Hi Mike Happy New year i'm from Strasbourg in France near Germany. In our woods forests hills or mountains there is a lot of stuff from WW2 but can be still dangerous because there are bombs or munition they haven't explosed. It's not allowed to make detection. In our Rivers, lakes or creeks are do many things but the same it's dangerous. Magnet Fishing is not allowed because of grenades and other things.....
Hi Mike I've been a subscriber from the start and really enjoy the trips you take us on . Thanks for all the trouble you go thru to present the videos, thanks again
Hi Rick! Thanks for your comment and your support from the start. If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't have continued making videos, so no trouble, my pleasure.
Wouw amazing these buttons!! I have never found one like these! Only a Canadese and a Belgium one are in my display cabinet, I hope I find one of these one day!
Just discovered your videos a little while ago, and man... it's great! As a huge history nerd living in the States I'd love to go out and metal detect for pieces of history, but most places here in the US that are historically significant are federally protected. Your videos definitely help filling that void
i know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Chase Leonardo Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Looks like you had a very good day out there but my question is what do you do with all the stuff that you’re fine like all those buttons to sell some of that stuff to help find out some more excursions and looking for more treasures
Love this channel. The 2 corrections are still great finds. Love those buttons especially the gilded ones very nice. Yes the ring is a woohoo. Following you on Instagram & Facebook. GL HH
Hello, Mike! Will you ever do some sort of fan meetup where you just Take your fans out and detect. And Then just go eat somewhere? That would be a very unique way of doing it.
Hi! Hmm never thought there would be an interest of dining with me. But who knows, maybe in the future somewhere. Check out the facebook or instagrampage to follow me around a bit. If I attend gatherings I'll post it there.
Some Nice gun parts u Guy's found love the Mg mechanism and those chemical atack suits Are items u dont see often Good luck with ure next hunt love ya videos

Iron Mike Metaldetecting it’s always awesome watching your videos because you really don’t know what your gonna come across and this finds are always awesome I wished I was able to go metal detecting for WW2 stuff I remember when I was younger me and my dad would go looking for arrowheads and we would also metal detecting for civil war stuff that was always a blast to do do but keep the videos coming it’s always great to see the new ones 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Chris! Thanks for your nice comment. Would love to go and search for Civil war relics one day. Why not go back and see if you can find more? New detectors are more accurate nowadays. I'll bet you'll find more at the exact same spot.
Hey mike just got back from my euro trip. I drove thru france saw a front line position near a river bank. Dug and found some ww2 ammo. Pretty happy. It was a rifle grenade round. Or otherwwise a blank. It was 10 inches in the grojnd. Not an SS badge but happy i found a war relic. I searched an old nazi airstrip near frankfurt but it was already dug up. Small holes littered the field
I loved watching your video 😃 Seeing some of the cooks items come out of the ground, the beer bottles, the various weapon pieces 👍 Are you still hunting that same area? If so, have you been able to find a more intact chemical suit? I'm glad your channel was in a shoutout because that's the only way I found it 👍 HH and stay well!
Hi Kaye! Glad you found the channel however! :) The best chemical suit was the one you saw in the video, ow and the one that was laying on top of the goggles. Took both, now I just need the time to clean them up.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Awesome!!! I love it here.... Except for the Hurricanes... That can be stressful to say the least... I appreciate you taking time to comment back!!! I won't bug you too much you have alot of subs... Many Scientists came here after the war.... To Nasa and such back in the day.... One of my neighbors survived WW2 as a kid or young teen and about starved after, riding her bike miles on dirt roads to go work on a farm.... She married and came to the states here..She met Werner VonBron here... She has told me some interesting stuff.... I would like to get her story one day while she is atill around.... 2 years ago she would about out work me.. But she isn't getting any younger... Thanks and take care!!! Much love and You have an awesome channel!!!!!👍🇺🇸✌
I happened to be working on genealogy while watching. My first thought when you showed the name engraved on the ring was that it was the first initial & family name. E.g., August Apel, or something like that. I have run across the name "Apel" many times, and there was a family "Apel" in the Berlin area (Jerusalem) back then. Common first names for them were August, Alfred, Alex, & Adolph. I did a quick search for an "A. Apel" recorded to have died from 1940-45 but no luck.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting If you want, message me the place and battle time-frame and I'll do some searching in death records. I assumed it was Berlin since Google tagged this video with Berlin as the location but you hinted about being close to a boarder. I assumed it might have been France/Belgium border.
I really like your videos and the things you do. Just wondering what you do with the things you find and do you have to give up the guns/parts you find to the authorities? thx!
Hi Andrew, yeah that was odd seeing that laying there. Almost every spot there was filled with a ton of (the same) items. Must have been a supply yard or something.
Hi Thomas, thanks for your comment. I have to disagree, civil war relics, ww2 practise grounds, former WW2 POW camps, coins, jewellery, there is lots to be found in the US.

Hi...I know some important places.. I suggest you to go along the border between Germany and Poland...Near Stettin, Frankfurt am Oder and Görlitz were fought furious battle between Wehrmacht and Red Army... You could find a lot of things
About the ring with name "Aapel". There was a Finnish SS-volunteer called Arvid Aapeli Kakkonen who went by nickname Abel (which might explain the missing letter "i" at the end). He was in SS Wiking, but returned to Finland in 1941 to fight in Continuation war and apparently survived the ordeal. No idea if dates would match the activies of you metal detecting place there... or why he would have dropped the ring there. www.sotapolku.fi/henkilot/kakkonen_arvi-aapeli---abel--_31.08.1921_anttola/
Be careful my father flipped what he thought was a plastic soap dish with his foot while fighting with the 84th infantry and it turn out to be a concussions grenadine as it fell down and blew up didn't injure him but had he just kick it as he was going to do well...

good units, u needpermison for walking on wood with metal detector?
Its actually forbidden in Germany.

Apel is a German name. One of them worked, for example, in v1 and v2 programs.
