Digging up Wartime and Nazi relics in the Berlin woods.
Last day of our trip in the Berlin area. Metal detectors were fired up and off we went.
We had a great day, finding much from the second world war era. German helmets, medals and more!
The 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 KZfaq 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

Some nice finds. It makes me think however, when you find medals, medal bars, pieces of cloth and buttons, as well as an ID tag, you are probably looking at the remains of people that were in an explosion.

13:46 is called a carbid light, carbid is something like a rock, if you pour some water on it, it'll makes a flamable gas. The carbid was is that cannister what was locked up with the clambs. The small sidepipe was where the water could be pour in. The middle pipe came the gas out and what was ignited to give light.

There are all sorts of wooded locations on the outskirts of Berlin where hastily cobbled together collections of die hards fought right at the end. Given that they were days away from imminent defeat you can well imagine why awards such as the Freikorps cross and the gallantry medal for Russian volunteers were discarded, and why their owners were more than usually prepared to fight to the last. The Freikorps cross was not a National Socialist award but for right wing paramilitaries indicating the bloke was almost certainly a WW1 veteran who fought in the streets in the period of near civil war right after the First World War. It was not a recognised award in the Nazi period so the bloke wouldn't have worn it but carried it with him clearly proud of his involvement, but potentially not the sort of record you would want revealed going into enemy custody, assuming of course he survived and discarded it. But given the horrendous casualties such formations suffered who knows. The man had clearly had a lifetime of brutal warfare. Really poignant, significant, revealing and all too human finds that tell a story when combined with the location.

@@osric1730 Having been raised by WW2 Vets I much appreciate the life stories being told in these finds here. Mike does a good job. I enjoy his hobby or work. I hold a piece of history in my hands and I feel as if I knew the person who owned it. It is just that we Americans tend to forget that we are mere children n history when it comes to the rest of the World. My bizarre connecting wants to reach further back and here beyond stone tools of the true owners of this land there is precious little of it over here. Peace to you and yours.

@osric1730 11 ай бұрын

@@ergot57 I grew up in a house with a WW1 vet so the freikorps medal resonated particularly with me. Where I live its possible if you keep your eyes open to find flint arrowheads or tools plowed up from time to time. Sometimes you find incomplete workings and I showed one to an archaeologist and he said "yeah that's what we call a 'sod it' ". He explained that often when flint knapping either through inexperience, error or a fault in the stone the process is abandoned before completion and the partially completely stone is discarded. Its fantastic to find evidence of a piece of ancient human frustration and to imagine the last person who touched this item was annoyed at having wasted his time and tossed it away in a "sod it" moment, only for the stone to redeem itself into a treasure 4000 years later to the next person to touch it. I think of that person and their moment of annoyance that traveled to me across the ages every time I look at it, and that I know pretty much what was going through the mind of the last person that touched it 4000 years ago. Amazing.

love your shows Mike and Jeff! Question: I am coming to Europe for 2 months to study the battlefields from the 2 world wars. I am also returning to the site where my uncle was KIA in Ensdolf, Germany. I would like to metal detect the spot of his death. Killed by an 88, Dec. 14,1944, 95th div. Under Patton. Buried at St Avolds American Cemetery. what are the general guidelines I need to follow? Permission, etc. Also, can I use just a metal detecting hand wand by itself. I need to pack lightly. Or is there a decent inexpensive metal detector that I can toss away or donate before flying home to US? Thank you again for your great shows. Jeff Wood

The german tags are almost imposimble to identify. When you find actual human remains you should definitly report it. Just the tag itself they cant do to much with it.

@IronMikeMetaldetecting Жыл бұрын

what Gerben says. Just the dogtag by itself is something the German authorities don't care about. If there are remains then it is important to report together with the found dogtag.

@IronMikeMetaldetecting Hi Mike, thanks for responding. I've googled dna survival. From what I read, given the right circumstances, dna can last 1000's of years. 100,000's in some cases. I suppose it would depend on how soon after use it was buried. If I were lucky enough to be you or others, I'd take a gamble and put out a request for a dna specialist to offer their services. I, for one, if such a person, would jump at the opportunity. Even if just to really find out either way. Best regards.
