I’m amazed at how everything’s in such good condition considering being buried for best part of 80 years. Can only guess the grounds full of clay and has shielded it from decay possibly. Great video!
The mud has sealed off these items from the air which would have corroded it. These belts and other items will probably be in the same condition for centuries under that tightly packed clay.
I worked on the island of Guadalcanal about 10 years ago. I found everything from pistols, bayonets, helmets, water canteens, Japanese spectacles, exploded mortars, machine guns including a Thompson, revolvers, US dog tags, US tank, P-38 Lightning and a US trench knife with brass knuckles and 5 notches on the handle. All you need is a metal detector.
@@SwedishEmpire1700 Gave most of it to the Honiara museum. Some of it I brought home. Now go stand in a corner and think about the stupid comment you made.
Former shelters can be found with the naked eye, even after 70 or 80 years, if you recognise the signs. The changes on the surface are concise and allow conclusions to be drawn, the rest is hard work with a shovel

My great grandfather. going strong at 100 years young, served in the Philippines campaign against the Japanese army which was taking the Philippines under control of Imperial Japan. He told me stories of how cumbersome it was running off the carrier onto those Philippines beaches with all the gear strapped to him and his rifle. Huge respect to him
@@wahoo. I watched the series The Pacific, it shows the harsh, cruel reality that our grandparents lived through, nationality does not matter, we are all human. They certainly did not offer to go to "hell" willingly.
It almost looks like the mud has almost preserved some of these relics. Some would say leave them in the ground because of what they signify and are attached to. Others would say preserve them as a piece of history. Something to say just how far we’ve come since those dark times. Good on you for doing all that work to uncover the past
And yet, on the same lands, dugouts are dug again, mortars fired, and german panzers are rolling… people with their yearn for power will always exist, at the cost of simple and idealistic men.
@@Lecruque Only Germans? None from France, England and the USA? It's sad that tanks have to roll for more than just training purposes to defend the freedom of a people.
I appreciate your hard work, and I'm in love with your truck, but I sure would like to show you a real shovel. I dig for Indian artifacts, and use a sharpened version of a "caprock" shovel that can be delicate, when needed, but will also chop right thru large oak tree roots
If you do more. You may want to look into keeping some of those items wet until boiling in oil. You can get very fast decay. That oxidation has been waiting for years for more oxygen. A lot like scuba treasure leather rubber brass glass don't seem to decay. The leather shoes by titanic NOTHING else left but pairs of shoes next to each other.

You would be shocked , depends on the conditions , oxygen and such , theres things that people have found buried in mines such as wood handled pickaxes from 100 years ago buried in dirt mud and water and they arent rotted
I have watched several of these videos. I wonder if these people are freelancers or EOD. I have seen some dig up cases of Panzerfausts ,grenades and mines of various types some of which look pristine condition to the point they might possibly be reconditioned to a useable conditions. I would be curious how many people blow themselves up each year.
As a German, I naturally also ask myself the question of the fate of the people who once owned these things. Even though they had no business in this country, I somehow feel sorry for them! 😔

Es ist schon erstaunlich, wie gut die Gegenstände nach dieser langen Zeit noch erhalten sind. Warum gibt es an dieser Fundstelle nur Ausrüstungsgegenstände und keine menschlichen Überreste?
Die haut produte sind gut erhalten weil die waren in erde ohne luft usw. Und es gibts keine knochen weil die soldaten haben gefucht die wolten nicht gefangen sein
@@ichniemand Wohl sehr fraglich? Es war in der Wehrmacht nicht üblich, alle Ausrüstungsgegenstände und Persönliches zurück zulassen.

Curious…. What country location are you digging in. In the 90’s I was stationed in Italy and they still had pillboxes intact in the rural area of the country. I never really stopped to look around as I had my family with me. But it always caught my interest wondering why some of the fortifications were built.
I have wrote about ww2 since a kid and what you are doing is a dream of mine I'm ill and wish I could my wish was to own a true battle German helmet and a British one but to see what your pulling out the ground is mind blowing as its in such good condition thank you so much for saving these historical items and wish you all the best in the future 😎✌️🇬🇧
As an archaeologist, I really hope you did proper documentation of all the artifacts you found and that you did other stuff like take photos within the context and create datapoints on a GIS system to show the spread of artifacts. What you seem to have here is a historical archaeological site. All archaeological sites are deserving of proper documentation, regardless of their historical significance.
Thank you for doing this and sharing with us your adventures. Question: What do you do with things like unexploded grenades, ammo, and other explosives you find?
I imagine they inform the authorities. Countries like France and Germany with a lot of ww2 battlefields have officers who are specialised in dealing with these safely
It really would be very helpful to add in the geographic locations. Is this somewhere on the Eastern Front ? Which was wide enough. And how do you know to dig in THAT spot ?
The mud has preserved that stuff so well! You want to put it in jars and sell it as a face mask for people to rejuvenate their skin! Do you sell any of these artefacts you find or is it for your private collection?
I would seriously like to ask what your asking price is for the belt w/aluminum buckle, the magazine pouches and the bayonet w/ frog? Those are pristine for being in the mud for as long as they have been. They would be an excellent addition to the Mauser 98k that I have. Thank you.
Hello. Like your channel very much! Excellent! Could you make a video of the restoration of the german germany buckle with cleaning and painting!? Thanks in advance! 🤝
Extremely interesting video. I'm amazed at all the objects and relics you have found in their good condition. I can't help but wonder why they were left there in that dugout or Bunker. I'm assuming that the Germans had to leave very quickly or perhaps some of them were killed close by. Perhaps bodies were exhumed and everything else was just left there.
Посмотрите кадры про мясной бор! Это под Ленинградом! Там 5 или 6 фильмов от самых первых раскопок 50 годов! Там до сих пор солдат подымают! Я смотрел! Представлял что там творилось! Жуть! Как наши отцы и деды это выдержали!
I check with a metal detector and if there is a signal, I dig. And even if there is no signal, I also dig. Several empty bunkers come across a bunker with finds.
So interesting to see history being dug up so long ago makes one wonder who the soldiers were before the war there lives there family carried these weapons into war not knowing the inevitable

This is so awesome, notice how the mud and clay prevented all of the wear and corrosion.
Thanks for Sharing
Love the History, so worth Watching all the treasures/Relics you find. Lots of hard work involved doing this. Nice rewarding Finds!
Incredible find after all these years buried. Nice collection of military artifacts.
Neat, I had one of those K98 bayonets, intact, in its metal scabbard, recovered from Normandy, 82. It was stolen from a locked DCC desk at work in 95.
Great video and awesome finds. Can't wait for your next discovery.
Lots of hard work but your perseverance paid of in the end.nice finds
how do you know where to find the dugouts? do you just look around until you find one or do you know where they are before you set out?
They got real maps from that time and they know exactly where to find stuff
Former shelters can be found with the naked eye, even after 70 or 80 years, if you recognise the signs. The changes on the surface are concise and allow conclusions to be drawn, the rest is hard work with a shovel

Digging in old trenches and foxholes seems like a good way to dig up old munitions and live rounds, as illustrated in this video.
Munitions might be old but can still blow up. 💥🙆♂💀
Fantastic video, and thanks a lot. There is so much history to unearth. You're all doing a great job. Colin ( England ).

Well done for digging in the conditions they would have lived and fought in. That dig for me would have been amazing and upsetting at the same time.

Amazing finds. I wonder, which location and corressponding battle are they?
Interesting video. I particularly like the "super" Niva 4x4. Would be good to see a video on that vehicle.
I wasn't aware that wood and leather could remain buried that long without rotting completely. Hmmm...
You would be shocked , depends on the conditions , oxygen and such , theres things that people have found buried in mines such as wood handled pickaxes from 100 years ago buried in dirt mud and water and they arent rotted
In airtight non-acidic mud almost anything remains. Absolute best soil to find relics in.
What I learned over the years buried in the dirt and deep in the ground at times preserves it
Ok

Lack of oxygen, hence preservation.
Thank you for sharing this with us. You are amazing. Just please be careful that the sides don't collapse on you. Take a friend with you just in case.

Never heard of someone blowing himself up or got injured.
Or being put back into service.
@@LoekBerkepies I've seen another video channel where a guy has found a live munition/mortar - called in German EOD for disposal and they blew it up.

The fate of those German soldiers well you know lol
I'm not a German guy, but I feel sorry for them as well. They were caught up in something that didn't end well for them. Very sad.
I feel very sorry for them as I do all the young men and women on all sides. They gave their lives fighting for their country
One could say the same about mass Im migration into the west.
