Back to a few years ago... Love it when the old stuff is just as exciting as some of the new. I think I noticed a bit of a thrill when you returned to your old times - magnet fishing. Loved the video Chris...

I experienced a thrill to discover such a great lake again. We will be back this Summer. Hopefully we will find more and I can record another magnet fishing video. Thanks for watching!

Always love it when you guys do this kind of relic hunting, the finds are so cool! i am jeleous😍

The grenade you pulled outof the water is an m43, what's weird was the metal rod inserted where the igniter/detonator would be located (on the top of the pot) good on you for not handling it, could have been set to explode randomly.

For those wondering, Sauer would later partner with Swiss manufacturer SIG in the 70s. The history of happened after ww2 is very interesting.

Your excitement is as good as the artifact. Thanks for sharing these bits of history.

It will never stop amazing me. The mysterious history of these items, the fact that probably the last human to touch these was someone Over 70 years ago, maybe even more.. For me, after visiting the Bundeswehr museum in Dresden, world wars get even more fascinating and extremely sad at the same time. Thank you very much sir for this content. Let’s all be grateful that our generation is not the one who have to experience the massacres of the previous century.

Awesome finds, I’m a WWII history nerd, love learning about what you guys find, great job!

First time viewer of your channel. We magnet fish too, but in the desert in the USA so we would never have the opportunity to find what you find. What awesome stuff! omg.

Really interesting finds & thanks to all of u for searching to preserve history & making it so interesting; the photos included are always helpful to better understand what's been found--great job!🇺🇸

Once again excellent finds.must be a right proper buzz finding them

That is awesome that you can keep finding weapons in the water in decent shape. Well, you can tell what they are at least. Great video. I'd like to see more of that kind of stuff.

The bayonet and holder were awesome as was that beautiful Sauer pistol! I'm glad you didn't handle that grenade, dangerous find indeed. I know your friend was excited that he found the helmet. Nice video. 💖💯

Sir, pretty awesome finds. Congratulations. That would be cool to hunt with you. Take Care

Those things are amongst the best ones I ever imagined, hope that I find those finds...Cheers Chris

Wow! Such amazing finds! Definitely would be worth going back to the pond in the near future!

The Sauer & Sons pistol was a .32 Caliber (like the Walter PP and some PPKs). It was called the 38H, but that designated the design year, not caliber. .32 is widely considered underpowered now, but back then it was a common round, and evidently did the job. I own two Walther PP pistols - former detective issue in Germany well after WWII. The cool thing is that some features of that pistol are present in modern SIG-Sauer pistols. The Airborne guys probably liked it for its internal hammer in the H model. Less likely to catch on something and easier to draw. If those Bakelite grips are in good condition you have some money there. Most have been chipped or broken over the years, and that Sauer emblem one is highly desirable. I think it was only on one side though. The Luger is the most prized pistol from that era. It was a 9mm, so more powerful than the others the Germans issued. Meanwhile, the US was using .45 and .38 Special and a few .32 ACP for high ranking officers. Some were revolvers. Great finds! You need to go back there with a small boat and go further out.

Do any of the guns still fire? After cleaning of course ❤

This was excellent. So many nice finds. The owner of the GSG MP40 probably tossed it in the water after being disgusted with the poor quality. They are very cheaply made.

What are you doing with all these amazing finds?

The scabbard you have found is for a Czech Vz24 bayonet. The Germans used them and Waffenwerke Brünn made some for the Wehrmacht.

That sword is a model 1889 infantry imperial WW1 infantry officer's sword.

as a weapon collector I have many WW1 and 2 weapons in my collection the firearms all still work and fire perfectly I keep them in good working order being historical weapons

Great video, but I'm curious as to why, when the helmet was found, no mention was made of the holes &/or what looked to be penetration(s) of shrapnel?🤔🇺🇸

More videos like this!!!

Imagine what you will find after ww3 is finished.

Whoah, awesome video ! Thanks

Another long awaited video,I watched the end of the premiere! But watching your girlfriend find more K98 parts,seems like a chain reaction XD Wonderful video again!

8:53 Interesting, never seen with a sapper fuse attached. Maybe someone tried to use it for fishing😃

how come I can never find cool stuff like this this stuff is very cool

Guess you have to live in europe and travel the battlefields of the 1940s

amaizing finds can you really keepall the gunns and gun parts.

According to my grandfather the German soldiers that were running ditched their weapons so they could surrender unarmed. They would shout that they were unarmed.

so cool!

Awesome

I wonder where do you guys put all of these

Salam dari Indonesia

Lov your videos ..do you ever it is best to leave some item's that may be personally connected to a soldier so they can rest in total PEACE ? WAR IS SO WRONG .

Your awesome!

It would be cool for the pistol you found if you could possibly restore it

Love yourcontent

Grate video today

I think that helmet might have had a shrapnel or bullet hole in it on the top

There are countless locations in (Eastern) Germany were you can find dump sites of weapons and ammunition. You just have to do some homework.

Siempre me ago la misma pregunta Hace poco comente un video y no me respondiste. Yo quiero saver si eligen donde ir a detectar. Por otro lado quiero saver si donde esta esa laguna siempre hubo agua ahy o solo habia tierra. Muchas gracias y muy bueno el video

Nice

Amazing finds 👏 about 20 years ago I knew a ww2 veteran who had brought home some German weapons from his time in Europe. I bought them, a German marked K98 Mauser, a NSDAP marked Walther PP, and a Walther PPK in its original leather holster.

@Ed The 1owa pyr0 I sold the K98 to a friend who wanted a good deer rifle, 8mm ammo was virtually unavailable back then, the Walther PP I sold at a gun show for $800, which back then I thought was fair, the PPK I traded even for a S&W model 27. I don't know how familiar you are with firearms, but the S&W 27 is a high dollar and very collectable revolver. Hindsight being 20/20, those three ww2 battlefield captures would be very valuable today.

Yeah, the watterlogged mud makes for an oxygen poor enviornment which increases preservation.

Bravo à vous jolies trouvailles 👍😉

Why did u throw away the ammunition that was with the pistol? If thats because of police then it doesnt matter because pistol is still a pistol and a police will probably take it away either way

Are you dutch?

@bientôt👍

BE careful with bakelite. If you manage to break it, many bad chemicals and asbestos WILL go out into the air. Bakelite is known for it's good fire and electrical resistance - That resistance is Asbestos layers INSIDE the bakelite grips/parts. Not mentioning the bakelite safety, great video. Keep it up, good luck with relics and tresures!
