Imagine having one of those grenades cooking off and you becoming the last casualty in the battle of the bulge 75 years latter. Yikes! Stay safe and great vid!
To be fair as much as that would be horrible to him and his family, but at least you'll be a part of history in a good way not a horrible way so be forever remembered..
I was wondering if they would make the video about when they dug up that Chevy Jeep with the headlights still on. I left my hat in it when I planted it there and I want my hat back before they sell it on Ebay..
Same actually my great grandfather's name was James w coutts he was a paratrooper and a 1st star general and brought up the idea to general Eisenhower that paratroopers should be used in the invasion of Normandy. Look it up I'm not lying I swear
@@colinsoreal I Thank him for serving was he a plane jumper?? I seen a movie called overlord and the plane scene was pretty scary. I feel bad for everyone that had to fight in that war
I can almost imagine men running through the hills, as bullets fly all around, many falling in what may become their final resting place. I want to see Europe one day, and see a WW2 battle site and pay my respects to those who have their lives for our freedom.
Grant i recommend you to go to Krakow in Poland to see Auschwitz and birkenau. There is also a few museums, like Oskar schindlers is a good one. There you will see old wepons, clothings, letters and a lot of more from the WWII. Really cool and interesting, but gives you chills at the same time. 😊
It won't be their final resting place, as after the battle usually medics or soldiers, under a truce, will take the dead soldiers back for a proper burial.
Both my Great Uncles were in WW2. One was in the 2nd Armored Division and fought his way through the Ardennes to help break the German lines. My other Great Uncle was a part of an Engineer squad trying to build a pontoon bridge over a flooded river but unfortunately due to the strong current his boat capsized and he drowned. I wish I could have met them both and talk about the war but I am extremely thankful for their service!
My Father was 17 when he joined the U. S. Army. He joined mounted Calvary until selected by Gen. MacArthur to form the 75 th Infantry Recon Division. He earned 2 Purple Hearts.He is the only non Belgian to be awarded a medal by the King of Belgium. He served 32 yrs. It is eery to see the ground he may of walked on. To think by looking at the trees many of them weren't there. My Dad died 11/10/2017 at 92.The soldiers left many things.
wow,my grandfather was a WW2 vet and he passed in November of 1997,kinda weird how its exactly 20 years apart,luckily he didint have to fight in D day but he was almost stationed there.
My old neighbor Virgil Johnson fought in the Bulge & he told me & said it was a real bad meat grinder ! He used a 30mm water cooled machine gun he told me although you would think it would have froze up in the intense cold of that battle but that's what he told me ! He showed me a German pistol & a rifle that he managed to bring back from the war & showed me a few other items but had a small documentary book that was done by Readers Digest that I don't remember when it was made printed but it showed him & the men he fought with in black & white pictures taken at the time & showed Virgil fixing hot food for his men so they could eat to keep their strength & body heat up to keep fighting ! I had the book about 2 weeks then returned it to him after reading it & looking at all the pictures ! He was a nice guy & me & my brother would go over & drink beer with him & his wife just about 5 years ago in his pole shed he had set up as a shop with a juke box for music a old fridge set up with a 16 gallon keg of beer with a tapper handle on the door & a old restaurant table booth set up to sit in & drink beer & talk . His wife passed a few years back of dimentia & he managed to live about 3 years after I had found out & it was a great honor to meet him & be friends with him knowing all the things he went through in that battle of the war ! I seen that part of the movie showing the men in the chow line & I wonder if that could have been Virgil seeing that at the end so if you know anything on that clip of movie of there were any names mentioned let me know please as if it was him I wouldn't be able to tell being I remember him as he was just before he died & can't really remember what he looked like as a young man during that time from the pictures in that book he showed me ! God bless all of the vets who fought & paid the ultimate sacrifice !
My uncle Ray Davis caught all 3 wars, WW2, Korean War and 2x Vietnam, WW2 he was 1st in 2-508th PIR 82d, Sicily and Salerno, for DDay went to the 101st, then Holland, the bulge and Rhineland. Retired SGM, he inspired me to join the Army, went to his retirement ceremony, look that uniform blinded ya, the fruit salad and girl bait on those Class A s and those jump boots a high gloss. He was very quiet, always smiled, did anything for anyone. Very humble person.
My Uncle was there at St. Vith in the 84th Division. He earned the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. You guys do a great job of bringing these soldier's stories to life.
I believe that the narrator of this channel knows more about WW2 relics than any other I've heard on these WW2 dig channels, my hat's off to you, you clearly know your stuff.
My Grandfather was a Marine. He served during WWII and Korea. Thank You for finding all that you have and for taking care with any ordinance you've found as well. Less for someone to get hurt by. It gives me memories of my Grandfather, he passed in 1995. I watch every video y'all put up. 👍👍
Nice! I’ve been hoping to find a video metal detecting on the Battle of the Bulge/the Ardennes. My dad was one of the few survivors of that battle, and he rarely talked about WW2. **One exception that he did tell his sisters: he was in a foxhole with his best friend, under heavy fire, when he urgently felt he had to get out of the foxhole, which didn’t make sense-but right after he rolled out, he turned and saw his best friend blown up.
Interesting. My family member was in that battle when it kicked off. He was separated from his unit for seven days until his capture. He wrote his memoirs describing where he ditched his equipment before being taken as POW. I'm sure his belongings are still there. I need to get over there some day.
That's an interesting story! Hope your family member made it out okay while being a POW. Feel free to contact me, very interesting story from your side too!
I mean if the pin is still in it its safe. Depending of the grenade it takes 10+ pounds of force to actually pull it when new, with it being 70+ its probably a lot harder to pull. There is stories of men hanging their gear by accident by the pin of a grenade and have left it that way for 20+!minutes without anything happening.
My grandfather fought there,so I find this very educational,I've always wanted to go there to learn more of the history,seeing you guys dig this stuff makes you think of what they went through
Any arms or explosives must be reported/turned in if found in Europe. Even though the weapons won't work and some are in rough shape it still needs to be given to authorities to assess them. the grenades I'm sure are probably safetly detonated as I don't know many people who would Try take the explosives out one of those old grenades just to make a souvenir
love your videos, so respectful to the brave people that fought in the war on all sides, there are no winners in war only destruction and misery, sorry if too deep, i metal detect and post videos of training camps in England and always think of the people sent over to fight in WW2, such brave men and woman, Hope there will never be WW3
My maternal uncle Max was an 19 year old serving under Patton...He was wounded by shrapnel from the German 88's that were pounding away at the Allies who were surrounded by the Nazis at Bastogne...A very nice man who lived to his 90's...RIP uncle Max ✝️🙏🌹...🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Dream team of metal detectors not seen iron mike for a long time always excellent finds history waiting to be found everywhere greetings from steve in England to you all and all who watch
Good video. Back in 2013 finally went to see were my one grandma is originally from in Italy a small farming area in between Naples and Rome Italy, right in the middle of southern and central Italy. Which some WW2, and even WW1 battles has taken place there. In fact the Germans took over my grandma's farm house then some time later the American's took it back over. The house is actually still there with the barn and rebuilt many times. A older family member still owns it and its been honored that I got to go inside of it, and brings me back at memories of her telling me about her farmhouse that her and her brothers and sisters grew up in. Back then there was only 2 or 3 farms on that small mountain top. Now it is just a regular sub division full of houses. And a family member of mine told me every 2 or 3 years someone in that area finds some WW1 and WW2 stuff. Then do watch the Discovery and National Geographic a lot and some of these shows, show that they are still finding things like arrow and spear heads since the Roman and Spartan times.
What's amazing is, there are other people who do this same thing, in the same area. And everyone is still finding stuff all these years...... We will never really know how large of a War it really was
instead of serving coffees and burning gasoline doing circles around town, near every single person in every industrial society was producing immense quantities of STUFF. or fighting. Even in my lifetime, when I was a kid surplus mosin nagant rifles cost pennies. $50, $70. Treated like scrap to get rid of, there were so many. and that's in the United States.
The XP Deus, what a brilliant detector. Excellent videos. I’d love to bring my Deus over and join you. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.
Great stuff - keep up the good work. Wonderful to see tangible links with history coming to the surface. Thank you. Incidentally BAR stands for Browning Automatic Rifle not "Assault" rifle.
Great stuff as always. Thanks for taking us along. Always a pleasure to watch Have a splendid new year Here’s to some spectacular finds in 2020 🍻 cheers 🍻
Great video guys, love your channel , im a detectorist from belgium myself and i regularly go to those areas 2 , and i also always fill up my holes after digging its a must to keep these beautiful resting places intact and preserved 😎👍👍👌
I love the way you inform us with videos of the war with the object found to understand more of the use of the object ..great ! From italy gustav line ;)
Seeing those grenades reminded me that I saw a short film once shot at incredibly high speed of a hand grenade exploding! Just like a bar of chocolate it broke everywhere but along the deep grooves where it was intended to break, lol.
My great great uncle served in the battle that took place before the bulge. It was the battle for Hurtgen Forest. He and thousands of others were killed December 1, 1944 after a German counter attack that pushed allies back. He was a staff sergeant with the US Army 8th infantry 28th infantry regiment.
Any information on were I could find the video at the end were the soldiers getting food. I'm 100% sure it's my grandfather holding the plate looking into the camera. Would love to find more of the video. Thanks so much for listing him.
I'm impressed at how well you guys are able to identify the objects you find. Thanks for all your great detailed work. I thoroughly enjoy your video adventures. Danke!
great video and thanks for posting. When I was stationed in Germany I used to explore though the forset but never thought to the extennt of using a metal dector. I did go through some old bunkers.
I would suggest finding the Wiki articles regarding the WW2 battle, and there will be GPS coordinates. Install Google Earth, plug the GPS coordinates in, and gander away at the old battlefield, while increasing your geography knowledge

Not a looker, but I've never stumbled into a grenade, but I'm sure I'd get the same uneasy feeling that I get when i go under a leaner tree.

There's a RUclips channel here that the guy specializes in finding and exhuming remains of soldiers killed in battle. The Channel is: Crocodile Tear
Oh yea. I seen the that channel before.
Yes I have watched many of their videos. Its wonderful to see young Russian people involved in finding fallen solders and giving them a proper burial.

10:40 almost looks like the clearing in Band of Brothers when Hoobler shot that German on a horse and got his Luger.
And proceeded to shoot himself in the leg
HarveyWhalbanger YT stop not trying to cry :(
@@jr13227 ?

This is by far the best you tube channel ever !!! Keep it up my friend 👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks for the support!!
Fantastic channel. I like when you incorporate old footage . But aren't you nervous when you dig out live grenades?
My grandfather fought there would not talk about it. Thanks to all are service people.past and present
Great video, I love that you show video clips and pics of the items you find. I appreciate the time you took to make this.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks guys.... love watching your vids
These forests that you go metal detecting in look so beautiful! Are they mostly located in Germany or Eastern Europe?
Lee Bartlett why don’t you just answer his question instead of being a little smart arse?
I would suggest finding the Wiki articles regarding the WW2 battle, and there will be GPS coordinates. Install Google Earth, plug the GPS coordinates in, and gander away at the old battlefield, while increasing your geography knowledge
@@choosetolivefree Ok, thank you man!
F to pay respects 11:37
Digs up two hand grenades. Proceeds to dig with his head right next to them
ULT1M4T3G4M3R , I thought the exact same thing
They aren't any more likely to explode randomly than they have been for the last 70ish years, especially just laying on the ground.
Not Sure hey the pin was off one of them. His digging tool must have knocked it off!😄. Take cover!
@@rickster1957 well, maybe it is a little safer underground.
When digging up live hang grenades pulling the pin out will disable the grenade,everybody knows that.
Absolutely great video my friend! You did it again!
