    I was a child in the early 1960's and I had a good guess about the "time capsule". Any child that brought a lunch to school had a thermos, or 2. Some of them had a large cup like this one, and those were used for things like soup. If the cup was smaller, often there was cold milk inside. I was sure of what it was when it was shaken. I knew that sound as sometimes someone would drop the thermos, and break the glass. It sounded exactly like that.

    You had the pros and cons of digging in that sandy soil. It helped preserve a lot of those artifacts that might have rusted away in other soils but the negative is that unless you have any kind of bracing materials it will make it difficult to dig out stuff that's buried deep like that stove. Can't wait for your next video and seeing more interesting finds uncovered.

    In 1892, Scottish scientist Sir James Dewar invented the vacuum flask. Through his work in cryogenics, he identified a need to keep a chemical placed in a flask at a stable temperature. To do this, Dewar placed a glass bottle in another larger glass bottle, and evacuated the air between the two bottle walls.

      I think that armed minefields are a rare sight these days in Europe,as most of them got disarmed right after the war. But theres always a chance that you might come across single mines that hadn't been disarmed. I'd worry more about explosives that didnt detonate,you know,hand grenades,HE shells and stuff.

    When you find something like the MP40, do you guys get to keep it or does it have to be turned in? And if it does get turned in, what happens with it? Here in America, most of them get destroyed because they're still automatic weapons.

    • @EightsofSpades
      @EightsofSpades 3 роки тому

      It really depends from what I know, but if the weapons receiver is deemed unusable ie too rusty, you need a curios and relics licence, but if it is in usable condition you need to have it converted like by removing the firing pin and welding it shut or welding the trigger linkage.
