This is the best channel of this type, that's why I keep coming back over and over. The condition of the artifacts that were found just amazing. As long as you keep making videos I'll be watching. Thank you preserving the things for future generations to see and learn from. Thank You for everything you do. Peace, Health and Happiness to you.
Can't believe the condition these items are in, thanks to your hard work getting these relics back in daylight 👏
Back home in Chattanooga, a farmer was digging holes for fence posts, hit a U.S.3inch Ordnance Rifle, the brass tube, some iron fittings, heavy chains, remains of bolts etc...were found. As a kid we played in the old confederate rifle pits on missionary ridge, found buttons, .58 caliber rounds, etc...
That is awesome, I have thought about looking around near the Yadkin River near where I live and seeing what can be found. I know there have been musket balls and other artifacts found near there.
@@martymcpeak4748 The things that can be found, spooky to think about some of em, when I was in high school we used to camp in the Chickamauga battlefield park, a buddy and I found 2 Graves under a thicket, notified the park rangers, THEYdidnt know about em. That evening fog was so scary too, Snodgrass Hill saw the worst of the fighting, a thick cold rolling low fog. Anyways I can talk forever, thank you for getting in touch, write again when you get time.
Yeah my friend has a civil war trench in his backyard. We found old food cans and combs along with knifes
@@greenhawk_1495 The Battle of Yellow Bayou took place not too far from here, one of the last engagements of the war, I was digging in the backyard, found some artifacts, a .44 revolver ball, a .54 caliber carbine round, some small buckles etc... The entire world is a battlefield, what remains underneath our feet, homes, stores, etc...
@@williamsoileau1802 Very cool
I appreciate the way you clean your artifacts, unlike some who rub and rub and sometimes destroy what they find. I looked up the fork, Rostfrei. Aug. Merten Ww., founded in 1910 in Grafrath, Germany
The good condition is from the heavy concentrations of tanic acid in the soil, this preserves ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Of course that is what is used to tan leather. No or little oxygen and a mostly organic soil base protected these items. Out of the ground these items will quickly deteriorate if not protected correctly. The white helmet would indicate that the soldiers were captured during the winter. The loose footwear would indicate that the soldiers were wearing felt boots and put their regular boots aside. Rifles were generally discarded but any machine guns would have been taken along. All this equipment is heavy and anything not valuable to the soldiers would be left behind. After digging up all this ordnance I thought that the comment "dangerous razor" was ironic.
Looks like you found the remains of a foxhole that came under heavy fire, causing the troops to retreat and leave the heavy boxes of ammo that would have slowed them down. Looks like the one helmet is painted white, for winter use. Good find!
I don't think the Germans made it out of that foxhole myself - either KIA or Captured
The German infantry wasn't as mechanized as it appeared, it used a lot of horses and soldiers marched to get from place to place. Looking at this collection, like all the others, there's a feeling that some German marched from the Fatherland to some God-forsaken swamp in the USSR just to die......for what?
I find these video fascinating. Partly for the history and partly for people who seem to be able to stand being up to their hips in mud and water to pull this stuff out of the ooze. Fascinating!
Big part of why they lost the war horrible supply lines even when they where winnning
To die for what? That truly is the question isn't it? As a combat veteran I can share my opinion on those just a little bit for what it's worth. Let me explain to you what they died for.... Not for politics, not for the love of country, not for anything Noble at all. Combat veterans, fight and die for each other. That's it it's that simple. They were sent there by their country, and probably very patriotic at the time and some even volunteered to go no doubt. But when you're there? And the bullets are flying around you? None of that stuff matters anymore. The only thing that matters to a true combat veteran, or should I say someone that is in combat and not yet a veteran. Is the person standing next to you. It truly is that simple. The whole goal of war for a combat soldier, is to get home, and for their friends to make it home.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Yeah well it's hard to bring a halftrack to a swamp
seemed like a good idea at the time
They would have been conscripted to fight so basically had no choice.
The Mauser rifle with the bolt and its mechanism still encased in the wood is pretty amazing after 80 years of being burried in the mud.
High concentration of tannin in the clay.
I wonder if it would still fire with a good clean
@@josephdawson5846 I am sure it would. Surviving to fire again may be an issue though.
@@josephdawson5846 ."
Amazing to watch, fantastic to see the respect and all done with great care.
Very cool. I'm shocked at how much is left from WW2 in Russia. ♥️
My word!.......that is a gold mine of finds. Not easy digging in that deep mud.
it just baffles me how much history is buried beneath our feet
If he dig deeper might find a full mongol.
All of our history
@@tanjifromtechsupport1839 i have found shards of roman vases and stairs in the woods
In heidelberg germany....
@@zinodavidoff5665 Rome went all over earope including Germany, and reached eastern Russia.
@@tanjifromtechsupport1839 uuhhmmm nop.
Not russia.
Maybe crimea, but it wasnt slavic or called krim.
It was scythian and afterwards greek than Roman.
I spent 9 months in Slovakia in the early 2000s and we once went to a flea market where there was a guy selling some amazing WW2 equipment including a very nice SS camo smock and several quite good quality helmets. .
Damn I'd love to get a ss smok
It’s crazy to see how well preserved all these things are
You are a hero to all of us kid adventurers that dream about the expeditions you do!!!! Stay well brother
Absolutely amazing finds. Keep them all. Hope you can do a video when it's all cleaned up and oiled, preserved
Great finds...well preserved in the clay. Sadly you didnt find the MG. Would like to see a restoration video of the 98k 😊
The preservation is amazing, and I hope you worked to preserve the wood and leather before they dried out !!
Amazing, what a collection of finds , from a lot of hard work digging , well done! Thanks for sharing your time 👍
The close-up pics towards the end we're great!🇺🇸
Very nice video - congratulations! I read that you can save the leather with oil. Put the bags in the oil after cleaning with water. Use coconut oil or safflower oil until the leather no longer absorbs the oil. All the best. backbreaking work.
Очень красивое видео - поздравляю! Я читал, что можно спасти кожу маслом. Поместите мешки в масло после очистки водой. Используйте кокосовое масло или сафлоровое масло, пока кожа не перестанет впитывать масло.
всего хорошего. непосильная работа
I can already imagine a couple german soldiers who were there just sitting and chatting and here 75-80 years later digging up their belongings and in great condition its amazing
The conditions are amazing. I live in Germany in the Eifel region, and when we were kids we dug out some WW2 remnants, like bullets. But they were all in very bad condition. Rusted all over.
Brother, I wish that you may get a metal detector someday. Great findings. I amazed at what good condition they are in. Good work!
The Rifle is in the same condition as the day it was buried a great find .
The boot in great condition truly awesome discoverys .
Amazing condition after so many years . Great video thanks 🤠👍
A very nice find. That will make a awesome collection. 👍👍👍
That rifle is very beautiful. Can you make it shootable again ? I have seen people who renovate these weaponesand sometimes they can shoot, most of the times not, but this rifle looks in very good shape.
It might be possible. The action certainly looks like it could be disassembled and cleaned up. The inside of the barrel is the question: while it may have been encased in mud when found, water came first, and it's pretty likely that it rusted up. If not, then you could have a functional rifle. There's certainly enough ammunition around - IF you can keep it according to local regulations.
@@crankyoldguy2 it’s Russia…anything goes…no such thing as DEA or ATF…breathing down their necks like over here…i’m jealous to say the least
@@crankyoldguy2 thank you
What do u do with the stuff u find ? Very interesting , thank you ! Greetings from Portsmouth England 🏴
I like that fork! I’d take it home and use it. Nice finds. I would enjoy doing this myself
Wieder ein tolles Video. Der Schlamm hat alles sehr gut konserviert. Viele Grüße aus Bayern. Marco
Ja wirklich guter ZUSTAND. UND DIE STEMPELUNG der Patronentasche. Kampmann Kaiserslautern da hat meine Mutter und ein Onkel gearbeitet die Fabrik hieß später RAKA.
Добрый день! У нас под Туапсе черноморское побережье кавказа. два немецких кладбеща , в горах , такая глухомань. Одно кладбище стоит где немцы держали свои позиции . там окопы пулемётные гнёзда , много было банок из под консерв. Второе кладбище в ущелье в лесу долеко. Но там почемуто немцы хоронили своих без ремней и были черепа рзбиты, житонов небыло. житоны мы нашли вообще в другом мести , куча была. А почему так было незнаю Загадка. Может немцы расстреляли своих кто отказывался воевать. НЕЗНАЮ. Бавария это красота и я горный человек.
Very nice early Kar98k… You can even see the stock cartouches!!!
Its a great Chanel, you r right, all those lost and hidden things after so many years, and find them, its amzing
That rifle looks like with a good clean and service that it could function again. Incredible
Unbelievable finds Great video and im always so blown away by your channel and how to find these amazing sites to dig
As usual another excellent video. The relics you recover are just fantastic. You keep making your videos I'll keep watching. Many thanks.
very great finds!! It's amazing how good things look after more than 80 years.
I love your voice I wouldn’t watch the channel without you narration I love to see the show but your voice makes it so much better
those boots are so good you could wear them
I am surprised there is no body found nearby (or it is too far away, ie. 5m next to digging place). Keep up good work! Please add more english subtitles :).
They definitely died in that hole. No one leaves behind their fork. 😆
Wow...very nice finds! 🧐👍
Quite a collection for a museum.
that Mauser rifle looks beautiful, what do you do with all the ammunition and rifles that you find? superb work!
Simply amazing the find’s
I love your videos. So interesting. What do you do with the artifacts you find?
Also thanks for the subtitles!
Chegando para prestigiar seu trabalho... Vídeo top demais... Achados incríveis... Tmj... Abração do AVENTUREIRO PAULEK!
the fork says "rust free". Didn't lie there, that thing looks pristine
What are the small Bakelite containers? Love you’re channel I have watched it for years and wish I was there!
I think he said they were bleach tablets..... But I keep thinking they're Pervitin (Methamphetamine tablets) whenever they find those bakelite containers.
Enjoyed the video some lovely finds
Absolutely fantastic
Can I come on one of these digs? Huge bucket list item! Lol
Excelente hallazgos en buena condición ok.
I'm really surprised the guy all that stuff belonged to ain't down there in that hole still with his stuff. He probably got blown 5 feet over to the left and is still laying there.
Awesome 👍
The 98k looks good..I've seen loads of Mosins pulled from the dirt, but not this carbine yet.
98k выглядит хорошо. Я видел множество мосинов, вытащенных из грязи, но еще не этот карабин.
Now, how do you get it out of the woods? Excellent video!
Yes, I don’t think he just leaves it there? Some items can fetch good money on historic collectors, not sure on the bullets though.
اشجار يتغذئ علئ بقاية حرب وعظام بشر شي محزن جدا تحياتي لك شكرا علئ كل شي
Looks like a mountain troops boot
13:38 i like how silver the mud is shining
😲😲😲😲😲😲 que impresionante hallazgo saludos desde chile🇨🇱
Exellent remnants of German remains, well preserved after all those 80 years
The finds are truly amazing!🇺🇸
Your videos never disappoint. Such amazing finds
He pulled everything but a tank and staff car outta that muddy pit...
this things see the sunlight after 80 years incredible !!!!!!!!!
👌
Gracias!!
Two weeks ago in my home town, workers were dredging and brought up a 250kg German unexploded ww2 bomb. Whilst the army we’re trying to make it safe it went off. Hell of an explosion. So what I’m trying to say is please be careful.
So many good finds and in such a good condition! Nice
A lot of hard work , that's mud for yer, but what great finds! ,congratulations.
Great video
its amazing to think of the person/persons that held or wore that gear
Has any ordinance you've discovered detonated (even bullets) during excavation?
Excelente videos, está Guerra? Toda para nada saludos desde México
really enjoyed video, thank u!🇺🇸
Have you ever restored any of the weapons to work in order again and number two how many soldiers have you been able to identify and give back to their families
Павел спасибо и Не пропадай.лучше редко но метко чем вообще не как.находки просто П.......ц огнище
Это мое старое видео, и канал не мой. Будьте внимательнее.
You have ma like😊
Nice vids. I love ww2!
Wow this is amazing i wish some day i could find stuf like that its super cool
I would love to do that digging and finding historical artifacts
what do you do with the objects found in the excavations? do you sell?
Amazing how you can find such awesome things somehow after being wet and buried in the ground now for 80+ years!?!? Really incredible to see the condition of the ammunition inside the aluminum boxes! It looks like if it were just cleaned off, it might actually still fire and cycle through a MG34/42??? SMFH! It's just mind blowing how some areas of the earth are either so neutrally balanced or there's a almost complete lacking of oxygen in order to prevent corrosion of even things like the steel of these rifes and other parts and pieces made out of aluminum and steel? But in other places it will appear that these things have been in the ground for 80+ years under harsh conditions and there's barely anything left to be recognizable by now as to what these things once were?! Then taking into consideration In Northern areas of Russia that the ground stays frozen most months of the year and things still can come out of these grounds in almost immaculate condition? One would think that the 80+ years of freezing temperatures and thawing that these items would be crushed and broken up by mother nature and the natural forces of expansion and contraction over these decades now? But amazingly enough these things, most of which are shallow enough In the ground still to be at the frost levels are somehow not just able to survive? But come out of their watery or dry graves in such great condition? IDK? But to me? This fact alone blows my mind that even such things like leather can somehow survive in the ground this long and somehow still be almost in usable condition? Locks and latches are still movable, hinges open and close....and then we see the most amazing of them all coming out like in this video! We can not only make out what color these things were painted? But can still make out the painted on lettering or decals on the helmet sides! This is just astounding to see how perfectly these items are preserved from time and the elements all the while being through a war and buried within such elements through and through, yet come out looking or appearing as it were the day it went into the earth??? 😉🥴🤯🤪🤷♂️ It's definitely amazing how mother nature can be the utmost destructive on one hand, yet absolutely the best thing for preservation on another!? Really something like this to me is so fascinating to see this all. Thanks to all you guys and girls over in Russia for doing such dirty work and bringing home these young men and women who were all part of such unbelievable times in our recent past. Knowing that these were people too, and probably never thought their bodies would be discovered let alone brought back home to their loved ones? It's a very rough job and journey for these people who are all working to make this possible and I salute you all for doing such great work.
The cleated boot might suggest there were mountain troops there (Gebirgsjäger) unless other units wore such footwear.
Amazing !
No way!! that rifle butt would have rotted away after 80 years in the mud .. these guys aren't fooling me one bit
Insane the mud preserved it
do you get to keep anything? or is it all turned over to the military/ bomb squad?
That boot was in better condition than mine 😬
Fantastic, bravo 👏
BRAVO ZULU 👏
Awesome finds!
