    My grandfather's dad was a pilot from the Luftwaffe, he survived the war and came to Argentina after it.
    I showed some of your videos to my grandfather and he came into tears, it was shocking to him to see the whole things you find about the Luftwaffe.
    I don't speak english very well, actually I'm from Argentina.
    Thank's for showing this to the people, I hope this can make the people understand about war isn't the anwser.
    Sorry for my bad english.

    Even though stuff has been buried for that many years, i wouldn't advise people or yourself to dig that roughly, detonators/fuse/bombs can still go high if they're hit hard with a shovel (1:58) or even handled like you do even further into the clip..
    Friendly advice from an EOD Technician

      I totally agree and fully understand the risk doing this Activity.
      Life is and will always be like that. I could just as well be run over by a bus tomorrow or fall from the sky in a Aircraft,,or ?
      Thrills can se found in form of a 40 foot wave surfing or looking for relics....
      thanks for friendly advice and tip

    For the roots. Get yourself a straight cut tin snip (double joint action, the ones Stanley makes), it's perfect for roots and even garden work. I bought one and one day was in a hurry to cut some stuff in the garden and found that it works very well, it has tiny serrated teeth that grab the root and just cut through it. It will cut around one cm and even ticker if you really push it.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter

      +aserta i have a couple of cutters and they work great. not often i use them as i get tired of cutting almost before i start. Thanks for great tip and for watching.

    Mate you have to be the most interesting posters on U-tube. I greatly enjoy your postings and find your commentary very good. I particularly like the way you show how a relic originally looked so we can understand more. I am very jealous of your close proximity to these second world war sites and for people like myself who have a great interest in this stuff but cannot access it, your postings are of great interest. Keep up the good work and thank you very much for your work.

    I can sympathise with you being bitten by a tick. I was bitten a few months back and I actually suffered from lymes disease for a few weeks. It wasn't nice. Glad you survived. I'm loving these early videos. I really need to watch a lot more of them. It adds more context to your more recent stuff.

  • @WW2HistoryHunter

    When you make your search grid and you don’t find any items, do you move the grid right next to the one you just searched or do you move to another location? Watching this as being one of your first videos you have come a long way. Unlike other channels yours gets better every time and I see your knowledge improve with each search. Always enjoy being on your adventures with you my friend.

    To help with ticks, stuff your pant legs into your boots, then spray insects killing spray, such as raid on your boots and knee high on your pants. You should put your cloths in the washer as soon as you get home.

  • @anthonyroberts7718
    @anthonyroberts7718 Рік тому +1

    I always thought that when a bomb exploded it would be in a million pieces but after watching your videos the mortar tip are almost complete or just split in half. And the artillery shells and bombs leave large pieces of shrapnel. I guess the large pieces are what do the most damage to tanks, vehicles and bunkers. Do you set your metal detector to a certain mode if your looking for something specific? Can a detonator be dangerous on it’s own? Am still amazed at how much your able to recognize an item even when it’s almost deteriorated by rust and dirt.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  Рік тому +1

      yes those can be in million pieces or just a few pieces it seems. the MD machine has several programs and one can create specific personal programs depending on ones preference or experience. Thanks Anthony.

    I wish I could try something like this in Europe. I think it's pretty amazing when I find an old abandoned house foundation out in the forest, and find little odds and ends, old tools and broken canning jars from 120 years ago. Or, down by the river in town, I found a number of old auto parts along the river bank. A piece of an old camshaft, some steering knuckes, a few spark plugs. I spent a few hours looking around for more and cleaning the rust off (I don't have a detector or anything). So it would be even more amazing to find relics from the war, and think about the men who must have used that item at some point, and wonder just how it ended up exactly where it is. Like your bomb detonator...did some careless guy drop it 70 years ago? Did it fall out of a crate as they evacuated before the Germans arrived? Or as the Russians pillaged to place? Was it a damaged detonator that some guy removed from a bomb and tossed in the bushes? We'll never know, but I'd love to see it in person.

    Those squirrels in that area were quite hostile. Definitely didn't want you in their territory HH. That aircraft bomb detonator was something with the aluminum housing. Thanks for pic to compare. Where you able to take some of the shrapnel, ammo box , mortar, or grenade metal back? Watch out for the tick bastards and remember your mosquito net please. 2nd Genuine bomb detonator was cool. Have never seen a tree that grows roots like a blonde barbie doll's hair. 😂 Aluminum top for German bomb was interesting, again thanks for pic for comparison and explaining the inner workings. Very successful metal detecting adventure. Thanks for sharing HH. P S. Remember to watch your "B" around those nasty army ants.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter

    8:20, that twisted metal looks like something that was damaged in an explosion. Although is they bulldozed the place it could have done the same thing, I guess.

      +justforever96 i know for sure that the Allied bombed the area several times so a bomb Storage or a ammos torage probably got hit. That is why Things are so mangled up. thanks.

    Thank you for sharing your very interesting and amazing field work with us.
    I live in the wet west coast of BC Canada and do not have any of the "metal detecting history" of any mechanized war. I have deeply enjoyed all avenues of aviation throughout the world and appreciate all the time you have spent to enlighten me in your area of exploration, fascinating ...I have been to the Imperial War Museum in London and can visualize some of the items of war you find. "Only the dead know the end of war" Plato...peace....good detecting my friend!.. thumb's up & scribed!!

      Appreciate Your Words and thanks a lot for for that.
      There will be a series of several videos coming up soon from a special Luftwaffe location that i have visited several times and all kinds of relics found.
      Greetings from WW2HH and remember history is actual everywhere.

    And those little "mortar" thingies...I don't see why there would be mortar shells on a luftwaffe base, unless they tried to hold it against Russian attack. Usually, the base and personnel would be evacuated when the enemy got too close. I'm thinking maybe 30mm aircraft cannon shells? Although it looks like 40mm, which is too small for most mortars, too big for your average aircraft cannon. Maybe submuntions for a cluster bomb? Possibly a Russian one, which would explain the exploded ones. If they were German. I'd expect them to be intact, unless they were scattered when they blew up the ammunition dumps?
    Another thought...37mm shells from an antiaircraft gun. They Germans used a 37mm Flak gun, which they also adopted into an anti-tank gun for use on he Stuka dive bomber as the BK 3,7cm. It could be dud shells that fell back to earth, perhaps? They were supposed to automatically detonate at a certain altitude so they didn't fall to earth again, but if the fuse failed, they might anyway.
    I was also thinking that a lot of those detonators are it pretty bad shape...makes me wonder if they aren't left from bombs that the Germans dropped on the airfield after the Russians had captured it. I don't see why else they'd be so mangled. Perhaps if a bulldozer had driven over the supplies to destroy them after the war...
