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..)

No.
-Will you marry me?
No, lets just be friends.
