Hospital would make sense for so many discarded uniform parts, it seems strange there's so much Kreigsmarine there though, are you near a port or some coastal artillery positions?
So awesome. I love digging through stuff like that. I really like those glass buttons. Those have to rare. Can’t wait for more. Enjoy your adventures!!
Nice finds. Can't wait to see the next one. Have to have WW2 in the title, almost All your other videos have that. You've been posting videos for five years now. Who would have thought it was that long. Back to your Deep Digger Dan days.
I read recently that fallschirmjager erkennungsmarke were usually blank except for their personal number...so if captured or killed, an enemy wouldnt know what unit they were from. That might explain the mostly blank dogtag....you did find alot of luftwaffe stuff in that pit. Also, sometimes , replacement troops didnt get their tag unit stamped. Im sure many paramilitary units like nskk drivers probably had limited stampings on their tags as well.
Awesome that you found your digging tool! I remember seeing the video when you lost it and thinking "dang man, gotta go back! Good tools are often hard to find".
This is a real Treasure trove of finds Mike.. Can you share - certainly this does NOT appear to be a garbage dump, so is it possible that retreating soldiers wanted to simply remove remenants of their bury their military service ??
Greetings from the U.S. Mike. I am sure you have been asked this before but I am curious if you have ever had the opportunity to research the history and/or fate of the soldiers you find dog tags for?
I have but German authorities don't hand out information due to very strict privacy laws. So much different than how things work in the US. Tried to report them in the past as well, but German authorities are not interested.
@17:31 you had that dogtag,It looks to be made of stainless steel.It might be a tag to mark a cabinet or box.The US occasionally uses dogtags to mark equipment and cabinets.
I would Absolutely love to come metal detecting like this. Especially searching for a World War II stuff. Very interesting content. You won a new subscriber.
Hey Mike? What are you guys doing with the complete finds of German Dogtags? In Germany we bring them to the Authorities, so they can check them and find family members. So they know where there grandfathers, Uncles etc. have lost there lives.
I know its an old video and not of help for this one but what if you tried heating up bent tags like that to slightly soften the metal so it can bend back with out snapping?
Brilliant as always Mike, do you think this pit was left overs from patients who never made it? Maybe the shiny dog tag was for a patient they couldn't identify so he was just given a record number. Just a thought. Thanks for a wonderful adventure.
Maybe those who didnt make it, or for what ever reason didn't need it anymore. There is more so maybe one day we'll be able to find out what exactly happened there. Thanks for watching!
It's my understanding that if they were killed the dog tag was snapped in half. Also, try heating with a torch next time you have to try and bend something without breaking it. It usually helps
Bro, so glad to have the Oooooooo back in my day! Another amazing video. With out a doubt you have the best detecting channel on RUclips. Hope you are well. Cant wait for the next one!
Looks like a lot of Navy stuff. Even the shoulder straps are probably Navy as they have the pointed end, where the Army stopped using that shape at the beginning of WWII and used rounded ends. Where you near the ocean?
Hey Mike, Man what should I say, that’s a hole, everybody of us is dreaming from…. That feeling to dig in sich big dump pits… Thanks for sharing and nice side commentary about the history of this place! Btw, the dog tag is a codified one from the Luftwaffe. Greetings AC
Hi AC! Thanks for dropping by! Well didn't expect to find this much to be honest. Just pure luck I guess. Especially the mixture of relics from different divisions is what made this pit special in my opinion. Luftwaffe, kriegsmarine, wehrmacht and coastal artillery. Did some metal detecting around the pit the day after.. some more oohhs in the next video as well. ;-) Btw, the shiny dogtag is probably from this unit: 51513: (8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 11.1.1944 Schlachterei-Kompanie 4. Fallschirmjager-Division, (23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 26.6.1944 Fallschirm-Schlachterei-Kompanie
Great finds. If that was actually the location of a field hospital, there is always the possibility of a pit with human body members in it from amputations.
Hi from Canada On that dog tag in the war those tags would get put on string past from command to command till they could be properly recorded the very first tag was a tag number for that striing of tags is what i believe the very shinny tag is that u found
Hi Craig, I think it was. Hence the false teeth, medical supplies packaging and uniform pieces. Could be a place of surrender but that wouldn't explain throwing away the false teeth. Even after surrender you need those right. ;)

those belongings are from german pow i think.In many cases all the signs and buttons where cut of just with a knife.good founds;is this in Belgium,france,germany ? greetingsfrom Belgium;
As a fellow Metal detector stationed in Germany how do you get around the strict laws Germany has? I’ve been hemmed up a few times over it and was about to stop for good but see your videos and wanna keep going. Any info would help so much, thanks.
Hey , glass button kriegsmarine were produced in Jablonec Nad Nisou (Czech Republic) . We found hundreds of them in the dump. I am sorry for my English , google translator :-) :-) . Greetings from the Czech Republic :-)
Hi, no worries, I can understand perfectly what you are saying. Interesting, didn't know they produced those buttons in the Czech Republic. Thanks for that!
Hey Mike, first of all great video again! Realy enjoy your video's. Just a tip you can try next time you find a peace of metal that is bend. Try using a heatgun to warm up the metal, it softens the metal and it reduces the chance of breaking it when you try to bend it back! Good luck with the next searches, can't wait to see where you end up next time!
Hi Niek, you are right to heat the metal first before bending. But these dogtags are not 100% metal. They are an alloy with some crappy form of Zinc. That zinc stuff doesnt do well in the ground for so long, it tends to corrode. So it will break even if you heat it up first. But thanks for your advice, I appreciate it!

Do you guys have an ultrasonic cleaner like jewelry shops use to clean delicate pieces. That would clean up those belt buckles.

Nothing more, nothing less :)
Its fake
Awesome adventure buddy! Too bad I missed out on this one. Catch you next time ;-) Cheers!
thanks for dropping by buddy! Hey, you can't have them all! And you have nothing to complain about! ;-)
Hi big fans..me follow you
Oooooooooh yehhhhh...great finds Mike
Can't wait for these, you guys have had the biggest finds out there! Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

Looks very very cool already! Im hyped for the video!

LOL because of Covid I had to wait a long time to get back there. Almost bought a new one. Glad I didnt because they are actually pretty expensive.
Great finds once again, amazing that those shoulder boards are still holding together after all those years underground.👍
This is a real Treasure trove of finds Mike.. Can you share - certainly this does NOT appear to be a garbage dump, so is it possible that retreating soldiers wanted to simply remove remenants of their bury their military service ??
Looking forward to this one big time. Watching this tonight while eating my dinner, love it! 💓😊👍

Was it a hospital site? So many different services in one spot, and none military dogtags

Great video!
Thanks!
Forgive my ignorance, but why are there so many naval insignia at that spot in the forest?
Hey Mike,
Man what should I say, that’s a hole, everybody of us is dreaming from….

...amacing finds! Greetings from Saxony. The music at the end is from The Da Vinci Code - Chevaliers De Sangreal (Piano Version) + Sheet Music
Cool finds mate...
thank you :)
Is there a database where you can fund out information about those dog tags?
Alweer een top video! Mijn complimenten 💪💯👊❤
Tx Mike! Goed te lezen dat je het leuk vond!
Schöes Video echt cool👍👍👍👍
thank you!
Tanta bella roba bravi !!!!!!😍
how come you never have the camera turned on when you find anything?
What a finds... im jeleous!
Don't be! If you detect yourself, just keep on going and one day you'll find something good too.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting im trying harder then the fire rate of a mg42
Mega cool! 😳🙂
thank you!
Mooi gedaan jongens mooi spul.
That was an epic hunt indeed. What super finds.
Yeah it was a super hunt. But we also did some metal detecting around the pit. So more footage coming soon ;)
Which country is this where you found it?
Great finds. If that was actually the location of a field hospital, there is always the possibility of a pit with human body members in it from amputations.
We didnt find any, and hope not to come across it..
Hi from Canada
On that dog tag in the war those tags would get put on string past from command to command till they could be properly recorded the very first tag was a tag number for that striing of tags is what i believe the very shinny tag is that u found
do you save what you find...i love watching you....my dad fought at the battle of the bulge...
Have you ever tried to find the family of the Dog Tag wearer since they were all individually numbered?
Greetings from COSTARICA 🇨🇷 Excellent work. congratulations.
thanks you dropping by all the way from Costa Rica! :)
Did you ever consider carrying a spray bottle of water to help clean items. Or a can of WD40 for cleaning. Just a thought!
Sei molto bravo e simpatico👏👏👏
Great video...
Greatings from Berlin
Thank you very much! danke fürs anschauen
Wow, amazing!!!🇺🇸
Dit lijkt me echt een geweldige hobby erg interessant!!
Bedankt voor het kijken Linda! Is inderdaad geweldig om te doen. :)
Awesome video. Thank you for Texas
nice Finds
thank you!
Bonjour les amis,de magnifiques trouvailles ,merci à vous 👍🍻🍻🇫🇷
Merci!
Hey do you think it might be a dump from a field medical triage site? That's why you are finding all the uniform pieces.
Hi Craig, I think it was. Hence the false teeth, medical supplies packaging and uniform pieces.
Could be a place of surrender but that wouldn't explain throwing away the false teeth. Even after surrender you need those right. ;)
And what you are doing with all that stuff now?
you are in Schleswig Holstein there are a lot of PW Camps.

As a fellow Metal detector stationed in Germany how do you get around the strict laws Germany has? I’ve been hemmed up a few times over it and was about to stop for good but see your videos and wanna keep going. Any info would help so much, thanks.
Laws regarding metal detecting are complex but it is legal in many areas.most important is that you have permission of the landowner.
