Metal Detecting WWII Battlegrounds
Metal Detecting WWII Battlegrounds
My name is Chris, I’m 29 years old and I have a passion for WW2 history. The silent WW2 reminders in and around my home in Europe nourished my passion for WW2 history while growing up. In 2010, I decided to pick up a metal detector and set out on a journey to recover lost artifacts and their untold stories, that I could share with the world. Follow me during these educational metal detecting documentaries where we share these WW2 stories!

Artifacts, not “equipment.”
For someone whose relatives fought and died in this battle, thanks for sharing with us your search and finds in this video!
That mp40 was amazing
Why is there sand
I do know my dad was in the Ardennes. There is buried blood from WW II. Dad's unit was expecting wounded, and the wounded never came. CO told Dad to bury the excess blood. Dad said there were a lot of bottles. Part of Pattons 3rd Army, 642nd Medical Clearing House. Dad was a med tech level 5. He had his training at Fletcher General hospital in Ohio.
Great video, I have a question why is the ground like sand in some places ?
How does it works? Do you go for several days? Or do you stay anywhere around some good spots? Because I can imagine it’s a lot of traveling when you only go for one day of detecting and then go home again. Veel heen en weer reizen voor een dagje zoeken, of combineer je dit met een paar dagen en dan weer naar huis?
I would not want you to dig up 80yr old mortar rounds they could go bang very easily once disturbed 😳
i need you to take me with you everytime you go to find stuff! i have a mission in life...first of..i need to be there
You probably get this all the time, but you sound a lot like max verstappen. Anyways great vid man.
Wow you did great 😊
Plane parts ,maybe magnetos??

Your videos are so historical and educational. You guys are truly saving history. Keep up the outstanding work.
That is what we try to do! Thanks for the support!
The fastening pins on the back of those pips and numbers have never been used. They are obviously replacements if you think about it!
Wow what you are finding is amazing so much history
La mayoría del armamento de los ingleses siempre era inferior al alemán; sólo en tema aéreo y naval estaba parejo; si los Americanos no les hubiesen aportado su ayuda, Churchil en vez de puros, se hubiera fumado los pelos del sobaco.
Not sure when but KZread unsubscribed me from your channel. I just realized that I hadn't seen any videos from you in months Actually I believe the last one I saw in my notifications was the second or third that had your girlfriend in it.
Welcome back to the channel!
How do you get permission to dig here?
Да, помойка попалась вам богатая.
That is so cool to stand where many brave men stood and did their duty and more these guys should leave that ordinance alone and dont say anything after all it was buried so people wouldn't use it as over time it decays and is less of a threat
It's amazing to think that most of your finds would initially have been just lying on top of the ground and then nature began to take them. I love watching you all, I do a little amateur detecting and never have found anything old.
The English penny is worth collecting if you haven't already sold it.
how do you find these locations? Me and my buddy recently begun medal detecting. Whe went to Vroenhoven brug because there was heavy fighting, but when found 1coin (not from ww2) and scrap metal…
Damned if I'd be digging around those sites. Never can tell if there's any UXO laying around. Even today UXO is still being found throughout Germany, France and Italy.
Latrine pit the oil is to burn the faeces
COMMON SENCE is far away herr, ,
Why is there a "Mutterkreuz" for german mothers t the front?
German wooden bullet ammo was used in combat. I had a WWII friend that was injured near the end of the war and he was shot at close range with a 8mm German rifle and firing a wooden bullet. The bullets hit him in the hip and he had a very long recovery because the bullet broke into many little pieces and his leg was almost removed because of the infection from the wooden piece that were still in him. He suffered his whole life from his wound.
great finds, must be in holland in the market garden drop areas
MUY BUEN VIDEO, FELICITACIONES POR LOS ALLASGOS UN SALUDO DESDE BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA
What do you do with the mortars you found? You should give EOD a call
this is the type of hit that future archeologists will find under kentucky ballistics range
