeed german troops were ultimately violent to russian civilians and military prisoners, they called russian a "subhumen" and treated accordingly, so i can't blame russian solders paying them back the same way. Despite the warefare there always should be a room for moral.
Vincit Omnia Veritas - I know from 1. hand people telling me of nazi propaganda in the radio (so called "Volksempfänger"), that Germany would be a people without space (correct expression in german: "Volk ohne Raum"). This propaganda intended to manipulate the society accompanied with the claimed inferiority of the slavic people (and other absurdities) at the time of the german invasion in Russia. German's government in this time never treated any people respectful, not even their own. When Hitler realised that he and the army (Wehrmacht) lost the war, he complained about the german people, that they would not deserve to survive, when they are not the winners. Even in the very last hours and in a completely desperate position he sent young boys of 16 years into the street fighting in Berlin and into their certain death. He himself didn't fight till the end like he demanded that from soldiers or kids till the end. He then cowardly shot himself. Respect? He had none and so he will get none. Massmurder. This government and their accomplice were the loosers in any categorie regarding humanity, military, politics, prosperity or culture and so on. I'm german and don't believe in nazi-lies. You shouldn't neither.
Raik Laub i agree totally, the propaganda used by the Nazi regime to win the hearts and minds of people is such a bizarre subject being that they incorporated German pride mixed with ideology and symbolic paganism was a brilliant tactic and a page right from the prince by nicco Machiavelli. The history of warfare is so interesting, thats how most ppl view timelines through history is by who was conquering who and where. We have always been brutal towards each other and we have reached an awareness through our violent tribulations from Alexander to Hitler, they became great leaders through war obsessed thinking but never realized how they changed the world in future for good or bad. Either way they had a way of bringing ppl together for a common goal which through terrorism or being great morality is irrelevant to them as long as they had and achieved power.
It doesn't matter if it's revenge it's a war crime's that the Soviets got away with So stop trying to paint the Germans as devils and the Russians as angels back because they were just as bad as one another
I have been metal detecting for 20yrs and i have found some crazy shit, but my best find was outside of Tucson, Az. I found a tin can w/2 dorry bars(home made gold bars) one was about two oz.and the other three oz. A very cool find!!
The part that hit me the hardest for some reason was when they unearthed the first helmet. Something worn and coveted by a soldier to keep himself safe, then laid forgotten in the mud for many, many years.
How sad when a man kills his brother man. I hope that peace will prevail in all corners of the world and the peoples living stability wrote these words, and I'm sad and shed tears for peace
I do not think there is any reason to laugh while digging and discovering these things! It is sad that they are human beings who lost their lives early because they are soldiers with no luck .. Every soldier, no matter how, must be treated with respect.
They are doing a great service to these fallen heroes and their families. I am a veteran and I know sometimes we have ,what seems like inappropriate humor, but that is a defense mechanism to save our sanity. I marine that’s the service these “diggers”;are doing takes an emotional toll on them
I'm interested in the exact location where these digs happened so I can research what battle took place here. Is it possible you can add a google maps link to it?
+Cone Head pretty sure this is belgian ardennes or bordering germany big battles have been fought there on the western front and since the people who made this video are dutch its verry likely belgium
+Obwon Kenobe A lot of these kind of findings can be found just in the outskirts of the town i am currently living in Russia.

I was able to use my metal detector when I was stationed in Germany in 1989. I was stationed at a NATO base near Geilenkirchen. After finding a hand grenade and a mortar round I was prohibited from using my detector because they said I was taxing their system. That was because every time I found unexploded munitions they had to secure it until EOD came and took it away for disposal. I was able to go the black forest and could see the outlines from the foxholes. I was able to find a German Helmet, mostly intact but some of it had rusted out.
Just looking at the stuff you dig up and that helmet knowing it belong to a soldier who was likely to have been killed and knowing how hard the must have fought to win those awards kinds of brings a tear to your eye.
2:28 looks like this brave soldier meeting with his fate between these woods Anyway I always wonder if they found belt buckles, dogtags, helmets, decos,glasses but where are the skeletons from all this kind of footages?
my thinking is that these men would probably resist the great glorious denazification process[or so the allies thought] so it was just better to shot them.
Very well done best metal detecting video I've seen, I like how you add the pictures of the items being worn. makes it so real. The common soldier went through hell. WW2 affected so many. My father fought in WW2 but in the Pacific theater of operation. I would love to check out those areas. Look out for the unexploded ones Good hunting be safe.
These are excellent things they are coming across and bringing to the surface, and the historical value of these items are priceless. But here is my question and concern- how do they know with certainty there's no mines or UXO in the area that they could dig into?
Some very Important finds It Is very Interesting German relics that could be museum pieces, great sweeping, keep up these most Interesting finds, all so Interesting & so good to see so many original discoveries, great historical moments unearthed great-sweep!
That is amazing. It is crazy that my grandfather fought in that war in Italy and N Africa. I can only imagine the impact it had on EU. The USA was lucky geographically to be spared except for Pearl Harbor.
I am so addicted to watching this stuff. It's amazing what they still find 70+ years after the war.

Not that long ago, in human year's it was

Just curious: where do you live? I can’t imagine this kind of bigotry today, at least not in the US, among adults.
@@rcrinsea I live in Kansas. A small community of literally almost ALL GERMANS. We called the Volga-German capital of the world. Mind you...VOLGA Germans. Before WW2 they fled Germany and were allowed to live along the Volga river in Russia...PROVIDED theybcould work the horrible land & grow crops thus making a settlement. Germans, being resourceful-did just that.
They left Russia prior to WW2 & headed for the states. When the train stopped in Kansas (as the railroad was being built) the Volga Germans got off. A military fort, saloons and homes started to go up as men worked on laying track. It was literally the Wild West. General Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Elizabeth Polly, etc all lived here...along side the Volga Germans...who grew crops on bad soil.
Then came WW2. The KS. Germans went to war to liberate the Jews. They spoke German. Although a different dialect, it greatly assisted them in dire situations. My grandfather in law was captured by Nazis. I only know he used his german ...& returned back to the states w a Nazi uniform. He doesn’t speak of what went down.
Nonetheless, despite what our grand parents did. We were German. Hitler was the devil. Upon return, not everyone understood that we weren’t Nazis, believing we fled to evade capture.
We were NOT allowed to speak German in schools...anywhere. ( Even in my generation Gen X) Last names were changed. They stayed close, but changed or dropped the ending. Most of us don’t know what are REAL last name was. My married name is Rozean. Hes German. Not sure if it was Rosenberger or something else. My best friends last name is Spalsbury. He thinks it was Spalsburger. My maiden name is Schumacher. We KEPT IT & continued to speak German. My grandmother lost 3 sons in WW2. She refused to pretend her sons didn’t serve and die as Germans fighting Germans for the US. Still, many Schumachers changed their last name to Shoemaker. It’s not as bad now as it was. But it’s there.
That's OK I'm a Deutsch Americana and my dad was in the 101st Airbourne. I'm sure he took some crap for having a German last name Schmidt. R.I.P. to all sides.
To hold history in your hand wow.

I love your videos. I like how you show the item, give it's name, explain what it is, show it cleaned in the field, and then we see an old photograph showing how that item was worn or used. It really puts it into perspective. I also like that there is no filler. Your videos are all action! Great work fellows! J from USA
Many thanks for the kind words J! Really cool to hear it will be appreciated.
Thanks from Holland!
Please report the location of the dog tags to an organization or the Red Cross - many families still do not know exactly where their relatives have gone.
My two grandfathers also stayed "somewhere" on the Eastern Front. Nobody knows where. You can help.
your two grandfathers are in Walhalla, were only the brave and the heroes could stay. I thank your grandparents for trying to save europe
@@carlocarletti6912 I fully agree with your comment. A former GRU officer, and a former DDR General found evidence (and both wrote books - separately and independently of each other - about their findings) confirming that Operation Barbarossa was a pre-emptive strike by the Germans aimed at stopping the invasion of Europe by the Soviet Union. Germany sacrificed itself for the good of Europe, unfortunately this sacrifice has not yet been recognised.

@@DavidBrown-qf1tk Jesus what a deluded fuckwit you are
It makes perfect sense being a German soldier on the Eastern front why you would get rid of any medals you had like the ones found and most definately the first thing you would get rid of would be SS items. That would be asking to get shot. I think it's good to find them like you do and clean them up and preserve them. Watching you find them makes me think of the person who lost them and how they got there. Cool videos.
+Paul Evans. Hello Paul, good to see your comment here. I can see you understand what wherer the circumstances those day's. Thank you for watching.
Thank you very much. I think your videos are great. They bring history to life.
I feel the owners of the identity discs died wearing them, also the combat badges. The diggers are not showing casualties, but they must be there under the soil where they died.
all ss members were tatooed so they would be recognized anyway
They ran like rabbits! It was coming fast and heavy!
Do you have to report the Dog-Tags of the german soldiers to an organisation or something?
Uniform of German army in ww2 one of the great thing of history. I love German products in ww2.like Panzer and Tigers. What a tanks!
Very cool. But I would be afraid of detonating an old mine or explosive buried in the dirt.
Im so jealous of these guys. Id love to spend my days doing that.
Me too
Sadly in Germany its not alowed zu search this stuff, you can get a lot of trouble if you do.
@@DerTobiist Es ist doch erlaubt, halt nur in bestimmten Bundesländern
Yes, me too. So interesting
@@DerTobiist The war didn't end in 1945. It rages to this day.
You guys are incredible. That we can all watch this sitting home.
It must be so interesting to be able to live around an area with such deep history of a time not that long ago. I live in Oklahoma and have found a few Native American arrowheads along the Arkansas river and that was a rush just in it of itself. It's one thing to read about history, but to hold it in your hand is an incredible feeling.
I live in Stalingrad area and a lot of people here make a living off selling any kinds of WW2 trophies
Europe is loaded with artifacts, I live in an area where Roman artifacts are still found in Lower Saxony Germany, depending on your locale you never know what will come up since you have thousands of years of metal in the ground.
do you have a site where they sell it on?
There's a website called relicshack.com that deals mostly in arrowheads found in the western hemisphere dating anywhere from the Early Archaic Era (7000 BC) all the way up to present time. I've bought a few heads from them and I've never been disappointed plus they're very friendly people. I'm sure there are plenty other sites including Ebay, but since arrowheads can be 'easily' homemade, I've always been a little cautious about buying from individual sellers versus people who run a business on authenticating and selling them.
My grandfather found a roman coin while digging in his backyard
The musical choice was perfect for that documentary.
No it's not.Find the relic, clean it off and tell us want is it is.The music adds importance to the object as if it is a reminder of something fine a holy which it certainly is not.
I'm not a Nazi but they had some of the coolest uniforms.
.. and that was done on purpose .. to make people feel important, to be proud. I know, my father was there, not by choice, but taken from 'the farm' at 15 years old as the Germans were retreating and desperate for soldiers. I could go on ..

you show lots of respect for history, thanks
Love your channel guys. All the German paraphernalia so proudly worn until the end, then discarded with no savory of achievement.

Great that you treat the finds with such respect, we will never know the terror the owners went through during or after the war.
the things you guys find are amazing, i believe the things you are finding are very important to not only your history as a country, but to the world. thank god for you guys, because by doing this you guys are answering a lot of questions for the families of these men, and for the war itself i love your channel please keep it up.
Well said TB!

It's always exciting to find such influential prices of history just sitting inches under ground waiting to be dug up by history enthusiasts like you guys. I'm glad someone is out exploring this chapter in history rather than just letting everything rust away. Keep up the good work!!
Such a cool video of found items! Thumbs ☝
Man, that is a DANGEROUS hobby. I'd LOVE to do it, but knowing MY luck, "Hey, I found something..." [VRRRROOOOOM!]
@Внук Ельцина
Yeah dangerous hobby, in my metaldetector time I only found some '60 Dutch insignia, but while at work, without a detector I already found 1 mills grenade with the clip of, a panzerfaust grenade, and I wasn't even using a metal detector, so imagine what these guys in the video already must have stumbled upon.
Amazing finds. Indeed RIP to those soldiers.
It’s great that real life photos of objects that you find are shown, good job guys.
Amazing finds. The personal are what I find most interesting. A few of my American family members fought in this war but I also had German relatives living in Germany at this time. Sadly, I do not know what we became of them. Contact was lost sometime around 1937. (Nolte, Hueslmann, Biermann and Horstmann)
John kevin w ...this is so interesting ..the Dutch lads are showing there finds thay arnt digging graves nor doing this for money ..there are doing this maybe as a hobby and interest in history ..and I think its amazing how some off the relics are in such good condition ..very interesting ..great job and thanks for sharing your amazing finds ..greetings Liverpool

I hope You give the ,, Erkennungsmarken" to the Country for which the soldier was from. Families would be happy of this
Excellent video. Takes me back to the days I was stationed in Germany and dug many foxholes in the field. I wish i had been into detecting back then. Great presentation.
This take you back? you? you either have fought in WW2 or you talking about Wolfenstein
That skull ring is a real treasure. If viewers aren’t familiar, they were supposed to be returned to the SS when the soldier died or retired. From what I’ve read the soldier’s name and Himmler’s signature were engraved on the inside of the band.
That’s so freaking cool!!!!!
HIMMLER was a pear shaped weakling!

we have to show respect for the soldiers who fell in battle
xXFerPRXx 777 They are called nazis not Germans you imbecile.
xXFerPRXx 777 German soliders deserve respect like all others. It isnt like they had a choice of becoming a wehrmacht solider, they were just normal soliders who fought for their fatherland. Yes some of them did horrible things but dont act like they were the only one that did horrible things in the war. For example the americans killed in belgium on the 1st january 1945 60 Wehrmacht soliders who were captured after they were told not to take war prisoners or when france captured Stuttgart and Pforzheim the raped over 600!!! Innocent women. What i was trying to say is that everyone did horrible thing in the war but it isnt like all of the soliders did it. Its wrong to say that the fallen german soliders dont deserve respect
Christian Ulrichs I guess you’re right , they did not have a choice none of em did... we are all human after all
Christian Ulrichs There were good people on both sides and horrible people on both sides.
xXFerPRXx 777 Go Home
All this stuff awaken an unusual nostalgic feeling in me, as If I lived in these days. Maybe in my last life I have passed away in this war...
Arnas now thats cool
For some reason i too experience a sort of poignant nostalgia when viewing WW2 images. I suspect it might have something to do with the quality of photography that began then?
I have seen WW1 footage that has been slowed down and colourised too - but it does not have the exact same effect on me.
I like to see relics of war, but seeing digging brings the look of empathy on the human drama lived there, regardless of which side I fought for. Very good job. Liked it
Hi. Thank you for a great video. What great finds. Thank you for describing each item and also the brilliant picture's so we could also see what the items looked like at the time. Big thumbs up. Wayne (From the U.K 🇬🇧)
That death head ring is one hell of a find!
I thought these were silver?
Great video! Thanks for including pictures of how they look originally!!!
Your channel is very well done. I love the way you show authentic pictures or video of the soldiers wearing the pieces that you find. Such a strange feeling it gives me looking at buried pieces of such a horrific past. Very interesting. Well done.
fantastic giving context to the finds well done it just makes you think of the horrors on all sides gave me chills
Thanks so much for sharing! Lots of History there! 🇺🇸
finding any German stalhelm helmet would be my dream come true
lol sold one 2 years ago.
Helm = helmet
just saying
i found so many here..
where do you metaldetect germany?
You can´t really call them graves, even if someone died there, they weren´t burried. Also, finding identification badges like in the video is a great thing, because it gives closure to relatives of soldiers who went m.i.a. Two of my great-grandfathers were send to Stalingrad but never returned, and when somebody would find their IDs it would be amazing, mostly for my grandparents who don´t know what became of their parents.
Very interesting to see the historical context of actual use.
REAL pieces of history... good vídeo....
Thank you, very well done, with explanations of what the items were when found. Would like to see more.
I like the fact that you identify what you find. Excellent teaching too. Thank you for sharing your videos. Please keep digging but carefully please.
Excellent! Respect to detecting team!
Awesome video! Wish I could take part in one of these excursions some day when I visit Deutschland!
Enjoyed this very much. Very intriguing and interesting. Especially a German helmet sitting on top of the ground still all these years.
Exceptionally well presented.
I found this soldier Wilhelm Scior(14.11.1910) (Obergefraiter) at Volksbund webside. He served in German army during War World II on the Eastern Front. Probably He died at Uman (Ukraine) and He has been buried on Kiew (Ukraine) cemetery. Of course Iam not sure (100%) but I hope that I indicated properly soldier.
Unlikely to be the same person, this tag is on the easternfront of 1945, years after the fight in ukraine.
@@Alexandroslav it is bag label, bag could be used by other soilder

Thank you for explaining what you have found. Very interesting. indeed.

A lot of these kind of findings can be found just in the outskirts of the town i am currently living in Russia. The town of Tula is just 350 km away from Moscow, and great efforts were made by the Soviet troops to stop germans here on their barrage to Moscow. However here by many chances apart from finding an amunition items you'll find bones of fallen solders too, not just foxholes. Since there are many swamps and forests in this area local search-volunteers still finding deads from both side. As far as i know they report about german solders to some kind of german organization that deals with this issues, i am not quite sure. I have a friend who is part of these search missions. And indeed german troops were ultimately violent to russian civilians and military prisoners, they called russian a "subhumen" and treated accordingly, so i can't blame russian solders paying them back the same way. Despite the warefare there always should be a room for moral.
Pavel Konovalov is gay
Vincit Omnia Veritas - I know from 1. hand people telling me of nazi propaganda in the radio (so called "Volksempfänger"), that Germany would be a people without space (correct expression in german: "Volk ohne Raum").
This propaganda intended to manipulate the society accompanied with the claimed inferiority of the slavic people (and other absurdities) at the time of the german invasion in Russia. German's government in this time never treated any people respectful, not even their own.
When Hitler realised that he and the army (Wehrmacht) lost the war, he complained about the german people, that they would not deserve to survive, when they are not the winners. Even in the very last hours and in a completely desperate position he sent young boys of 16 years into the street fighting in Berlin and into their certain death. He himself didn't fight till the end like he demanded that from soldiers or kids till the end. He then cowardly shot himself. Respect? He had none and so he will get none. Massmurder. This government and their accomplice were the loosers in any categorie regarding humanity, military, politics, prosperity or culture and so on. I'm german and don't believe in nazi-lies. You shouldn't neither.
Pavel Konovalov That’s wrong that the normal German treated soviet civilians badly.
Raik Laub i agree totally, the propaganda used by the Nazi regime to win the hearts and minds of people is such a bizarre subject being that they incorporated German pride mixed with ideology and symbolic paganism was a brilliant tactic and a page right from the prince by nicco Machiavelli. The history of warfare is so interesting, thats how most ppl view timelines through history is by who was conquering who and where. We have always been brutal towards each other and we have reached an awareness through our violent tribulations from Alexander to Hitler, they became great leaders through war obsessed thinking but never realized how they changed the world in future for good or bad. Either way they had a way of bringing ppl together for a common goal which through terrorism or being great morality is irrelevant to them as long as they had and achieved power.
It doesn't matter if it's revenge it's a war crime's that the Soviets got away with
So stop trying to paint the Germans as devils and the Russians as angels back because they were just as bad as one another
Well done and the presentation has a real 'feel' to it. Like the old saying. 'Digging up the Past'. A very sad past, but History...ty

What an awesome video. Enjoy it
I was able to use my metal detector when I was stationed in Germany in 1989. I was stationed at a NATO base near Geilenkirchen. After finding a hand grenade and a mortar round I was prohibited from using my detector because they said I was taxing their system. That was because every time I found unexploded munitions they had to secure it until EOD came and took it away for disposal. I was able to go the black forest and could see the outlines from the foxholes. I was able to find a German Helmet, mostly intact but some of it had rusted out.
Just looking at the stuff you dig up and that helmet knowing it belong to a soldier who was likely to have been killed and knowing how hard the must have fought to win those awards kinds of brings a tear to your eye.
War is Hell
Damn all Nazis and those who fought to bring their hell to the world.

So many men lost their lives. War is mankind at its worst.

2:28 looks like this brave soldier meeting with his fate between these woods
Anyway I always wonder if they found belt buckles, dogtags, helmets, decos,glasses but where are the skeletons from all this kind of footages?
my thinking is that these men would probably resist the great glorious denazification process[or so the allies thought] so it was just better to shot them.
Corpses arent left lying on the ground

Russians left lots of bodies...
I think German’s did a better job taking care of their dead
Amazing history, great channel.
great soundtrack choice. makes finding cool stuff reaalllyy fun.
Very well done best metal detecting video I've seen, I like how you add the pictures of the items being worn. makes it so real. The common soldier went through hell. WW2 affected so many. My father fought in WW2 but in the Pacific theater of operation. I would love to check out those areas. Look out for the unexploded ones Good hunting be safe.
These are excellent things they are coming across and bringing to the surface, and the historical value of these items are priceless. But here is my question and concern- how do they know with certainty there's no mines or UXO in the area that they could dig into?
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Great finds guy's
The thing that scares me the most about this is finding a mine field
Some very Important finds It Is very Interesting German relics that could be museum pieces, great sweeping, keep up these most Interesting finds, all so Interesting & so good to see so many original discoveries, great historical moments unearthed great-sweep!
