    Nice finds Dan :-)
    As for the Ammo you found its ".30 Carbine" (7.62×33mm)
    used in US "M1 Carbine".
    Cheers

    Yes, The smokeless powder would have been used for the artillery. In this case I would think it was artillery that was towed by jeep into the area, it gave them greater mobility in the initial pushes of the European advances. Great find. Here in Germany I am looking for the camp the Americans set up prior to taking over the town I live in, They stayed over night in a couple fields about 3 kilometres away from the town. No one has detected there before. I just need to wait until the crops are cut. Another great video!

  • @CplSkiUSMC
    @CplSkiUSMC 9 років тому +2

    Hey Dan, I can definitively answer the question of the bullet. It is a US M1 .30 caliber carbine round, commonly used by US airborne troops. The smokeless powder would seem to be gunpowder, but loose gunpowder on the battlefield is relatively uncommon. The only thing I could think of would be heavy artillery powder bags. Cool stuff.

    Woohoo! I'm so glad to see you're doing these videos again, I stopped watching your videos when you went away from just showing what you found and doing cooking and walking up mountains lol. But I loved your older videos when I first found your channel. Those were great when you were just walking around woods and fields videoing your finds. I hope you do more like this, much like your early videos :) good work!

    The little coffee ration comes from the mid-wAr type K-ration. They had small accsesory packs and that was one thing in them was coffee. As to the "button" it's a "collar" disk. That would be on the collar of a US uniform. To the bullet. That goes to the M1 carbine. US cal. 30 M1 Carbine.

    hey Dan greetings from America the "pocket watch" you found was most likely the timing mechanism from an anti-aircraft round I've seen several of them in their intact condition and inside the fuse is a mechanism that looks very similar to a pocket watch but I can tell from how round and the thick it is that it is most likely the time fuse from an anti-aircraft round probably it was ejected after the round exploded. Keep up the good work.

    That U.S. button you dug up is a great find! Those kind of buttons would go on one side of the soldiers collar and have another on the other side to represent infantry, for example our another status.

  • @Steelgreyeyes
    @Steelgreyeyes 9 років тому

    @16:51 your button is a .30 Cal Carbine round for the M1 Carbine. These where commonly carried by the Airborne troops! The button you found just prior is an enlisted man's "collar brass". It would be worn on the left side of the collar, with the pin designating his branch of service within the Army on the right side. Nice finds! That Berlin mint 1 Franc is rather rare as well.

    Welcome to the ALONE survival show on Vancouver Island with all that rain!!!! Reminds me of my Oregon and Washington rain forest "drizzle!" When you have real rains, then you have the Pacific Pineapple Express hurricane storms that tear down 100 foot old growth pine trees, and throw everything riot. Maybe with all that rain, you need to change the metal detector for a truffle pig or dog, and start going mushroom hunting!
    Very much enjoying your bink, boink, beeeeeepppppp treasure hunting. Grew up with metal detector and 1850s-1930s frontier forts, lumber and fishing camp ruins. So much to find.
    Keep up the beeeeeepppppp-ing!

You are looking at your "dad" with your magnifing lens, .. versus me and my standing tall and large Sergeant Major! Get some Welsh or Scots blood in you (maybe some Scotch too). Get back to work and find all those artifacts !!!! And Bob's your aunt! You are starting to act like a French man ! Hehehe.

    .30 M1 carbine cartridge, complete.. May I also mention that the most dodgy part of a broken open cartridge is the primer in the base of the cartridge case. The type in the .303 British military cartridge has almost the energy of a .22 short. Heat the case and it will blow out with surprising force ( and make your ears ring) BANG!

    17:01 is an M-1 Carbine round. Cooks, Officers, para-troopers and such. A special duty weapon. The regular troops were issued an M-1 Garand which was chambered in 30.06. The 30 M1 Carbine had roughly the same ballistics as a .38spl pistol round. But was a lighter and handier rifle than the Garand.

  • @leburnham5864
    @leburnham5864 9 років тому +1

    The item at 6:32 looks a lot like a hoof tool for a horse or mule. The Axis forces used a lot of mules & horses in WW1 & 2, along with the Allies. Of course it could have belonged to a farmer too.

  • @gregkerr725
    @gregkerr725 9 років тому

    The smokeless powder tags are probably from the bags of powder they stuffed in the cannon breech behind the explosive head. 105mm howitzers usually used an integral shell and explosive head as a one piece unit, but the larger 155mm or greater guns like 8 inch used separate weighed powder bags plus the explosive shell. They might use one bag for short range and two or maybe even three bags for long range shots. So likely there was either an artillery battery working out of that field or a storage area or depot for artillery shells and powder.

    • @johny9516
      @johny9516 8 років тому

      105's also use powder bags.

    The U.S. Button is usually found up on the collar of the uniform, It might be off of a IKE jacket or a Class A uniform... Plus the Item's you found a 6:10 might be part of a cleaning kit for an M1 Garand.

    My first thoughts were how many of those items belonged to wounded, dying or dead soldiers. I don't know where in Normandy you are but my father landed at Utah beach. At least it was the safer beach to land on if you want to call it that. He made it home without to much damage. Thanks for the video.

    The 1951 20 franc coin wouldve been the equivalent of about five or six old pence, because the Franc was devalued in 1949 to a rate approximating 980 francs to the pound. Its value continued to fall...and in 1960 the currency was really dramatically devalued.

  • @leburnham5864

    The US button is a lapel button. It should have had a straight pin out the back for a clip to hold it on the collar.
    They were brass. I have the one that was my fathers from WW2. The rain reminds me of here- in the winter (Washington State, USA, not to be confused with the State of Confusion (Washington DC, on the East Coast).

    @fdmackey3666 9 років тому

    I think that in the first four minutes or so of the video you were working in a field expedient/hurried field artillery position. I base that on the tags you found referring to the weight of powder (charges). Could have been a large caliber, 155mm or higher, emplacement. Just a guess....I'm thinking powder bags that came in wooden crates. If I am correct there could have been anywhere from two guns to an entire battery that paused there to lob a few rounds inland. Again, just a guess.

    smokeless powder for your front loader(black powder) gun/shotgun/rifle post 1870s-1900s
    ps it smokes very badly compared to shellshot/brigant but compared to loose black powder it is better but the shot is lightly softer so a modicum of chalk powder among the shot(black powder) might do the same da#m thing!

    .30 cal. carbine cartridge. The smokeless powder tags were American as well. The U.S. Were the only English speaking nation to call it that.
