You are blessed to have a son who is so fine and he is blessed to have a father who loves him and spends time with him, it is good that you two have such a good relationship.Brian
I bet Europe is covered in treasure. Someone told me once, in America, 200 years is a long time ago, but in Europe 200 miles is a long way to drive. Always liked that. Good video. Love the German people and culture.
SixSentSoldiers yeah, even in the UK as a kid my family would travel like 40 miles and that was our vacation, sometimes we would go to Wales which is a little further, but not really very far when compared to how far people commute to work in Australia and the US, our roads aren't as straight though so it seems further than it is. but yeah, you could metal detect here and dig something up that is 2000 years old, I went on school trips as a kid to medievil castles and excavated Roman villas, in that sense we are very lucky.
That is so true. Here in Australia the indigenous history goes back beyond 40,000 years but if you are talking European occupation of this country its less than 250 years.( even less in some of the other states) l'm happy if l can detect something that is 50 years old!
At 4:05 you are holding a Adjustment plate/grabber plate. These things were used (still today) to adjust things like a Tripod( for guns) Seats for the aming spot on field cannons, i personally know these from bicycle seats. Its one of a pair . (To loosen the bold would give space between the "Grabbers" so it can be moved to any position. When done, then tighten the nut on the bold for a tight position.
(Don't mind my profile photo, I made this in seventh grade!) I like how respectful you are with the items you find. I would have tried to squeeze the toothpaste or would have stick a finger inside the gooey container. Seeing how mindful you are really shows that you respect the lives that were lost in the area and the history you are getting to uncover!
Looks kind of big for that...I was thinking motorcycle seat because they were much larger and needed beefier hardware to keep it from loosening from constant vibration...I`m not an expert of German bicycles or motorcycles,so I am just really guessing.more than knowing.
What gets me about all of these gun finds and casings from the war is the thought that these are not things soldiers would just leave behind. You never leave your gun behind and just go. Which means one very clear and eerie thing: those guns are there because the people holding them died. Likely right on that spot. And the spent casings - every one of those was fired at another human being. Kind of brings a sense of reverence to the whole hobby.
good videos these ones from nearby Berlin and good finds as well. I was living and detecting in those areas for a while a probably I shot my best videos in those forests, I am missing those spots so much. It was good to see again those familiar places and finds in your videos. thanx! Italian greetings from Scandinavia :)
nofgood You're right! I was just putting together the two pieces under seat which attaches with nut and bolt going through the hole in that to the two bars running along either side under seat, then to seat post. I was wracking my brain cuz had just seen it on my son's bike. Thanks
02:20 is a 20x99mmR casing from a soviet ShVAK autocannon.. It was mounted in a lot of planes, so usually when you find one, there's more. If it was a strafe you can some times track the casing in a line to a target.
That part around 4:20 you are holding is in my opinion a clamp for a headlight of a motorcycle to secure it, or a clamp from the seat of a motorcycle. Same kind of thing what we use in the Netherlands to fit the seat on our bicycles.
The metal piece that looks like it has a sun around a hole is from one side of a seat clamp from a bicycle seat or motorcycle seat. The clamp has a few of these that help adjust the seat against the seat post.
Thanks Eric for helping me out. You're the second one pointing out that it must be part of a motorcycle, so I guess you guys are right. I'll have to find the rest of the motorcycle now :)
I worked at Teufelsberg from 1989 until 1991. we would often use our metal detector in the forest surrounding us. we found much shoe polish and toothpaste also. We also discovered many things of household nature, and I believe it is because of the rubble being transported from the city. It was a good place for us to explore.
The tin with the symbol embossed on it looks like crossed keys to me. Not sure what it would symbolize, but I believe you can see the teeth of the key opposite the circular ends. Probably a trademark of some sort.
Love watching what you guys find. I live in the us but would love to explore wwll sites. Been to Germany a few times in the military but never had enough time to explore.. love the videos
the thing with the grooves looks like a part for a bicycle seat. There are 2 per side so 4 total. the pair would tighten together with a bolt going through them and you can adujst your seat via the grooves up and down. Think 10-speed bike seat.
that one object you ask for help with I think it was the first one had an adjustment screw on it and it was used for holding the position of an instrument or object
Hi Mike l find your videos fantastic & always look forward to them. The German Army is one l have admired for a very long time. There were the Nazis then there was the ordinary German soldier that just wanted to get the war over & done with & get back to love ones & live a simple life. I look at your finds & just wish l was there & detecting with you. Cheers Mate from 'down under' in Oz.
Could also be part of an old motorcycle head light (BMWs had something similar all they way to the 90's, some Urals still do). Used to lock in the head light adjustment.
I love metal detecting videos, there's just something about finding a piece of history and picturing how it ended up in the ground! Would it be possible to find documents of battles, or areas of conflict from WW2 and dig those sites?
If you have found documents or the librarians, perhaps a local history museum has them, you could locate a site from them to explore and dig! The internet has a lot of maps and information, I will try to find some sites of interest, keep up the good work buddy!
Ah I see. Of course, that's s the best way to find a good spot. lots of reading and check old maps, also try to ask older local people of they know anything. And of course you need a bit of luck.
The first two pieces of history he found (the wig and the underwear) was easy to picture how they ended up there. I'm still trying to get that picture out of my head. :-)
Seriously, Berlin is littered with scrap. When I was 8 years old the playground in my neighborhood got an overhaul. I made friends with one of the workers and he gave me all the rusty metal things.
That piece is part of a bracket for an exterior rear view mirror. Used to hold it at desired angle. Still used on many military vehicles to this day. Likely knocked off by a tree branch.
hahaha sounds like one of my trips, found a pair of knickers covered in dried up...errrr number 2...and then found bear paw prints and a tshirt that was ripped. Kinda assumed someone was mauled but didn't find anything else after that.
The rippled part you found is a locking mechanism, like on a walmart bike seat, there’s usually another side that meshes with the teeth of the other, so you can loosen a screw rotate whatever the thing is, tighten the screw, and the thing won’t rotate anymore.
the item found four and a half mins into video is half a bracket for a bicycle saddle, the grooves around the hole are for a grooved locking washer, this gives better grip and prevents the seat from rotating.
The large button found by son is an early 19th century officers button. also may i say that the buttons You find are easy to sell, if the shank is remaining. Military re enactors will buy them to improve the appearance of their uniforms. Each button could fetch £1. Even the dish type shirt buttons or zeltbahn grommet ring are easily saleable scraps of metal. Heel plates from boots, grip studs small buckles, straps etc. All ww2 scrap metal makes a sale. German particularly sells well.
@4:20 that resembles a star washer used for a semi adjustable mechanical connection such as the seat to the seat post of a bicycle or some other hardware configuration of a military type that might be pivoted to a different angle from time to time but remain fixed most of the time.
I believe that the object @ 4:15 is a bicycle/moped "veerring", in dutch to make it simple. Retaining clip, likely from a pre-ww2 bike. Could be war related (notched clip), lots of possibilities.
schoenpoets ah!...de geur alleen al yes!.. dan voel ik me altijd thuis! met die geur! als ik mijn oude slinger koffergrammofoons een finishing toutch geef dan is het bijna altijd met vintage schoensmeeer!! uit de grond of.. container!!
It's a rare variety of a Fig tree - Wig tree. Unfortunately there is all the same social levels in the forest as in our cities - so ya, even "skid" row with the undies...ya Jack Canada...aye

Great afternoon with your son. It's awesome to see a father and son enjoying the hobby together.

@UCcVxcAbKLJp6pQIq_qDuoIg 100% dutch... i should know ;) i am dutch.
1:52 "waar zijn je handschoenen?"
@@tollundman7524 yes but it might be harder to find indigenous artifacts as they were seldom made from metal..
What I think was your best find is a wonderful time you and your son found together.

+Iron Mike. The piece you found looks like the lock in groove tap on an adjustable fulcrum for anything that has adjustable positions.
The piece is part of a bycicle sadle.
Thanks for the fun day.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Mike & Robin
Thanks Mike & Robin ! Happy new year!
That is my underwear, but please keep ik, as a token of my gratitude for honest finfing a piece of my dresscode treasure.
Haha the wig looked great on you! Happy hunting and great finds!
I once found a woman in the woods. Took her with me. Someday she will calm down.
+1337fraggzb00N Good thing I left her there.
k, danke
Großartig - hast mir den Morgen gerettet!
1337fraggzb00N ok creepy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🏴
Wow, a 17th century button? Such an uninspiring piece of metal at first glance. Very nice find.
The metal bit is off a bicycle seat there is two off them which lock together
to stop the seat from tilting up and down
thanks John!
john mcgee, I concur...it is a bike part.👍
john mcgee Or possibly a WW2 Motorcycle!
Yes Clarence could be off an old motorcycle with saddle seat WW2
Yes, I think you are right! Great call!
The Wehrmacht used bicycles often.
good videos these ones from nearby Berlin and good finds as well. I was living and detecting in those areas for a while a probably I shot my best videos in those forests, I am missing those spots so much.

Joshua Hugo evory day u learn somthing else lol.
thise things are a dragg. I hate adjusting bike and moped seats.
good vid btw. keep it up. 😎
DetectingTheRockies Utah OT also could be an antenna mount. It allows you to adjust the angle of an antenna. Have a metal version on my small boat.
DetectingTheRockies Utah. could be off of a motorbike the ww2 bikes had seats that look like bicycles but larger.
Bike seat clamp like this goo.gl/images/vDuzBc
Your camera zooms in with such clear and perfect detail of the items! Very nice! Thanks!
It's not a 'woman's wig' - it's a TUMBLEWEAVE!

Hi Mike that part with groves could be of a push bike seat to hold the seat in place, hope this helps, regards kiwi Pip.
looks like part of a bicycle saddle clamp. used to attach the saddle to the saddle pin. Groetjes !
The tin with the symbol embossed on it looks like crossed keys to me. Not sure what it would symbolize, but I believe you can see the teeth of the key opposite the circular ends. Probably a trademark of some sort.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching.
Top vid 🌲
Thanks Dick and your two swingers!
Love watching what you guys find. I live in the us but would love to explore wwll sites. Been to Germany a few times in the military but never had enough time to explore.. love the videos
Great video.

bunker or a foxhole?
great video thanks
What an amazing video please keep them coming,thank you..
Neat button find!
Great posting
Great Video

object at 4.38 is part of a bicycle seat clamp, great videos really enjoyable
If my missus appeared wearing that style of knickers i would roll over and go to sleep
4:40 looks like a bicycle seat clamp ratchet
that one object you ask for help with I think it was the first one had an adjustment screw on it and it was used for holding the position of an instrument or object
keep it up mate nice finds, some times even if you find a used toothbrush from the WW2, its worth the excitement :)

so cool good find
Looks like part of a bicycle seatclamp. :)
I have just clicked the like button and also subscribed nice video enjoyed watching it
Thanks! :)
i knew it dutch!
he's goin to all the dogging spots lol 😂
the piece of metal with grooves is from an old bicycle seat attachments. ,would be nice if you found entire bicycle. good luck on your adventure.
Just subscribed. Cool finds. Nice to meet you and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Denise! Merry Christmas!
besides bicycle seat holding, i've seen radio antennas with a wing nut adjuster like that also.
at 4:40 that is a piece to a old bike seat.
Could also be part of an old motorcycle head light (BMWs had something similar all they way to the 90's, some Urals still do). Used to lock in the head light adjustment.

Do you auction pristine items that you find? Or keep them? Do you need permits to explore the sites you metal detect?
The first two pieces of history he found (the wig and the underwear) was easy to picture how they ended up there. I'm still trying to get that picture out of my head. :-)
Seriously, Berlin is littered with scrap. When I was 8 years old the playground in my neighborhood got an overhaul. I made friends with one of the workers and he gave me all the rusty metal things.
That metal clip looks like the web harness that carried infantryman' ammo, canteen, etc. Looks like the piece where it splits between shoulder blades.
That piece is part of a bracket for an exterior rear view mirror. Used to hold it at desired angle. Still used on many military vehicles to this day. Likely knocked off by a tree branch.
Damn i was hoping you were gonna put the underwear on your head aswell lol. The 17th century button was an awesome surprise.
Hello Iron Mike. I subscribed to your channel. Safe travels to you and your son.
Love your videos. Cheers.
Appreciated! Thanks Wookie :)
Iron Mike Metaldetecting You're most welcome sir! Greetings from the Oregon coast. Do you explore the Seelow Heights area much?
The wig would make an excellent nest for some enterprising critter.
The metal part you found is a half of a clamp as used to mount a bicycle seat.
the piece you found at 4:05 looks to be shrapnel, but specifically part of an upper or lower a arm or something a ball joint would have hooked up to.
Awesome.
Beauty!
4:06 that is an angel adjuster for a bicycle seat
hahaha sounds like one of my trips, found a pair of knickers covered in dried up...errrr number 2...and then found bear paw prints and a tshirt that was ripped. Kinda assumed someone was mauled but didn't find anything else after that.
Should put this place on Travel Advisor!
LOL
Fantastic video,I liked and subbed.
Great vid bro
That thing with half round edge, hole and slots you found in Berlin forest, came from bicycle seat..🤣🤣🤣
The rippled part you found is a locking mechanism, like on a walmart bike seat, there’s usually another side that meshes with the teeth of the other, so you can loosen a screw rotate whatever the thing is, tighten the screw, and the thing won’t rotate anymore.
Nice button!
Thankyou! Keep it up. More 17th. century buttons to be found.
I would really love to find more. Now that I recognize them. Thanks for your view Gerald!
should be 4 of those grooved plates on bicycle seat clamp bolt
Good Work
the item found four and a half mins into video is half a bracket for a bicycle saddle, the grooves around the hole are for a grooved locking washer, this gives better grip and prevents the seat from rotating.
that piece you weren't sure about looks like the heel from the interior of a boot
great finds! subbed.
Nice flak gun shell that's a bicycle seat clamp
lol I was just about to say that button at 10:25 looks Napoleonic
4:20 it's a connection disk for a seat, go out in you garage and you will find it on your bicycle. (Maybe this one is from a motorcycle.)
Great vídeo, like from Brazil Bro
Thanks Gilson!

that weird thing you found with line patterns is one half of a antenna lock
Its half of a bike seat, angle adjustment clamp.Bike r motorcycle, either or.
They are also used on other machines, anything that needs a change of angle. Good eye ;)
Im sure but that specifically looks like a seat clamp. The unit itself.
it's a weed grinder
@4:20 that resembles a star washer used for a semi adjustable mechanical connection such as the seat to the seat post of a bicycle or some other hardware configuration of a military type that might be pivoted to a different angle from time to time but remain fixed most of the time.
