My name is Chris, I’m 29 years old and I have a passion for WW2 history. The silent WW2 reminders in and around my home in Europe nourished my passion for WW2 history while growing up. In 2010, I decided to pick up a metal detector and set out on a journey to recover lost artifacts and their untold stories, that I could share with the world. Follow me during these educational metal detecting documentaries where we share these WW2 stories!
I’ve been a RU-vidr for about 13 years now. By now I have exceeded the staggering number of 500.000 subscribers!

La mayoría del armamento de los ingleses siempre era inferior al alemán; sólo en tema aéreo y naval estaba parejo; si los Americanos no les hubiesen aportado su ayuda, Churchil en vez de puros, se hubiera fumado los pelos del sobaco.
Not sure when but RU-vid unsubscribed me from your channel. I just realized that I hadn't seen any videos from you in months Actually I believe the last one I saw in my notifications was the second or third that had your girlfriend in it.
That is so cool to stand where many brave men stood and did their duty and more these guys should leave that ordinance alone and dont say anything after all it was buried so people wouldn't use it as over time it decays and is less of a threat
It's amazing to think that most of your finds would initially have been just lying on top of the ground and then nature began to take them. I love watching you all, I do a little amateur detecting and never have found anything old.
how do you find these locations? Me and my buddy recently begun medal detecting. Whe went to Vroenhoven brug because there was heavy fighting, but when found 1coin (not from ww2) and scrap metal…
Damned if I'd be digging around those sites. Never can tell if there's any UXO laying around. Even today UXO is still being found throughout Germany, France and Italy.
German wooden bullet ammo was used in combat. I had a WWII friend that was injured near the end of the war and he was shot at close range with a 8mm German rifle and firing a wooden bullet. The bullets hit him in the hip and he had a very long recovery because the bullet broke into many little pieces and his leg was almost removed because of the infection from the wooden piece that were still in him. He suffered his whole life from his wound.
The token appears to be a 10 Pfennig token. I've seen on that reads "Kantine Panzerschiff Admiral Scheer" on the reverse side and they were used about ships. The one I seen was used about the cruiser called Admiral Scheer for example.
