- I went metal detecting in search of the Prisoner of War camp but ended up finding a massive stash of bullets from WWII, something a bit different but still a very interesting period in history. Hopefully I will be able to get back onto some farms with great history soon so stay tuned for that. 😁

ALWAYS a pleasure tagging along with you, Ed - whatever you're doing. 😁 I love that huge button. Imagine what sort of garment that was sewn onto, eh? 🤔😲 It may happen that someone will want some of that old ammo for an historical display, so keep it safe. 😁 See you next time. 😊😘🤗💖👍👋
Hey Noralee, nice to see you, I think the silver thing must have been some sort of container but no idea what. Unfortunately it is illegal to own live bullets here without the correct licence so I have disposed of them so I don't get into trouble 😬
Wow! Super buttons! Beautiful scenery. Thanks. S
Thanks Suzy 😁
Lot’s of ammo in beautiful scenery, love the buttons and intriguing silver thing. Take care and thanks for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Thank you 🙂
Thanks Ed. Fantastic video. So much ammo. Very cool.
Thanks you 😁
Nice Ed thanks.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant job brother u are the legend i no that explains the finds so well
Cheers mate, always nice to see you on here 😁👍
06:50 My first impression was the lid and rim of a tankard. 🤔
Oh you might be right there 👍
A bag of mysterious items Ed mate…..you’re a very patient man to keep digging ammo all day, but you had fun & found some cool stuff. Enjoyable Sunday morning watch my friend. All the best, Marcus
Thanks Marcus, it got a bit much digging all the bullets but I wanted to see how many I could find because I don't think I will go back there again, especially now harvest has arrived!! I saw some fields cut so cannot wait to get back onto them. I hope you are well mate 👍
Wouldn't like one of those anti-tank rounds coming at me!
But a 9mm is not so bad? 😅
It must be a bit of a strange feeling to be hunting where men and guns were once walking the ground.
Well when you think about it it kinda is but at least not like in Europe where it was being used 😕
Love the big, weird twisty things with the decorative (beaded?) edge...Yay to the buttons and those tiny silver clip things, too. Bullets make me nervous tho, but not seeing a hat makes me more nervous, young sir!😅 (throwing some sheba-shade😆)
Oh no! I knew you would pick up that I forgot my hat 😅 I will remember it next time but the weather tricked me...honest 😁
13:00 that’s amazing
Never knew they did that… I found…
55/.303 rifle was not intended as a small-calibre high-velocity armour-piercing weapon; however, the purpose was to provide a rifle of lesser power to be used on standard .303CF capable ranges, but at the same time affording recoil more akin to the firing of the .55 AP round to better prepare those in training for the significant recoil of the full-bore rifle. The .55/303 practice round for this rifle was headstamped either just with "K 37" or with the addition of the .55 inch design number
Thanks, I read the same thing, it is quite interesting but makes sense 😁
Home Guard training area perhaps.
I think it was an ammo storage but why there were so many dropped I don't know 😳
I'm not much into ammo, but I really like that dandy button!
Yes it was a bit annoying finding so many but an interesting experience. I have just seen the farmers harvesting some crops so need to go check my fields. I am excited for that 😁
Unusual finds in a field, although you knew it was possible. Good to see you again, Ed. Have a great week ahead, and see you on the next! Cheers Ed! 😊
Thanks, it was a bit of an unusual day but I had a good time 😁👍
That potential silver scrappy thing, I wonder if it was a decorated plate or container? Would love to see it flattened out and the mystery solved! Intriguing.
It is quite solid, I think I need an expert to straighten it out but I think it is some sort of container by no idea what 👍
Have you informed police?
No but I disposed of them responsibly, they have better things to do than to deal with some 80 year old bullets I think 🙂
8:05 those .303 blanks can be for rifle Grenades. My son found about 20 buried under a tree by a ww2 firing range
That is interesting I never though of that 👍
the big weird thin looks like an anti aircraft bullet shell
that is what I thought it was too initially
Sten gun ammo and .303 spill 😊
Yes I think you are right 😅
Are those bullets not fired and still live?
Yes they were in fired 😳
