Nice finds Dan :-)
As for the Ammo you found its ".30 Carbine" (7.62×33mm)
used in US "M1 Carbine".
Cheers
Yeah it is the from the m1 Carbine
his videos make me feel like I'm actually there it is so interesting what he finds. I'm sad to hear he stopped making more videos but I still am enjoying the videos.
I always giggle when folks from the UK or Ireland talk about how blazing hot it is. 24C is perfect weather. keep up the good work deep digger dan.
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!
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.
Thanks again Dan. Love your finds!!!
The two plates wit "SMOKELES POWDER", an American term for Cordite was used in firearms and artillery.
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.
👍🏼 what a sweet patch you guys have found.. Get in!
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.
I think the "tool" you found is a straight razor. Great videos, keep it up!
@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.
really enjoying these videos, keep digging
Much enjoyed! Keep up the good work Dan.
Great finds,Dan!! Love all your video's :)
Always enjoy watching your videos Dan. Keep up doin what you do and have fun with it....
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!
***** 200 foot trees are weaker to blow downs, than tougher smaller 100 foot trees, so you have a "weenie" wind! 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.
get in Pfffft! LMAO! You are such a poosh. I commented about the weather, not the vid or the findings, and you took it all nasty. You are the one in France, not me.
Awesome video, Dan.
Keep up the great work...
.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!
Awsome vid dan! By the way your us button is actually a lapel badge commonly worn by officers that's why matt said they normaly have stews on the bottom, keep up the good work!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing .
1:50, is a cross pein hammer, very popular among blacksmiths.
I love storms as well, everyone else I know hates them , great finds there especially the worm.
wow! a bell brass cast coin in that condition! great find dan!(1790-1796) giveme-giveme-giveme-lol!!!
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.
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.
Nice one Dan😃
By the way that is a U.S. Army WW2 Collar badge we find them at our Army camp sites here in OZ
As the yanks were here training in jungle warfare before going to New Guinea 1942-43.
Happy Hunting
Craig
I bet France feels just like home for you with all that rain.. :)
Great video!
***** At least you don't live in Oklahoma, if you ever decide to live in Oklahoma, MOVE ONTO A HILL. Lest you drown in the flood rains we've been getting the last couple of months.
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.
105's also use powder bags.
Dan you detect the best places, wish I could hunt just one of the places you get to go
by the way your videos inspired me to take up metal detecting, I've been at it for a year and a half now with my little ace 250, I have a cheap pin pointer that is horrible though lol, maybe my next find will be so good that someone will trade a good one for it ☺
Oh wow, nice US collar insignia Dan! Congrats! I found my first one of those here in the states last spring and I was stoked. More special where you found yours though! Mine was WW1.
You should call them "button balls" - sometimes they might have coins in them!
***** dan just have to say love your videos and when you find gold it will be an amazing video
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.
33c here now... in the old house i live in it's way warmer! :(
enjoyed the video! thanks for keeping my mind off of the heat :)
If 20 degrees is considered quite warm or hot then never come to Australia in the summer
50centgotshot9times Although watching the video til the end when the storm hit and I can tell you we get almost the exact same weather. It's super hot then a mighty storm comes and it's amazingly powerful and cool to see such a weather change.
50centgotshot9times It was 94 degrees F here in the Midwest USA. That is hot. 34.44 degrees C.
It gets to 40 where I used to live
50centgotshot9times aye apparently 50 cent got shot 9 times
Mohamed Elmasri apparently aye
You really make me want to do metal detecting I find it amusing haha keep it up!!
Will do some day Ballbags70 :D
Great video as allways, Dan! Keep it up :)
And the pieces of the tool you found were a folding knife or what's left of it. Another amazing video Dan. Keep it up.
Nice hunt! !some cool finds!
And I love storms too. They made me want to sleep for days and dream about piles of gold coins. LOL
Awesome on the U.S. Button/pin! That a .30 Cal round for a M1 Carbine.
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.
at 4:00 the smokeless powder tags possibly were attached to containers of artillery propellant
Hi Dan, Nice video, cool finds.... cheers, g;)
Good times Dan.
Dan that plate you found twice,the first at 2.31 / 2.53 , thats from a american wooden ammo/grenade box,you found a half 1 , its normaly twice the size ,i found a few in Hurtgenwald,,mainly on where the canons stood..
Thanks for sharing
love it . i like storms to
Love your videos Dan
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.
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).
The military plane (the one that flew over the field) was a C-130 military cargo plane. The attack version is the AC-130 which has many guns on it.
Spartin Gaming Thats not a C1-30.... A C1-30 have 4 propellers
Spartin Gaming Close, BP Productions is right, C-130 is a 4 engine transport used by the US military. What you're seeing there is a Transall C-160.
ok, need to read my military book again to learn more!
***** always making me laugh! 😂
the big flappy thing flies over my town quite a bit.
At 4:00 those tags are for the U.S. Howitzer ammo crates
The "Tool" looks like a Tent Nail
That button was a british Grenadier button. I recognized the symbol on it.
4:45 is a button from World war 1, Its from a french Uniform I don't know what that particular infantry was called like but its the same bomb that was on the "Adrian Helmet" :)
The french button at 4:45 is ordinance or artillery...the US Army ordnance corps wears one of similar design.
The US lapel pin is worn by all Army soldiers on their dress uniforms.
6:15, maybe an old surgeons lancet used for bleeding. Maybe ?
The smokeless powder could be for grenades, but im not sure. Great video Dan!
Noast75 grenades used flake TNT not smokeless powder.
Ah ok.
the thing in the leather shroud looks like an old musket bayonet
Dan the bullet is a 30 caliber carbine bullet
Ah, yes, a summer rain. We just had a doozy of a storm in Los Angeles of all places, and in July! I had to drag my camera out and shoot some footage. It's up on my channel if you want to see a real rarity.
I think the coin will read Navarrone. As in the book The Guns of Navarrone.
It is absolutely a .30 carbine round
The aircraft at 10.18 is a French Air Force C-160D Transall
at 1:27 it looks like a Knights shield from a miniature model of a suit of armor. or a military medal?at 6:10 it's a leprechaun's putter and club case.
Awesome.
Its an M1 Carbine bullet found a few of them here in England
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.
looks like a 30.caliber bullet for the m1 carbine maybe?
I too believe that's what it is.
+dacasey24 Ya I think so too
me too
Definitely from the m1 carbine
Smokless powder accually replaced black powder at proppeling bullets in the late1800s
Great video how cool was that plane going over
Thanks for the video, will you be detecting the hedgerows too? Seems like a lot of battles went through that part of France.
Good variety video Dan, What were the giant "wasp nest" things in the trees behind your head at the 14:35 mark?
Great videos Dan, thanks for always sharing. What's your best find whilst in Normandy? Also do you have a web blog or website I can visit and follow you on? I don't do Facebook and twitter goes to fast for me, but You Tube is good except I have to wait a week before finding out what great relics you've been finding. Cheers :)
Where do you display things after they have been cleaned and identified, Like the buckle at 3:18?
Thanks Dan,very enjoyable video,that U.S. button is great ! , i know the feeling because i found 1 to in a forrest near Aachen,mine had the back bit intact,yes i know the wow feeling on that one :-)
The bullet you found is for the U.S. caliber 30 M1 Caebine
Very nice..
He just bought a go pro and mic
16:54 30 caliber M1 carbine round. Normally carried by officers and paratroopers. Sometimes the head stamp will say carbine. This is the carbine not the garand.
Even in another country you find better American things than I do!
Is that " military button " the the emblem of the grenadier guards?
Thank god there's new music 😂
1 a piece Dan. Who's going to take the Third Test?
2:36 gunpowder tin lid
Hey Dan, The bullet you found looks like a .44 Magnum, .357, or .45 ACP round. I am pretty sure it was for a pistol.
Good video by the way!! As always, you earned the Like.
***** Thanks! That's why I said 'looks like' and not 'is'. :)
The button at 4.45 is a British Army Grenadier Guards button. Check out their badge on google and you will see!
Dan..that is a .30 cal M1 Carbine round.@17.25
That looked like a .30 caliber Round you found
The unfired bullet is from a us carbine
Hi Dan That was an Hercules C130 i think the J model RAAF plane, i believe it was 1 of ours from OZ. Based in Richmond N.S.W.
No way ^^ C-130 has 4 engines this had 2
Could be a Casa or a Transall C-160 from Germany
Jason Dean Transall C-160
cheers Woot, I realized my mistake as soon as i posted. Which is shameful cause i live next door to Richmond R.A.A.F base N.S.W where the C.130 J is based, i hang my head in shame lol.
Jason Dean Cheers Jason. My first thought was an American C-123.
Every video, I get so jealous. lol
I'm maybe getting a really good metal detector for my birthday
The bullet is a 30 cal for the M1 carbine.
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.
yer a clumsy git matey .. LOL .. nice finds .. Ged
The storm should wash up some relics. US button or collar tab?
