Well Josh, I don't know. What do you think "archaeologists" have been doing for the past hundred years in the desserts of Arabia, the mountains of Africa and South-America? I don't think they took the 4x4 with the metal-detectors. And what these guys are doing is stupid and disrespectful to history. First, those Hafthohlladüngen looked pretty intact and although they look rusty on the outside, if the fuses are still intact and the inside charge isn't eaten, I wouldn't handle em like that. Second, why not dig a little bit further and take those crates out gently. They would have been intact. A little patience goes far. Every collector knows that. This is just plundering.

Are the bullets still able to be fired if cleaned up? Or is the gun powder not good anymore?

How do they find places to dig ? Are they random ? Do they have information from internet or maps ?

Although it’s amazing to find these relics it’s a sad reminder of such a horrible war on your soil.

Thank goodness you dug that out of the ground after 80years of preservation so you could just rip it apart and destroy

those mines are a shaped charge. when they explode they invert that cone and turn into a super hot molten jet of metal that punches a hole in the armor. this is why they need the standoff distance provided by the magnetic legs

It’s also a shame that there’s so much senseless destruction - and it does seem dangerous. I loved Time Team but they were bona fide archeologists. They worked with a huge level of knowledge and had a deep respect for the fallen.

Hello I've recently started watching your videos and I just wonder all the ammo and explosives you are finding, what are you doing with them after? Giving it to police to destroy it or they are going into museum? Are they paying you for this amazing finds?

Nonsense. You can buy 8mm Mauser (7,92mm) everywhere nowadays. And old casings might be expensive but waaaay less than $100. I believe zib militaria from Germany used to sell them for around $4 - ready for export to the US as they had their powder charge removed.

@@bobhenry6159 putting powder into the original casing is easy. All old boomers reload their brass. $5 for the original brass&bullet, a few cents for the powder and primer, and you have yourself a cartridge indistinguishable from what Hans would have used on the eastern front. It's even better than using originals as the primers will have degraded by now to such an extend that it takes a second or two to ignite the powder. It's extremely irritating if you know what I'm talking about. Plus with 100% OG rounds you never know how it was stored which greatly impacts the pressure.
