- While searching for Hitler's lost gold I stumbled upon this pit filled with WW2 items. Last year I was on vacation with my family and found an area where the metal detector picked up signals everywhere. I found several amazing German World war II relics and also found what seemed to be a World War II dump-pit.
Back then it was too hot and too much work for one person so I came back and brought my friend René to help me out. Much more came out than I expected. This far by far the biggest and best relic pit I ever discovered!
Pieces of German Wartime uniforms, rank insignias, badges, dog tags, glass buttons, so many items that have been hidden in the ground for more than 75 years. Join me on our adventure and let's see what we find.

FAQ:
-Do you report things found to the authorities?
Yes, all nasty things found like UXO's and finds that could be important from an archaeology perspective are reported to the local authorities.
-Do you sell finds?
I am a collector myself so I hardly sell relics. But if I do then I'll post it on the social media pages or think about becoming a Patron, because I'll share finds with my Patrons (check out the Patreon website for details).
-How do you gain permission for metal detecting?
Check out local laws regarding metal detecting and get permission from the landowner. Or hook up with a local metal detecting club in the area you would like to detect and get your information from them. (I stopped responding to questions like this all together, I'm not google..)
-Can I come with you?
No.
-Will you marry me?
No, lets just be friends.
-I want to see more!
Go check out the social media pages, or consider becoming a Patron! Patrons have access to much more, special videos, behind the scenes footage and WW2 goodie boxes containing relics me and my friends found over the years.
-What metal detector do you use?
The Garrett Ace Apex with a bigger coil or the Garrett AT Max.
-Camera?
Go Pro 7, Go Pro 10 and a Sony handy cam
-Favourite find?
Deep Digger Dan's UA-cam channel. GET IN!
-What is on your bucket list?
Hitler's lost gold or the missing gold train everybody is searching for. But until then I am happy with whatever pops up, I even enjoy finding landmines... :-s
Hey guys, need your help! -> please don't forget to subscribe (we are on the road to 100k subs) and give the video a thumbs up.
It really helps to trigger the UA-cam algoritmes in a positive way.
If you have any questions or remarks, leave a comment!
Do you guys have an ultrasonic cleaner like jewelry shops use to clean delicate pieces. That would clean up those belt buckles.
All in all a consistent , no BS , no giant selling sales pitches…..just excellent Content and PRESENTATION. Great stuff . Absolutely Zero “ fluff / BS / and bad jokes “ . You guys Rule ! At what you do . And it does not go unnoticed.👍🏼
I appreciate that! Just being me, having a good time metal detecting and trying to show you guys some nice finds.
Nothing more, nothing less :)
Its fake
Oooooooooh yehhhhh...great finds Mike
Awesome adventure buddy! Too bad I missed out on this one. Catch you next time ;-) Cheers!
thanks for dropping by buddy! Hey, you can't have them all! And you have nothing to complain about! ;-)
Hi big fans..me follow you
Can't wait for these, you guys have had the biggest finds out there! Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
I read recently that fallschirmjager erkennungsmarke were usually blank except for their personal number...so if captured or killed, an enemy wouldnt know what unit they were from. That might explain the mostly blank dogtag....you did find alot of luftwaffe stuff in that pit. Also, sometimes , replacement troops didnt get their tag unit stamped. Im sure many paramilitary units like nskk drivers probably had limited stampings on their tags as well.
So awesome. I love digging through stuff like that. I really like those glass buttons. Those have to rare. Can’t wait for more. Enjoy your adventures!!
Hospital would make sense for so many discarded uniform parts, it seems strange there's so much Kreigsmarine there though, are you near a port or some coastal artillery positions?
Looking forward to this one big time. Watching this tonight while eating my dinner, love it! 💓😊👍
Great video with some fantastic finds...well done & thanks for sharing them
Awesome that you found your digging tool! I remember seeing the video when you lost it and thinking "dang man, gotta go back! Good tools are often hard to find".
LOL because of Covid I had to wait a long time to get back there. Almost bought a new one. Glad I didnt because they are actually pretty expensive.
Always enjoy Mike's videos. He generally finds some great stuff.
Nice finds. Can't wait to see the next one. Have to have WW2 in the title, almost All your other videos have that. You've been posting videos for five years now. Who would have thought it was that long. Back to your Deep Digger Dan days.
Looks very very cool already! Im hyped for the video!
Great finds once again, amazing that those shoulder boards are still holding together after all those years underground.👍
17:50 Ooh a really nice stainless steel LW pilot tag..love theese
need to check it out more, but looks like it is a Fallschirmjager dog tag :)
ur videos are outstanding, especially when u show what a certain artifact looks like when worn! Many thanx & keep up the great work!🇺🇸
This is a real Treasure trove of finds Mike.. Can you share - certainly this does NOT appear to be a garbage dump, so is it possible that retreating soldiers wanted to simply remove remenants of their bury their military service ??
Great video Mike, So many brilliant finds :)
Outstanding Mike! love your Videos!
Get in! Brother! I always enjoy your videos!!
@17:31 you had that dogtag,It looks to be made of stainless steel.It might be a tag to mark a cabinet or box.The US occasionally uses dogtags to mark equipment and cabinets.
Outstanding fines mike and rennie
Fantastic find. What a thrill.
More fabulous finds from the war hunter👍
Thanks for watching! :)
🙏🏼 thanks appreciate your footage
Amazing Mike! You are the best!
Wow, thanks Kerry! You making me blush like a schoolgirl.
Greetings from the U.S. Mike. I am sure you have been asked this before but I am curious if you have ever had the opportunity to research the history and/or fate of the soldiers you find dog tags for?
I have but German authorities don't hand out information due to very strict privacy laws. So much different than how things work in the US. Tried to report them in the past as well, but German authorities are not interested.
Really nice finds ! I love the goggles ! 👏
That’s a Gerber digging tool. Dang those are expensive so that was an amazing lost & found
Well done! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching Morgan!
Awesome finds Mike!! You guys are killing it!!!
thanks buddy! We did had some luck there. :)
What a awsome dig place, and its a big timecapsule that hole with awsome relics
Good luck next hunt

That was an epic hunt indeed. What super finds.
Yeah it was a super hunt. But we also did some metal detecting around the pit. So more footage coming soon ;)
Alweer een top video! Mijn complimenten 💪💯👊❤
Tx Mike! Goed te lezen dat je het leuk vond!
Hi from Canada
On that dog tag in the war those tags would get put on string past from command to command till they could be properly recorded the very first tag was a tag number for that striing of tags is what i believe the very shinny tag is that u found
Great video!
Thanks!
Lot of fun
Woooooow....Very Nice Guys👍🤠
Thanks! :)
What a finds... im jeleous!
Don't be! If you detect yourself, just keep on going and one day you'll find something good too.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting im trying harder then the fire rate of a mg42
Tanta bella roba bravi !!!!!!😍
Amazing 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great finds. If that was actually the location of a field hospital, there is always the possibility of a pit with human body members in it from amputations.
We didnt find any, and hope not to come across it..
Sei molto bravo e simpatico👏👏👏
do you save what you find...i love watching you....my dad fought at the battle of the bulge...
Dit lijkt me echt een geweldige hobby erg interessant!!
Bedankt voor het kijken Linda! Is inderdaad geweldig om te doen. :)
Mooi gedaan jongens mooi spul.
Cool finds mate...
thank you :)
Hey Mike, first of all great video again! Realy enjoy your video's. Just a tip you can try next time you find a peace of metal that is bend. Try using a heatgun to warm up the metal, it softens the metal and it reduces the chance of breaking it when you try to bend it back! Good luck with the next searches, can't wait to see where you end up next time!
Hi Niek, you are right to heat the metal first before bending. But these dogtags are not 100% metal. They are an alloy with some crappy form of Zinc. That zinc stuff doesnt do well in the ground for so long, it tends to corrode. So it will break even if you heat it up first. But thanks for your advice, I appreciate it!
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting aah oke to bad... you're welcome!
nice Finds
thank you!
I know its an old video and not of help for this one but what if you tried heating up bent tags like that to slightly soften the metal so it can bend back with out snapping?
Mega cool! 😳🙂
thank you!
Awesome Video Mike, make's me think what else is in that area that you could find,keep up the good work!
We did some metal detecting the day after... More to come! ;)
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Is this forest in germany?
you are in Schleswig Holstein there are a lot of PW Camps.
gekke video weer mike!
Wow, amazing!!!🇺🇸
Looks like a lot of Navy stuff. Even the shoulder straps are probably Navy as they have the pointed end, where the Army stopped using that shape at the beginning of WWII and used rounded ends. Where you near the ocean?
Hey Mike,
Man what should I say, that’s a hole, everybody of us is dreaming from….
That feeling to dig in sich big dump pits…
Thanks for sharing and nice side commentary about the history of this place!
Btw, the dog tag is a codified one from the Luftwaffe.
Greetings AC
Hi AC! Thanks for dropping by! Well didn't expect to find this much to be honest. Just pure luck I guess.
Especially the mixture of relics from different divisions is what made this pit special in my opinion. Luftwaffe, kriegsmarine, wehrmacht and coastal artillery. Did some metal detecting around the pit the day after.. some more oohhs in the next video as well. ;-)
Btw, the shiny dogtag is probably from this unit:
51513:
(8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 11.1.1944 Schlachterei-Kompanie 4.
Fallschirmjager-Division,
(23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 26.6.1944 Fallschirm-Schlachterei-Kompanie
Brother. Legend português Brasil!
Brilliant as always Mike, do you think this pit was left overs from patients who never made it? Maybe the shiny dog tag was for a patient they couldn't identify so he was just given a record number. Just a thought. Thanks for a wonderful adventure.
Maybe those who didnt make it, or for what ever reason didn't need it anymore.
There is more so maybe one day we'll be able to find out what exactly happened there. Thanks for watching!
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Look forward to every Video Mike.
It's my understanding that if they were killed the dog tag was snapped in half. Also, try heating with a torch next time you have to try and bend something without breaking it. It usually helps
Hey Mike? What are you guys doing with the complete finds of German Dogtags? In Germany we bring them to the Authorities, so they can check them and find family members. So they know where there grandfathers, Uncles etc. have lost there lives.
Is there a database where you can fund out information about those dog tags?
Schöes Video echt cool👍👍👍👍
thank you!
Which country is this where you found it?
Counting down the hours Mike...
Hello Mike
Division Supply Leader 255 Erected on August 26, 1939. October 15, 1942 in Renamed Commander of Division Resupply Forces 255. On December 28, 1943, renamed Commander of Divisional Resupply Forces 363. Replacement force was the Motor Vehicle Replacement Department 24. Administrative Services 255 Medical Services 255 1st / Medical company 255 2nd / Medical company 255 1. / Ambulance train 255 2. / Ambulance train 255 Field Hospital 255
Great job! Well done! Did you know the identity of the fallen soldiers? Were you able to verify the identity? It's important for the Karma.. Don't forget about it...
No we didn't. German authorities can't hand out information about who the dog tags belong too and if there are no human remains found at the site, they basically don't care.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting it's really sad. Are always something that could give peace to some families. In your position I'll search however to do something to give a name and surname to the id tags. It's always a good thing and you can help your "Karma" too...
those belongings are from german pow i think.In many cases all the signs and buttons where cut of just with a knife.good founds;is this in Belgium,france,germany ? greetingsfrom Belgium;
I had one of those with teeth when I was a teenager before I was grown old enough to get a bridge. In America we called them a Thumb Plate.
I cant belive that you found a sock ww2 era AND GLASSES
The shiny dogtag is probably a Fallschirmjager one!
it probably is! So far found this on it (other digger tipped me about it.)

Great video...
Greatings from Berlin
Thank you very much! danke fürs anschauen
Was it a hospital site? So many different services in one spot, and none military dogtags
Hey , glass button kriegsmarine were produced in Jablonec Nad Nisou (Czech Republic) . We found hundreds of them in the dump. I am sorry for my English , google translator :-) :-) . Greetings from the Czech Republic :-)
Hi, no worries, I can understand perfectly what you are saying. Interesting, didn't know they produced those buttons in the Czech Republic. Thanks for that!
complimenti per queste belle ricerche
thank you!
Outside the former Soviet Union: Very likely, there are very few undug battle sites and arsenals of undug ww2 weapons hidden by Nazi soldiers prior to retreats, in any other country outside of the former Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, there are wide open spaces. So no one may have gone back to a battle site even as Nazi armies were strategically withdrawing, forest by forest, village after village. For instance: If someone in Belgium or Holland says he found an untouched cache of weapons in an unknown battlefield or withdrawal site , that site has likely been dug up yearly by local villagers and raided 76 times in 76 years.
Пивет из Витебска! Хорошо копнули, у нас таких ям почти не осталось
Hi Mike, maybe one day you will come to visit us to dig together in Romania with our Romanian Military Archeology group. You can find us on facebook or here on youtube.Cheers!
