Totally understand. Unfortunately this is the only way that some family members ever find out what happened to their loved ones if we can return items. But I get what you are saying. I work with an archeology team so I see both sides
yups, and the empty shells you found are the ones those "musketballs" come out of, the round object you have at 8:00 looks like the part that holds the shrapnel balls in the shell
Hey my friend. Back then I used a Garrett Ace 300. Now I use a Makro Multi Kruzer. I am not sure when you will get the coin but it is on its way to you
@@NathanielOutdoorAdventures Nokta makes a nice machine. It would be good to see it in your videos. I will keep a weather eye out on my post box. Thanks
@@SurfDetector If you check out the latest challenge with R Dogg you can see a couple of live digs in the beginning. I do often show it working. Also in some of the beach detecting videos I think. I am not sure if you have already commented on the latest video but there is another silver coin available if you wish to enter
FYI, the items that you are calling shrapnell are NOT shrapnel. They are Shell Fragments or Splinters. Your musket balls are shrapnell. Shrapnell balls were inclosed in a type of exploding shell that exploded above the trench spewing out deadly shrapnell balls. A common misconception which should not be.
Taking an small,illegable piece of a German soldiers dog tag of the battle field is like taking his gravestone. Piss poor mate. Ex professional soldier.
Totally understand your feelings. I work with an archaeology team and it is a way to return items to family members that otherwise have no idea what has happened to loved ones. Unfortunately not enough detail left on this to do that but I did manage to return a pocket watch to family recently and they were very grateful. But as I say I totally understand your feelings
Great finds! Thanks for sharing with us :)
Thanks and you are welcome
That screw thing is a ww1 French beehive bomb fuse.
That is very cool. Thank you for letting me know
@@NathanielOutdoorAdventures no problem it goes on the other part of the French bomb fuse what u found.
Some finds!! You are fortunate that you can detect there and preserve history!
That is my most popular video. I will have to go back there soon
Greeting from metal Detector Bali Indonesia i ♥️
Hey, greetings my new friend and welcome
Wow some great finds
It is an old video. I hope to get back there at some point when the traveling is easier
@@NathanielOutdoorAdventures Yes thought I would have a look at some of your older videos
Again amazing stuff you find! 👍😊
Thanks again! More to come soon
Great finds
Thanks for watching. It is an interesting area I hope to return to soon
You should never remove items from the battlefield to respect the dead. 10000s soldiers lay where you have taken items. Not cool.

2:55 it's from a WW1 German stielhandgranate it's a mechanisme from the detonator Nice find
Oh cool. I have a couple of those. Thanks Lucas
The "musket balls are shrapnel balls from an antipersonell artillary round,the fields of France are littered with them,good video
Thanks Martin. I appreciate the info
@@NathanielOutdoorAdventures most welcome

75 mm schrapnel French fuze (part of it)
Thank you Dominique, I really appreciate that
Fascinating series of finds indeed. What metal detector do you use?

@@NathanielOutdoorAdventures I will check them out. Thanks.
Those are shrapnel balls, not bullets. Very common!
Yes thank you. This was a long time ago now. I have learnt a lot since then
where is the exact location of this place ?
Thank you for messaging but unfortunately I am not able to answer as this is private land and the owners do not wish others to know where it is

You are absolutely right. I am sorry for making that statement. I will try not to do that in future videos

Its a light bulb
Thanks Ryu. It looks like one. Though as far as I can tell from the markings and timing written on it it is a timed fuse but you may be right
@@NathanielOutdoorAdventures I'm pretty sure the timed fuse was so you can know when it's due changing.
It may be a beehive fuse.
Thanks
Yeah that's a beehive fuse.
Thank you. Really appreciate the input
