    Hello ! ...and...welcome back ! ;-)
    Really interesting finds / WW2 relics !
    8:12 : maybe...from a 11x58R austrian werndl model 1877 - the M1867 Werndl-Holub rifle
    Interesting the place where you found it...in fact the place/time frame...(WW2)...who knows...maybe a Volkssturm 'soldier' used that old rifle... OR... it's a sign of some hunting 'activity'... ! Anyway...some more cleaning will be useful I think !
    I found few ammo stripper clips 'made in Germany' but...all of them rusted... ;-( (made from iron/steel) but a lot of czech ammo stripper clips - Zbrojovka Brno, few of them with the "Z" stamp, all of them made from brass (from the ZB vz 24 rifle...)...
    In this exploration you were..."under the pressure of time" BUT...next time... That place/area looks very 'promising' !
    Good luck !

    Hi, Nick! I'm so glad you haven't melted into a puddle!!!
    Love your finds, and I completely understand about it being too hot to detect much. I appreciate what you did find! Gotta love those shell casings, whoever they belonged to, and you found a stripper clip full of German ones! And a bayonet!!!
    Please try not to get too hot in these crazy weather days! We in the southern US have been around 100--105 degrees farenheit each day, so we absolutely depend on air conditioning!
    Take care! Cindy

    Hi Nick. I think it very likely the bell you found was used to tie to a barbed wire fence, so if the fence was disturbed by someone trying to get through it, the bell would set off an audible alarm. That is a very rare find!

      That's awesome!!
      First, learn a lot before buying, maybe get on a forum for questions etc!
      Buy your items at known militaria shops with lifetime guarantee of authenticity so you won't lose your money for fake stuff!
      It's a great hobby, just save your money, don't smoke, don't drink, and you will have a great collection!
      Good Luck!!

      @garge7676 5 лет назад

      Ryan Bain Adding to what he said, the warrelics.eu forum helped me a lot personally. Saves me from getting burned on a polizei Stahlhelm. If you metal detect, as long as you don’t come across any explosives you should be fine. If you do, either just leave it or call local authorities (I recommend the latter). Stay away from eBay unless you know what you’re looking at, and focus on one part of collection. Don’t think you can simultaneously make a collection of WWII German items and WWI American items. Focus on one of them, and if you wanna be more specific, focus on a specific branch that you find interesting. If I followed this advice when I started when I was 11, I’d have a lot more! Oh, and one last thing: quality over quantity. Hope you enjoy the hobby, and enjoy it as much as I do!

    That small bell is a crotal bell. Possibly middle ages or before. Nice that you have access to the Siegfried Line to metal detect. The dragon's teeth were interesting. The scale of what was built during WWII was amazing. That's why there is so much left 75 years later.

    12:39 I had to consult my Cartridges Of The World book on that one. I believe that is either a 11.15x60R Mauser or a 11x59 Gras cartridge. Hard to tell because the two look so similar but the case length and neck diameter I think would narrow it down. Could also possibly be a 11.15x58R Austrian Werndl M77. Measuring the case length I think might tell us which one it is.

    It's my lucky day! I was detecting a rather boring field when I found a horseshoe, then a few minutes later I found a chauchat machine gun! I'm cleaning it up at the moment, looks like it was used in the defence of France in 1939, actually made in 1917, interestingly there was a shell jammed in the breach, probably why they threw it away!

    Lucky to live close to that history. Unfortunately we don’t have history like that here. You can find civil war balls and maybe balls from revolutionary war but nothing like that.

    Sappige vondsten. Het is inderdaad echt warm met die hittegolf. Ik was laatst met een magneet aan het zoeken en het is gewoon niet te doen met die warmte als je in de zon staat

    The weird shell casing looks like a french 8mm lebel casing the primer was recessed into the case to prevent a accidental discharge in the magazine tube of the lebel but it could have been fired from a bertier rifle I dont know why the casing would be so damaged like that
