Item @ 5:35 stamped metal "Eichen Laub" (Oak leaves w/ acorn) x 2 are left and right halves of a hollow stamped metal decorative piece. Der Eichen Laub (the Oak Leaf) is a very popular and powerful German symbol (likely from Nordic mythology) imbued with great significance, and therefore a commonly employed decoration found on many items ranging from furniture to clothing to fire arms.
Ive seen all your videos, checked them all in one year and now even enjoying the remastered videos, its great that your channel is so alive and i cant wait for the new videos in januari
I thought I had watched all your videos but i must have missed one because this was new to me. I decided to watch your remastered ones because I was going through Deep-Digger-Dan withdrawals waiting for your new ones that are coming in January. Watching your reruns is still better than anything I can find to watch on TV.
Your amazing Dan I'm a 41 year old woman from USA we only find rubish hear to see you find things far more valuable than silver and gold is a dream come true!
The item at 6:02 is a 'cockade' (front of hat military decoration for a 'Schirmutze' or other cap). Woops...then at 6;20 you have identified it.....The 'clamp' at 5:14 is for small diameter rubber tubing , as used in 'wet chemistry' labs up until the 1970's, when 'plastic tubing' became ubiquitous. The item at 8:45 is a low-voltage dynamo for a Bicycle electric lamp. The item was clamped at the back of the bicycle frame with the knurled wheel at the end swivelled over to make contact with the rear tyre, at night time. The low voltage d.c. power from the dynamo generator was connected by a brace of wires to the bicycle headlight.In use until the 1960's when battery-headlights became commonplace...)

if you have a jeweler's loop you can look at the diamonds. the diamonds if they are real will have tiny black spots inside of them. that is the carbon left over from their creation. if there are no black spots within the Diamonds then what you have is other glass, cubic zirconia, or some other crazy material.. good luck Dan. I love watching this show...
+Shawn Folstad You can buy a flawless diamond and it will have no black spots in it. They are very rare and you will pay the price for it but they are out there.
I’m probably one hundred percent wrong but being a guitarist I think that that clampy thingy may be a capo for some stringed instrument. I know that capos were very primitive back then but I have no clue how that might have gone on the neck. I want it to be a capo cause guitar is pretty much my life but I guess a torture device is kinda cooler......
Those are hungarian words and first names (used as codes) on the telephone from 12:06, like "Caution!, the enemy is listening!". = "Vigyázz, az ellenség lehallgat!" or "Do not push during listening!" = "Hallgatásnál ne nyomd!". Fantastic findings!
I'm a recent viewer...I think I have gotten the most excited over the phonetics list you found on these old phones, though the buckles excited me as well. But the list. Basic, mundane, everyday. That people like me use at my job. Very cool!
Please read: I just recently had surgery on my wrist and felt useless, then I watched your videos all day and wanted to start detecting for myself, but I can't get a job to go buy a detector so now it's just an unachievable dream. Anyway thanks for the amazing videos and keep doing what you do.
Around 13 minutes, you have a radio. The button in the middle of the handset is the PTT, Push To Talk, button that keyed the transmitter. The plate is the standard phonetics used to spell things. It would be hard to hear letters in static, so they came up with words for each letter that are easier to understand. So, if I were spelling your name over the radio, I could say D A N, but the D might sound like B if it's noisy. So in english, you would say Delta Alpha November, which would be clearer.
at 8:45 is a condenser to catch water vapes of the old engines form the 30-50;s not bad lol a lot of the old jeeps had them and the old VW army trucks nice/or ATV (Jeeps)and also later on had them on the AC units also.
for the item in the beginning that you said we're "squirrel handcuffs" . It looks like something that boot straps go through or maybe a belt . Some kind of strap holder thingy
the clamp you found is a HOFFMAN CLAMP the cylinder with the hole in the side looks like a cycle dynamo. the thing on the front of the phone is were the winding handle goes there should be one on the side as well.
It's not a thumb screw although it looks a bit like one, It looks very much like a tourniquet ratchet I could be wrong but it looks suspiciously like one to me.
5:12 I think it's a 'thumb crusher' where you basically place your victims thumbs inside, screw on the top and let the metal bare chrush the thumbs slowly, basically a torture device. Though i'm not sure of course, it could be a clamp to hold something together or stuff..
With the IV clamp, the Red Cross German belt buckle, the" test tube"; (Possibly a morphine ampoule?), and a field phones, I think there is a very good possibility you are on the site of an aid station.
at 12:35 the letter in the telephone is a hungarian letter which means : "When you listening, dont push!" It's kinda funny because this is the second phone that you found and the first phone was have the same letter :) I hope everybody can understand my english and sorty for the mistakes :)
at 5:26 is a tool for replanting a watch back to small for a thum clamp and not thick like most surgical alp clamps for a the time peried. no of no other reason to use such a clamp let me know if you find out thanks Ram
+Deep Digger Dan It could be ! I'm very sure ( is it drop or drip by the way ?) These things were still in use in the 60's and 70's when I worked in the hospital. Plastic variations that is.
The code names were next to the telephone 📞 and when a solider used to call for reinforcements whatever the soilders needed they said a code name and a type of force would come
Hello Dan i have the same clamp thing somewhere in our house i recone it was used for laboritory use to clamp and seal off rubber hoses if it was a milatary hospital it may have its uses for blood transplants ps i loved your wild scotland camping vidios
at 12"14 that is a old hand cranks tely it was used some with land lines some with out also some were used wit 3-2 battery with land lines with lying lines most had leather on the ear and mouth peaces that is my guess from the peaces I seen most were in wood boxes. yes wwII
Awesome! It's a hungarian phone.
12:30 "Don't press when you listening"
14:20 Watch out! The enemy is listening!
the clamp is a nipple clamp used in S & M.!

I mean really! You're making me feel like the Charlie Brown of detectorists - "What did you find? I got a rock."
Smart people acting dumb is so entertaining. I love these videos hahaha
+Deep Digger Dan its hilarious dude!
+Deep Digger Dan what do you do with all of these relics? I would love to get my hands on some, but I have no clue where to find it.
+Deep Digger Dan You've just ruined my illusions of you! haha
+Joshua “Jacamp003” Camp.... he has a site where he sells some of the stuff he finds
+BIGMAN FROM MICHIGAN hold up.... Where are you, UP or LP?
youtube just happened! i was just watching clips from pawn stars and ended up here, 17 videos later i cannot stop watching! what a guy!

Dan that little clamp looks like a watch makers clamp for holding watch movements in when you work on them
@5:19 it is indeed a clamp - we used to use those at school for controlling the flow of liquids through soft rubber hose.
the grenade thing from the "radiator" is a alternator (dynamo in dutch) for bicycles
Hahahahah nederlandsche "NUCHTERHEID"…bein' sober
those rectangle square things were old style batteries
to clean the box's use baking soda mixed in a glass or jar with an old toothbrush to clean & to remove the acid from the batteries.
The clamp is a "Hoffman Screw Compressor Clamp" and used to control the flow in flexible tubing in labs and the like.
That round thing looks like a bicycle dynamo
+Frank Hyland (FlatBrokeFrank) bicycle dynamo for shure : )
+Frank Hyland (FlatBrokeFrank) It is.

I can help but find it hilarious if some people hiking catch you dancing in front of a camera LOL
Congrats on the gold rings Dan.. Can't Curb your enthusiasm.. Lol
I'm a recent viewer...I think I have gotten the most excited over the phonetics list you found on these old phones, though the buckles excited me as well. But the list. Basic, mundane, everyday. That people like me use at my job. Very cool!
That shell you found at 8:33 looks like it has a fuse on the tip, making it an explosive shell.
Hi from Australia, i say golly good stuff old mate , keep up the good work .

"Ok we have what is it ?" lol
At 13:04 it's a ww1 ww2 telephones it comes in a metal box like an ammo crates usually in green metal box
it's definitely a clamp used on intervenous tubing during wwII!
The what is it you found is a hose clamp , i have used these many times on water features but i guess they have many uses.
That was a great adventure. Sweet gold too!
for the item in the beginning that you said we're "squirrel handcuffs" . It looks like something that boot straps go through or maybe a belt . Some kind of strap holder thingy
you found a WW2 german two way radio set set. Vigyazzi Ellenseg Lehallgat is german for "Watch Out Enemies Can Play Back"
the clamp you found is a HOFFMAN CLAMP the cylinder with the hole in the side looks like a cycle dynamo.

19:38
Dan we need some wild camping again!! Love that series.
Field phones. From fox hole to fox hole or pill box to forward observation they weren't carried just as I stated lol..!!! Nice find!!!
Dan is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!#awesome😀
Think the clamp device is some sort of thumb or finger screw, although it's a lot smaller then the ones used on knees
the clamp is used in automotive work to clamp off hoses so the don't leak i use them often
All that battery acid. It's pretty significant that it hasn't eaten away at the metal casings even more.
Nice hunt, at the End you got your own pair of Mobile phones ;-)
Hilarious, but still awesome finds 👍
nice u doing a good job Dan, and I love your videos.
It's a finger crusher that is touring matchene
The first one
+uhfnutbar1 ok
+conor rafferty it looks like a thumb screw
+conor rafferty I agree
It's not a thumb screw although it looks a bit like one, It looks very much like a tourniquet ratchet I could be wrong but it looks suspiciously like one to me.
5:15 I'm pretty sure that is a medieval torture device called a finger screw a thumb screw or a finger or thumb clamp I'm not sure
The small clamp looks like a thumb screw, a torture device. I'm not 100% sure but it looks very much like one.
2:45 - Come on Dan. At least show some emotion about your finds.
The oak leaves and the "clip" at 5:34 are from a german WW2 Officers Hat.
Well 2 of the 3 were the same style the top one looked to be the old crank style still nice you in a hot bed of finds great job and good luck .
5:13 That's a thumbscrew it's a torture device
the clamp like thing is probably a thumb crusher which was an old torture method
the clamp thing was used to squash peoples thumbs till that bleed(torched method)
5:12 I think it's a 'thumb crusher' where you basically place your victims thumbs inside, screw on the top and let the metal bare chrush the thumbs slowly, basically a torture device.
Though i'm not sure of course, it could be a clamp to hold something together or stuff..
+GoldMinerDK looks like a hose clamp.
Iron Pirate probably, kinda looks the same
good finds Dan what metal detector do u use?
The thing you think is a clamp I believe is a torture device, back then they would smash your fingers 5:09
the oak leaves thing is the half of a german offishers cap badge
the screw thing looks like a medieval torture tool called a thumbscrew
the button you found at the start of the episode is the clip from a Luger pistol's magazine
I think the cylinder thing u found at 8:34 is a High Explosive (HE) tank shell! Yikes
that clamp like thing, it looks like them devices you use to put your bike chain back on ?
squirrels handcuffs 😂😂
With the IV clamp, the Red Cross German belt buckle, the" test tube"; (Possibly a morphine ampoule?), and a field phones, I think there is a very good possibility you are on the site of an aid station.
at 12:35 the letter in the telephone is a hungarian letter which means : "When you listening, dont push!" It's kinda funny because this is the second phone that you found and the first phone was have the same letter :) I hope everybody can understand my english and sorty for the mistakes :)
Dan, That clampy thing you found is a medical clamp for clamping off an IV tube.
