The little coffee ration comes from the mid-wAr type K-ration. They had small accsesory packs and that was one thing in them was coffee. As to the "button" it's a "collar" disk. That would be on the collar of a US uniform. To the bullet. That goes to the M1 carbine. US cal. 30 M1 Carbine.
I love storms as well, everyone else I know hates them , great finds there especially the worm.
really enjoying these videos, keep digging
Nice finds Dan :-)
As for the Ammo you found its ".30 Carbine" (7.62×33mm)
used in US "M1 Carbine".
Cheers
Yeah it is the from the m1 Carbine
4:45 is a button from World war 1, Its from a french Uniform I don't know what that particular infantry was called like but its the same bomb that was on the "Adrian Helmet" :)
Hi Dan, Nice video, cool finds.... cheers, g;)
I have found some us buttons but none like that and I live in us
Oh wow, nice US collar insignia Dan! Congrats! I found my first one of those here in the states last spring and I was stoked. More special where you found yours though! Mine was WW1.
And I love storms too. They made me want to sleep for days and dream about piles of gold coins. LOL
looks like a 30.caliber bullet for the m1 carbine maybe?
I too believe that's what it is.
+dacasey24 Ya I think so too
me too
Definitely from the m1 carbine
Woohoo! I'm so glad to see you're doing these videos again, I stopped watching your videos when you went away from just showing what you found and doing cooking and walking up mountains lol. But I loved your older videos when I first found your channel. Those were great when you were just walking around woods and fields videoing your finds. I hope you do more like this, much like your early videos :) good work!
Yes, The smokeless powder would have been used for the artillery. In this case I would think it was artillery that was towed by jeep into the area, it gave them greater mobility in the initial pushes of the European advances. Great find. Here in Germany I am looking for the camp the Americans set up prior to taking over the town I live in, They stayed over night in a couple fields about 3 kilometres away from the town. No one has detected there before. I just need to wait until the crops are cut. Another great video!
hey Dan greetings from America the "pocket watch" you found was most likely the timing mechanism from an anti-aircraft round I've seen several of them in their intact condition and inside the fuse is a mechanism that looks very similar to a pocket watch but I can tell from how round and the thick it is that it is most likely the time fuse from an anti-aircraft round probably it was ejected after the round exploded. Keep up the good work.
Awsome vid dan! By the way your us button is actually a lapel badge commonly worn by officers that's why matt said they normaly have stews on the bottom, keep up the good work!
The two plates wit "SMOKELES POWDER", an American term for Cordite was used in firearms and artillery.
The item at 6:32 looks a lot like a hoof tool for a horse or mule. The Axis forces used a lot of mules & horses in WW1 & 2, along with the Allies. Of course it could have belonged to a farmer too.
You should call them "button balls" - sometimes they might have coins in them!
***** dan just have to say love your videos and when you find gold it will be an amazing video
Awesome on the U.S. Button/pin! That a .30 Cal round for a M1 Carbine.
I sure does look like a 30 M1 carbine round. See Wiki link below.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30_Carbine
BTW Dan Love your vids. That sure is a neat place to hunt for history. Hello from the USA.
Indeed it's a .30 Carbine round, I just handled some last week when I was shooting my M1 Carbine. You're right about it being a a cool place to dig for history! My dream would be to live where Dan does and do what he does! I'm a little obsessed with history, especially WWII military history lol.
That button was a british Grenadier button. I recognized the symbol on it.
yer a clumsy git matey .. LOL .. nice finds .. Ged
1:50, is a cross pein hammer, very popular among blacksmiths.
Hey Dan, I can definitively answer the question of the bullet. It is a US M1 .30 caliber carbine round, commonly used by US airborne troops. The smokeless powder would seem to be gunpowder, but loose gunpowder on the battlefield is relatively uncommon. The only thing I could think of would be heavy artillery powder bags. Cool stuff.
17:01 is an M-1 Carbine round. Cooks, Officers, para-troopers and such. A special duty weapon. The regular troops were issued an M-1 Garand which was chambered in 30.06. The 30 M1 Carbine had roughly the same ballistics as a .38spl pistol round. But was a lighter and handier rifle than the Garand.
It is absolutely a .30 carbine round
Dan that plate you found twice,the first at 2.31 / 2.53 , thats from a american wooden ammo/grenade box,you found a half 1 , its normaly twice the size ,i found a few in Hurtgenwald,,mainly on where the canons stood..
Thanks Dan,very enjoyable video,that U.S. button is great ! , i know the feeling because i found 1 to in a forrest near Aachen,mine had the back bit intact,yes i know the wow feeling on that one :-)
Cheese and ham sandwich, sounds communist
Nice one Dan😃
By the way that is a U.S. Army WW2 Collar badge we find them at our Army camp sites here in OZ
As the yanks were here training in jungle warfare before going to New Guinea 1942-43.
Happy Hunting

smokeless powder for your front loader(black powder) gun/shotgun/rifle post 1870s-1900s
ps it smokes very badly compared to shellshot/brigant but compared to loose black powder it is better but the shot is lightly softer so a modicum of chalk powder among the shot(black powder) might do the same da#m thing!
16:54 30 caliber M1 carbine round. Normally carried by officers and paratroopers. Sometimes the head stamp will say carbine. This is the carbine not the garand.
It's my 13 birthday in a few days. Can you do a shout out for me.
skydoescavemanfilms its my birthday soon so
can you not?
wow! a bell brass cast coin in that condition! great find dan!(1790-1796) giveme-giveme-giveme-lol!!!
that ''tool'' is for cleaning out the horses ears when its infected common thing in the late 1700s - early 1800s during battle damage if your horse would get shot (and it wasn't deadly)his ears would suffer damage and a earshot horse with an abbcess would go in circles unlles you would clean the stuff out using a knife to cut and a scraper to scrape and alcohol after (micro biology was known at this time this is the scraper you've found
Bullet does not look like a .44 cant see a rim on it. My guess is .30 carbine (m1 carbine possibly) Cool find either way Dan.
33c here now... in the old house i live in it's way warmer! :(
enjoyed the video! thanks for keeping my mind off of the heat :)
Dan C-27J Spartan cargo carrier, Italian made ordered by the US Air Force since 2007, they were going straight to moth balls because they said they have no use for them. The price tag for 21 of them was $567 Million USD. Waste of tax payer money.
Ah, yes, a summer rain. We just had a doozy of a storm in Los Angeles of all places, and in July! I had to drag my camera out and shoot some footage. It's up on my channel if you want to see a real rarity.
@16:51 your button is a .30 Cal Carbine round for the M1 Carbine. These where commonly carried by the Airborne troops! The button you found just prior is an enlisted man's "collar brass". It would be worn on the left side of the collar, with the pin designating his branch of service within the Army on the right side. Nice finds! That Berlin mint 1 Franc is rather rare as well.
The 1951 20 franc coin wouldve been the equivalent of about five or six old pence, because the Franc was devalued in 1949 to a rate approximating 980 francs to the pound. Its value continued to fall...and in 1960 the currency was really dramatically devalued.
At 03:09 on the buckle I can read "PT SEMINAIRE" which means "minor seminary" : it's a belt buckle from a nineteenth century catholic school uniform. Great find.
Another one here a little bit different : picclick.fr/boucle-de-ceinturon-petit-seminaire-La-Chapelle-st-282275100221.html
M1 bolet. don't tach ok
I bet France feels just like home for you with all that rain.. :)
Great video!
***** At least you don't live in Oklahoma, if you ever decide to live in Oklahoma, MOVE ONTO A HILL. Lest you drown in the flood rains we've been getting the last couple of months.
Great videos Dan, thanks for always sharing. What's your best find whilst in Normandy? Also do you have a web blog or website I can visit and follow you on? I don't do Facebook and twitter goes to fast for me, but You Tube is good except I have to wait a week before finding out what great relics you've been finding. Cheers :)
The US button is a lapel button. It should have had a straight pin out the back for a clip to hold it on the collar.
They were brass. I have the one that was my fathers from WW2. The rain reminds me of here- in the winter (Washington State, USA, not to be confused with the State of Confusion (Washington DC, on the East Coast).
I think that in the first four minutes or so of the video you were working in a field expedient/hurried field artillery position. I base that on the tags you found referring to the weight of powder (charges). Could have been a large caliber, 155mm or higher, emplacement. Just a guess....I'm thinking powder bags that came in wooden crates. If I am correct there could have been anywhere from two guns to an entire battery that paused there to lob a few rounds inland. Again, just a guess.
The U.S. Button is usually found up on the collar of the uniform, It might be off of a IKE jacket or a Class A uniform... Plus the Item's you found a 6:10 might be part of a cleaning kit for an M1 Garand.
.30 M1 carbine cartridge, complete.. May I also mention that the most dodgy part of a broken open cartridge is the primer in the base of the cartridge case. The type in the .303 British military cartridge has almost the energy of a .22 short. Heat the case and it will blow out with surprising force ( and make your ears ring) BANG!
I always giggle when folks from the UK or Ireland talk about how blazing hot it is. 24C is perfect weather. keep up the good work deep digger dan.
Thanks for the video, will you be detecting the hedgerows too? Seems like a lot of battles went through that part of France.
If 20 degrees is considered quite warm or hot then never come to Australia in the summer
50centgotshot9times Although watching the video til the end when the storm hit and I can tell you we get almost the exact same weather. It's super hot then a mighty storm comes and it's amazingly powerful and cool to see such a weather change.
50centgotshot9times It was 94 degrees F here in the Midwest USA. That is hot. 34.44 degrees C.
It gets to 40 where I used to live
50centgotshot9times aye apparently 50 cent got shot 9 times
Mohamed Elmasri apparently aye
👍🏼 what a sweet patch you guys have found.. Get in!
.30 cal. carbine cartridge. The smokeless powder tags were American as well. The U.S. Were the only English speaking nation to call it that.
Always enjoy watching your videos Dan. Keep up doin what you do and have fun with it....
The french button at 4:45 is ordinance or artillery...the US Army ordnance corps wears one of similar design.
The US lapel pin is worn by all Army soldiers on their dress uniforms.
The button at 4.45 is a British Army Grenadier Guards button. Check out their badge on google and you will see!
My first thoughts were how many of those items belonged to wounded, dying or dead soldiers. I don't know where in Normandy you are but my father landed at Utah beach. At least it was the safer beach to land on if you want to call it that. He made it home without to much damage. Thanks for the video.
Smokless powder accually replaced black powder at proppeling bullets in the late1800s
That U.S. button you dug up is a great find! Those kind of buttons would go on one side of the soldiers collar and have another on the other side to represent infantry, for example our another status.
his videos make me feel like I'm actually there it is so interesting what he finds. I'm sad to hear he stopped making more videos but I still am enjoying the videos.
***** I hear you say in your video's it's 20 degrees and very hot my question to you is what degrees are you referring to? The reason I ask is here in America we use Fahrenheit and most European countries use Celsius but either way you cut it 20 Degrees is not hot in either of those so I am interested.
Coiny thing you sure it does not say Navarone? Or could be an old American Quarter with State of Nevada?
And the pieces of the tool you found were a folding knife or what's left of it. Another amazing video Dan. Keep it up.
at 1:27 it looks like a Knights shield from a miniature model of a suit of armor. or a military medal?at 6:10 it's a leprechaun's putter and club case.
Airplane was a C-123 ... not a C-130. C-130 has 4 turboprop engines.
hey dan if it gets too hot maybe you could take your shirt off...leave the gloves on though...just kidding
4:26 : french army button for the infantery and some other group in french army. it's a grenade on this
5:30 : coin of the tribute of the french republic with "Marianne"
7:00 : french coin with national currency, gallic rooster and Marianne
15:00 Oh....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... fuck!!!
The button with the bomb is and ordnance bomb it is a button worn by us soldiers who were ordnance support worn on the collar directly across from the us button you found im currently in us army ordnance school now
The bullet you found is for the U.S. caliber 30 M1 Caebine
The storm should wash up some relics. US button or collar tab?
Even in another country you find better American things than I do!
Good variety video Dan, What were the giant "wasp nest" things in the trees behind your head at the 14:35 mark?
I think the "tool" you found is a straight razor. Great videos, keep it up!
Where do you display things after they have been cleaned and identified, Like the buckle at 3:18?
Dan I think the chain is an American I'd bracelet from ww2 my grandfathers has his last name on it
I think the coin will read Navarrone. As in the book The Guns of Navarrone.
Yup...undoubtedly an M1 Carbine shell...30cal
Bullet is a .30 Carbine for an M1 Carbine
at 4:00 the smokeless powder tags possibly were attached to containers of artillery propellant
The aircraft at 10.18 is a French Air Force C-160D Transall
You would think by this time,you'd figure out how to eliminate the wind noise.
Dan..that is a .30 cal M1 Carbine round.@17.25
The military plane (the one that flew over the field) was a C-130 military cargo plane. The attack version is the AC-130 which has many guns on it.
Spartin Gaming Thats not a C1-30.... A C1-30 have 4 propellers
Spartin Gaming Close, BP Productions is right, C-130 is a 4 engine transport used by the US military. What you're seeing there is a Transall C-160.
ok, need to read my military book again to learn more!
***** always making me laugh! 😂
the big flappy thing flies over my town quite a bit.
Great finds,Dan!! Love all your video's :)
Is that " military button " the the emblem of the grenadier guards?
Great video as allways, Dan! Keep it up :)
DDD,
I was wondering if I can acquire an American WW2 helmet from you? Of course I would pay for it plus shipping to the states. My grandfather served so my boys and I are getting in to WW2 relic searching videos. We watch you regularly. We will be making a trip overseas possibly next year to do a bit of searching. Thank you for your time. Michael
PHDFLOPPER GAMING 2 good luck! Where you heading?

AT 6 MINUTES, ITS A BROKEN FOLDING KNIFE..MISSING ITS BLADE.

Hey dan, I'm from Brazil. When will you begin to speak portuguese? I'm kidding of course. I love your videos. Good hunting.
***** What other language do you speak? :D
m1 carbine or m1a1 carbine I think the m1a1 is the paratrooper version
The bullet is for an M1 carbine,,,, 30 caliber.
U.S. M1 Carbine .30 caliber cartridge.
Dan the bullet is a 30 caliber carbine bullet
the bullet is a 9mm pistol or light submachinegun round
