I seriously love WWII history. Mike captures the mysterious history of the war time, it’s normally something you just hear or read about, but to see him actually dig up the artifacts, makes it that much more real. Crazy!
Have you personally done excavation in any European countries because it is not usually a female that likes digs concerning WWII? I would love to be able to go to Europe to excavate. I know in Russia you can find many WWII materials being that 80% of war was fought there. I realize that some people frown on it especially if it disturbs grave sites.
I was stationed in West Berlin bro! 1981-1983, 42nd Engineer company, Andrews Kaserne, Finchenstein Allee! Loved the place and the people for sure! Just wish I could go back one day
@76yankeeamado. After finish my 6 months military reinforcement in Hohenfels my bn.went to a cultural tour in West Berlin.The next day we crossed the three check points toward east Berlin, lunch a schitzel, a sausage and a "buck" beer. My brother in arms took me a photo beside a war monument suddenly i look down and spotted a coin. It resulted to be a east Germany pfennig made of aluminum. I still have it. The photo and coin are the only memorabilia i have from East berlin 1976.
Enjoy watching you! Would love to be somewhere to be able to find such incredible history! My Dad was a Marine in the South Pacific, first company on Guam…my Uncle was shot down over Poland and nothing found of him….this touches my heart!
Mike just found your channel ! Really enjoy your style , have spent a lot of time watching great content . I detect here in the UK . CONGRATULATIONS ON A REALLY INFORMATIVE AND ADDICTIVE CHANNEL. 😊
Just imagine if you were to dig down 50 feet what ancient treasures would be there from maybe 1000 years ago? I will wait for that video haha. But this one was great. I love those little badges
Отличные находки ! Тоже как то копался в старинной свалке в Москве ,на глубине 4 метра ,во время провеления там ремонтных работ , было очень много старого стекла
I would have thought that they would have needed all of the glass and other stuff recycled for the war effort, I remember seeing photos scrap stuff in the US bicycles piled high on debris piles with just about a little of everything on the pile, if anyone could help me understand why they did not I would appreciate it, once again an excellent program and as always thank you very much, I have been watching for a little while longer and maybe they threw this stuff in there after the war, they're all a mystery. I really enjoy seeing the digger when he gets excited,
They didn't do much glass recycling back then but I hear you. Such a waste while glass is easy to recycle. Thanks for watching the video and your kind words. Appreciate it!
Thats a nice green poison bottle, they are very collectable. The ribbed texture on the side of the bottle, was to alert someone who was maybe elderly with poor eyesight that it was dangerous. A very interesting dig, with best wishes from Wales.
I subscribed because there is a Turkish translation in your video and you are also energetic and sincere, you deserve many more subscriptions, good luck
Thank you for your kind words and subscribing to the channel. I hope the subtitles were any good? All most all videos on my channel have Turkish subtitles.
Some good money in all those finds. If you do sell them, that is. Just those green/aqua Gift Flasche bottles are worth $100-150 USD each unbroken or unchipped and in overall good shape. There's brown and clear bottles like that as well, in different sizes. The HY badges and sword are crazy finds, i'd be holding onto those!!
Hello from Georgia United States Mike (& guys)! I think it is so 😎 you guys sifting and digging to preserve history. The world should thank you. I do some metal detecting here but we only have history that goes back a few hundred years. Carry on lads!
My brother told me all the rubble and remains from the destroyed city of Munich were piled up just outside of present day Munich and covreed in dirt and grass. Is this true? Ever dug there?
Before watching this - wasn't destroyed Berlin piled into X 3 tips, like everything, from teaspoons, to knitting needles to Pervitin to all the pretty medals, badges and things of life at the point of annihilation. ¿?

Per that opening, that must be pretty far outside Berlin? No thick woodlands like that left near the city. Of course there could be in the Northwest and Western edges such as Spandau and beyond, but there wasn't that much combat there. Especially like there was in the East of course. He could be exploring a Trummerberg (rubble mountain). Just about every major German City has at least 1, probably a few. Especially when you see bricks mixed in with glass, porcelain and the likes. All dumped after the battles and preparation to rebuild which lasted into the early 90's.
Wow many finds that I have not seen before such as Nazi party pins etc. Predating ww2. I'm guessing that some of the Nazi branded stuff was tossed out at the end or after ww2. Great digs and finds. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, nice to read you enjoy the videos! :) What we find is never undamaged or in mint condition. But best find yet, depends on the mood but right now I would say the Panzerkampfabzeichen German Tanker's badge.
It still hurts to realize, that at the end of the war they also throwed perfectly functional weapons and ammunition into big pits. Can you imagine MP-40's, STG-44's, MG-42's and other weapons perfectly maintained up to the last day of the war. And now just laying in a pit with most of them unfortunally rusted to far to make it a wall hanger. In some cases when weapons are thrown into a lake or swamp, they can appear again in nearly mint condition. Because due to the mud and sludge at the bottom in a poorly oxygene enviroment, the weapons are protected from from getting rusty.
14:10 the crown means the shooting badge is imperial era like the sword. i think the 1st hj badge is probably a necktie stickpin showing the wearer is a supporter of the hj organization. that grenade lighter is awesome! ill bet the sign that said spoken was a sign for a resteraunt that was advertising "english spoken here".
Thanks! Didnt think about the crown on the eagle. You might be right. And that English spoken sign could well be for a restaurant. That's why I need you guys. I'm doing the digging, you do the detective work.

Hey buddy.

Thank you for attempting to preserve as much history as possible! It’s sad that most of it will be destroyed and forgotten!
this man deserves many more followers, greetings
Awwww, thanks!
....yeah.... We could become "Mike's Toxic Tribe"....A fine collection of bastards and misfits.
Enjoy watching you! Would love to be somewhere to be able to find such incredible history! My Dad was a Marine in the South Pacific, first company on Guam…my Uncle was shot down over Poland and nothing found of him….this touches my heart!
What an amazing assortment of finds, so many cool bottles and of course Mr Piggy
Mr piggy was the top find!
Hello from Southern Ukraine 🖐️😉 Video very, very beautiful ❤ My Super Big Like for your my dear friend 😊👍

Thanks! That sword was indeed cool to find.
So many nice finds too many to name. I'd love to hunt with you Mike. Digging up all that history.
Thanks Joe! It was a fun day being there. Hope that showed.
@@IronMikeMetaldetectingyou monkey
Mike, The 1940 HJ badge isnt WHW its a sports festival award. Only issued up until 1943. Nice find.
All the modern day realisable value in the cat piled ash of a ruined city which was almost the centre of a Reich, but not for long_ before tumbling.
Awesome finds, nice work guys. 👍❤
Thanks! And thanks for the 5 year sub anniversary!
What a great bunch of finds! Keep digging and detecting, Mike.
Parabéns pelo seu empenho em resgatar a história.

It is a bit of fun education to see and learn about badges and devices.
Thanks! Trying to teach you guys while I'm learning :-)
What a pleasure that dig must have been!!
Amazing stuff man, great video!
Thanks!
Been watching you for years. I think it’s the first comment I’ve left. Always enjoy your videos thanks from South Carolina. USA.
Perfect for putting in the museum about their ww2 history. People can check and learn from the study about people who are from 1920 to 1930 history.
Way cool!, Iam a old dump digger also years ago, lots of fun.😊
Oh my god so many good finds I'm so jealous! Congrats dudes
Wow, you guys are awesome. You have a honey pot there. Would love to find a place like that.
Loved every bottle hope to see more ❤❤❤❤
Iron Mike. Is there still places in Germany that you can excavate for weapons and other German war material or have most places been covered?
Glad for your efforts keeping the memory of history alive. Never forget, never repeat
I'll compliment, you're an awesome dude and I love the way you tell the stories of what you find.
awww thanks!! Appreciate that :)
The bottles are amazing 😊
Fascinating to see the things they are finding!
A dream that place for diggin'..awesome items everywhere!!
great place, but hard work (no complaint..)
Espero que después dejen todo igual tapando los agujeros 😂 buen video
Just imagine if you were to dig down 50 feet what ancient treasures would be there from maybe 1000 years ago? I will wait for that video haha. But this one was great. I love those little badges
Yup..... Maybe find a treasure of ancient stuff which would one day go to build Britain.

I was stationed in Germany 1957 -1959 ( best years of my life) and the coke bottles were white glass. I do have some coins with the swastika on them

What isnt right now! Filled up my car yesterday and had the feeling I paid in testicles
My German mom got me hooked on Maggi. (American Dad that was stationed in West Germany.)
Hoi Mike weer een top video in bij Berlin
Was een leuk dagje uit inderdaad :)
Awesome!!
Thanks Russel!

Could be! Never heard of it. But just like this landfill, Munich probably had one as well.
Шикарные находки . Супер.
Здравствуйте. В России я тоже копаю помойки на немецких позициях на севере Карелии. Я нашел много хороших находок. Желаю вам удачи в поиске

Interesting stuff.
thanks!
Funny to see the Spoken sign! In the Dutch language spoken means: many ghosts. 👻 👻
And there were many ghosts there 😉
There were! I counted three of them! ;)

Spoeken is a North German dialect word. It means 'speaking'. So, the tile appears to have contained a spell.
Thanks! I didn't know that!
Great finds, is the marksmanship badge imperial because of the crown and absence of swastka?
Wow many finds that I have not seen before such as Nazi party pins etc. Predating ww2. I'm guessing that some of the Nazi branded stuff was tossed out at the end or after ww2. Great digs and finds. Thanks for the video.
What is the best item you have found? I mean undamaged and in great condition? Love your videos all the best from Sweden🇸🇪
Thanks, nice to read you enjoy the videos! :)
What we find is never undamaged or in mint condition. But best find yet, depends on the mood but right now I would say the Panzerkampfabzeichen German Tanker's badge.
Do my ears deceive me or do I hear mjr carnyx in the background? . Some very cool finds my friend. Toxic bastard signing off 😜
You ears deceived you! That was probably Raoul talking.
And thanks for watching you toxic bastard! ;-)

Wow so what happens to all this stuff you find?
Mike, do you happen to know what ever happened to Klugscheisser Dan? I love his channel but he seemed to have vanished
No i don't, not in contact with Dan. Maybe he found a huge treasure and is now laying on some pretty white beach zipping away margaritas.
