Digging up WW2 Relics at a forgotten Nazi Headquarters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2022
- Still in search of Hitler's lost gold. We will find it one day but in the meantime we came across so many great WW2 relics at a former German army base.
We have been here several times and made videos of what we discovered here in the past. Last year or so I have recorded lots of video footage here which I have posted on my Patron website (link below). What you see here is a compilation of my and my friends digging there for over the past year. All the best finds combined into one big video. If you are a WW2 fanatic and love seeing old relics i'm sure that you will enjoy the video. It became a high paced video filled with some great WW2 treasure. So buckle in and enjoy the ride!
ps. Video has subtitles in multiple languages for your viewing pleasure!

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

Just started following you on patron, awesome video and information about the history of German history!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧🇺🇦
🇷🇺 Z
Man UA-cam algorithms/rules are dumb - I feel like a lot of people would really find this stuff fascinating and interesting and that it should have more views. Keep up the good work your videos are priceless
Thanks for your kind word Thomas. I appreciate it. All good on the number of views, as long as you guys enjoy the content I'm happy
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting your wholeseomness is that of a rare breed. Thank you for sharing with the world what you truly enjoy
I didn't know that until now
Probably because they are watching Fortnite gameplay or some uneducational shit like that.
@@IronMikeMetaldetectingI rather enjoy videos like this where they dig up things that came from the past.
After the end of the war in 1945, my grandfather was forcibly recruited by the American occupation forces in Vienna to remove the everyday objects of the National Socialists from the rooms of the state buildings.
Of course, he kept the cutlery.
When we visited my parents, we always ate with cutlery that had a swastika on it until they died in 2016/2017.
Based
Awesome story Claudia and sorry for your loss. I hope the cutlery was passed on to you or family?
Of course, he was a nazi...
Que historia claudia
Cool
Mike, guys, BRILLIANT work. It never bores us Mike. Believe me, it just makes us envious and at the same time pleased that you're all preserving that history and sharing the adventures.
Thank you. Keep 'em commin! 👍👍👍
Thanks Marty. Glad you enjoyed the video. I will keep them coming!
have some great trips planned so more to come soon.
The amount of cool finds in this place is just unbelievable! Really fantastic! Thanks for showing us these relics.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for dropping by.
Great video Mike, some amazing finds, especially the badges, very nice, thanks 👍😀👌
Wat ontzettend gaaf dit!!!!! Dit wil je blijven kijken…en opnieuw en opnieuw!!!👍🍀💪
Fantastic to watch, first class guys.
Many thanks.👍
Maggi was a requirement in the kitchen when we lived near Trier in the mid-70s. After watching detectorists in Germany and across Europe, my mind's eye sees the terrain much differently.
There is still a bottle of Maggi in my kitchen cabinet today. It really a German/Dutch thing I guess.
Trust me, every time I go out without a detector, I'm just constanytly wondering would could lay there underneath the soil and searching for signs of war (foxholes, bomb-craters and trenches).
Thanks for sharing such videos with us.
thank you for watching Halit. Appreciate you were there at the premiere.
Absolutely enjoyed it! Love you channel and awsome finds!!
Glad you enjoyed the video Samuel!
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing your finds with us here on UA-cam. Must be painstaking, but rewarding, work!
Always spine tingling!!!👍🏻
I don't know if this comment will follow through when the post goes live to everyone, but if you're looking for a creator to support, Mike really takes care of his patrons 👍 More than other creators I have supported.
Thank you for providing reference photos of some of your finds.
you are welcome. Thanks for dropping by!
Another great start to the weekend big balls. Thanks mate
hey heath, not much UXO's to be found here so the balls were just average size this time (okay, maybe a bit bigger than average, kinda like that thought..)
I think it’s awesome that you are excavating history! I would absolutely love to dig with you all. My father was German American and fought against Germany during WWII. He told me many stories from the war. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!
I agree with your sentiments on the personal finds. That louse comb was pretty evocative to me, because the major histories and the news reels never seem to mention the lice and the general dirt that soldiers encountered.
Glad to see you out still getting after it. Great finds.
Thanks Clifford!
Outstanding video mike and chris some great fines good to see chris mike stay safe to you both 👍👍👍🙏🙏💪
Thanks Thomas for coming by again. Always a pleasure to read your comments :)
Thank you! Excellent video.
Hi David, Glad you enjoyed it! Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet! :)
Awesome video Mike, Keep them coming.
Hey Donald, thanks for coming by. More to come!
The Toyplane is the best. very cool i like it. ❤
What a great video. I really liked the old eagle on the cup. Digging in a trash pit would be fun. Love the video. Take care!
Glad you enjoyed it Mary! And again thanks for the support on the Patreon website.
Hello, that tiny model a/c you found is not a Junkers but a Dornier Do17 medium bomber used in the earlier part of WW2 like over England in 1940. Good video. Thank you. Keep digging guys!
Very cool finds. I have to buy relics for my collection, it would be so cool to actually go out and find stuff.
That is what me got started. Was a relic collector at first but wanted to find relics with some more 'character'.
What a trip, well done Mike.
Thank for dropping by! :)
Bravo.....Adoro reliquias,objetivos antigos ainda mas quando se trata da 2 guerra mundial.
Hele gave video en top vondsten op zeker !
You guys are the best..
Cheers from Troutdale Oregon USA.
Hell yes we are! Also have the best viewers!
Thanks for dropping in.
You guys could start your own museum. Awesome stuff man. Well done video also 👍🍻✌
Maybe one day! Thanks for the view and your kind words.
Well done on the finds enjoyed the video
Excellent video excellent fines, until next time God bless.
thanks for dropping by again! Geez man, you've been a long time follower, 5 years. Appreciate it!
Love this my gran has a mint condition razor from WW1 paper work and everything gold priceless no doubt
Cool! Something that should never be sold.
Hi Mike
Lots of ooooooooo’s on this adventure
Thanks too you guys
Cheers
This area did produce some caveman growls and ohhh for sure.
Awesome work guys, especially that ring, I have my grand father's grand father's wedding ring, pure gold, fits perfectly. I never wear it though, passed on to the family. Keep up the great work, stay safe, I really enjoy your videos. Happy father's day to everyone too.
That is awesome! thanks for sharing that. also thanks for your kind words, appreciate it.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting Good morning, you're very welcome indeed, oh, I wanted to say, if you use gardening tools, small spades, hand rakes, snips, etc, that's gonna help a lit in excavations, shovels are great but as you know can damage artifacts, using smaller tools will reduce the chances of damaging relics. Just a thought to help out.
I watch your videos with my husband Lee Stanford. The stone in the ring looks like bloodstone to me! Incredible find!!
Hi Rebecca, glad to see Lee tricked you into watching my videos too! ;-)
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting No tricks involved! I love watching them with him! Seriously, we enjoy them so much. We wish we could come on an adventure with you. Maybe one day! Wishing you all the best!
Rebecca, you would be correct in that the stone in the silver ring is a bloodstone. It is the Old World birthstone for March, I have one in a pendant, it is my birthstone, I was born in March. When I saw it I said Wow, look at that, it surprised me greatly
@@DiggerAlton I happen to love stones, rocks, etc. I recognized it immediately! Bloodstone is a lovely stone!
Love the video Mike!! And just curious could you do videos of cleaning the relics?? I think it would be pretty cool to see the tinnies (WHW badges) and all the other things all nice and clean.
just follow me on my instagram. Try to show the bling stuff there.
Hi Mike, incredible finds WOW! greetings to Italy 🇮🇹😀
Thanks buddy! How are things in Italy?
Hey Mike. I live in America. And I’ve been obsessed with WW2 relics for years. Your content is great. Keep up the good work. I hope to one day be able to come over and do some searching myself.
Thanks! Glad to read you enjoy the channel.
ring was a nice find, 830 (83%) silver. awesome
Love the videos, so much history to discover!
I wonder if the small bottle with the liquid in could maybe be a bottle of holy/ blessed water carried by a god fearing soldier for comfort.
Wow so many amazing finds :)
Thank you 😁
83% pure silver! Good Job!
Iron Mike Thank you my friend a great video here big regards from Scotland to you my friend..
Many thanks for watching!
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting sheer pleasure
Nice job intesting video tnx
great video and finds as always!✌
Thanks for coming by, hope to be able to meet up with you guys any time soon.
We definitely will soon! Already a have a great location in mind where we found many great relics
would like someday to hunt in Germany for history like Iron Mike
I liked the namebadge, Gustav Rosner, could be the Gustav Rosner that lived from 1923-2018. Hè was a chemiker.
Great great finds guys! Love it.
thanks!
Love your channel! Question…Do you plan on opening a museum showing your finds? I’m sure people would love to see them on display 😊
You guys are doing a great job..ld love to do what you guys are doing.....
Thanks Mark! Appreciate it.
Super UA-cam channel! Beautiful finds👍Best regards from Polish 🙂
Thank you very much!

Congrats mate!

One 1940 the other 1939.i believe luftwaffe.great finds you guys are finding.
Hi Phil, can you send me an email please? Would like to ask you something.
ironmikemetaldet@gmail.com
great video, nice job
Thanks John!
Thank you guys, just discovered your channel, excellent English
Hi Michael, thanks the view! Hope you enjoyed the video and decided to subscribe to the channel.
Thanks for the compliment, trying my best to make myself understandable. There is also English subs available just in case you can't understand what I'm saying because of my accent or the German words.
Nice work gents!!!!!
Thank you! Appreciate it.
you never disappoint
You should tell my boss that (or the Iron Lady...) lol
great seeing you out and about again great finds!!!!
Thanks for your comment and the view. Glad you enjoyed the finds :)
It’s incredible this stuff can still be found. I swear if that were in the US it would have all been removed and dumped somewhere for no one to find.
Eu amo esses vídeos sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial
Que espectacular todo
the Medal/Patch of Hultschin at around 3:30 : Its a City nowadays located in the Czech republic close to Poland. The Czech name is Hlučín.
Love watching your diggings and the amazing items discovered especially all the items that had belonged to the Germans. Wow wow wow
Thanks for watching this one as well :)
Bijzondere vondsten hopelijk ooit ook eens zo’n “ooeeh” gevoel mee te maken 😉
Veoma dobar video i lepi nalazi,pozdrav🤝🇷🇸
Hi Mike, really enjoy your videos. Keep it up 👍👍. I noticed that a couple of relics that you designated as toothbrushes had bristles that seemed at least twice as long as a "normal" toothbrush. Could the longer bristled ones actually be brushes for pilishing uniform buttons and other regalia? Unless you guys know different of course 👍👍
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment Russ!
Wow, thats crazy. That there are so many old things under the earth. Til today I don't know where the badges from my grandfather are who served in the Wehrmacht.
My grandfather fought in WW2 wish I could do what you do.
Nice finds
Thanks!
Hello from north Wales mike. Would love to find something WW2 related for my dad's birthday. Love the video great job
hey Mike, any WW2 relics to be found in North Wales?
Good to read you enjoyed the video. All my best to you and your Dad! Wish him a happy birthday from me.
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting no WW2 relics in north Wales it's more old castles but I will try and visit some WW2 locations with him.thank you so much for the reply
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting You can try Fanta, some Hugo Boss clothing or Pervitin chocolate.
So that ring, it looks like a signet ring that has not been engraved yet. It appears to be Bloodstone, which is a popular stone back then for signet rings. Bloodstone was most popular in Russia during Imperial times, but was also used in Germany. The 830 might be a silver mark for a type of sterling, though being in the ground that long even Sterling would tarnish. 830 also comes out to 20K for gold. And I say that because it is completely untarnished. So, have it tested.
Maggi bottle then later the stopper COOL. What was in the bottle with liquid? The leave pass is outstanding. Those 3 badges are fantastic & the little airplane wooooooo! You have the best War time relic hunting channel.
Indeed those finds were very good. We found much more but I only showed you the fun and good stuff in this video.
Thanks for your kind words Joe. I appreciate it :)
@@IronMikeMetaldetecting That small bottle with liquid makes me curious. Was is water?
@@ElOmarco replying late, but those little bottles contained oil for guns
Greetings from Ecuador!
Thanks Leonardo, appreciate the love from Ecuador!
Hulczyn (Hlučín, German Hultschin) - a town in eastern Bohemia, in the Moravian-Silesian region, in the Opava district. It is located in Opavian Silesia (which is part of Upper Silesia) and the Głubczyce Plateau.
Hulczyn is located on a lake, near the border with Poland. There is a museum of military fortifications in Hulczyn-Darkovički.
great, thanks for explaining that!
Envy, i do have a relic from the Custer battlefield i found on private land...
O que você fez ? A relíquia vai para o moseu ?
I liked the sifting video
I'm glad you did! Thanks for coming by Stacie.
23:25 it says "Deutschland erwache!" which basically means "Germany awake!"
thanks for helping out! :)
Finally one that speaks English most of these WW2 channels i find that explore and dig up WW2 stuff speak German and yeah i don't know German.
LOL Thanks! English is not my native/first language but I hope you understand me well enough.
Eres un héroe por poner los subtítulos en Español
My pleasure! Thanks for watching the video!
Impreisionante los objetivos que has encontrado, todos con una historia tremenda.Podrias decirme que bosque es ese?Felicidades por esos hallazgos y animo para continuar.gracias
misschien een stomme vraag, maar wat bedraagt de waarde van zo'n ring? Ik ben trouwens een groot fan van jullie kanaal. Ga zo door!
Moet je eerlijk zeggen dat ik geen idee heb. Ik verkoop het toch niet, ook al heeft het een mooie waarde :)
Bedankt voor je comment en je view!
Hiya, New viewer here. The Hultshin yellow emblem badge is from a town in the Moravian-Silesian region of the Czech Republic.
madre mia . que maravillosos descubrimientos . ¿que detector utiliza? muchas gracias
12:40 why is that bottle top blurred out?
hi Michael, it had the name and logo of a local brewery on it. Don't want other diggers to find out my position.
Very intteresting, i would like to found the same in my french department but i can’t lol and for your hitler’s badge there is writing: Germany admonishes in German :) good kick for all your treasures in the future 😊
Really interesting and awesome work!
What's the song in the intro and outro?
Hi Erik! It’s called Stamina by a great dude called Bestrack:

Cool
That gem in the ring looks like bloodstone
Bingo!
Well done
thanks Andy!

Thank you! ☺️👍
Mike, at 3:59 in your video, you are showing the item from the tray. Here is what I found about the city of Hultschin.
Hlučín (Czech pronunciation: [ˈɦlutʃiːn]; German: Hultschin; Polish: Hulczyn) is a town in Opava District the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.
Thanks for your help!
❤tolles video❤
Danke!
The mirror finish on that ring would probably be highly visible, and therefore an extreme liability, in combat. If the owner was going to the front, I'm betting that they either put it in a pocket where it fell out, or discarded it.
Silver with 830 is/was mostly made in Scandinavia expecially Norway.
Hi what do you do with the live amp that you find ?
