Metaldetecting in Germany. Best find ever! 

That's one of the earliest versions of the panzer assault badge. If it was a later version one, there'd either be 25, 50, 75 or 100 to signify howmany engagements the soldier had. In the video it looked like it was bronze, can you confirm if it was? It didn't look silver, so whoever had it was not part of a tank crew. Being bronze, it must've belonged to either a panzergrenadier, or a crewmember of an assault gun, part of a recon. group or just someone that was attached to a panzer division. In any case. Assuming the owner of the medal was still alive, it must've been one badass dude to stay alive that long. Probably died in the closing stages of the 2nd world war defending the last lines of defence around berlin. Hat off to that dude. Very awsome and rare find notheless! Treasure that one!

I like the format of your videos. No talking about nothing for half an hour. Just straight to the good stuff, the finds. Earned a sub

Can't believe this is 8 years ago, so glad I ran across your videos Mike. Thanks again for sharing

I went metal detecting in my grandparents field and found an 8-inch cannonball!

The 10 øre coin from Norway outside of Berlin just blows my mind. So much history. Imagine the story of the guy losing in there.

As a tank enthusiast I would just love that badge.

Something I would like to suggest that would possibly make your videos more interesting is that if you cut briefly to a photo of the objects after you have taken them home and cleaned them. You could also show museum quality representations of objects that you find. For example if you find a part of something you could show a photo of that object attached to the larger whole object from photos of them you find on the internet or in a museum.

Some of the stuff you've found is absolutely mint keep digging man can't wait to see more

Kind of humbling thinking that someone, regardless of their political ideology, was carrying and handling those items. Feel a certain reverence out of respect for those lost or fallen. Not all Germans were bad, not all 'Allied' troops were good. We're human, we're flawed, we make mistakes, huge mind boggling mistakes. Or just plain evil.

The badge is a Panzer Badge. As wikipedia says, this was awarded for: "recognizing the achievements of Panzer personnel who took part in armoured assaults". Very nice find!

Europe is so old that there is no telling what is still to be found. You have lots of eras of time to metal detect. Great finds.

4:47 that looks like one of those things from a tank track

I am so fascinated by your finds, I wish you the best in finds so you can share with us more history. Thank-you.

I know im late but what an incredible find, this video alone has got me so interested in old war memorabilia and the history with it. Thanks for sharing 👍

With metal detecting it’s patience, patience, patience and the rewards will come! Great find!

AND WOW! that knife is awesome! prob had a wooden handle... but that medal is an incredible find!

That's what you get for using stainless steel 7:10

i love how happy you are with your find ! congrats

i love how the comments section is so peaceful,helpful, interesting and friendly!!!😀😀😀😀

Imagine the journey that Norwegian 10 øre coin had, ending up in a battlefield in berlin. Thats really cool

I've only metaldetected twice, adn one time i found a gate for a oven from the 18-hundreds

That Panzer Tank badge is beautiful

Mike your videos are AWESOME!!!!....it is so cool that you are saving history.....Best of luck to you in the future for your detecting...

Don't clean your finds with a toothbrush - you'll ruin them. That tank assault badge is already partly corroded and the brush might take off more of the original material. Take them home and wash with hot soapy water

That is an awesome metal. I have never seen one like that and with the pin still on it. Good for you ! Keep up the good work. Congrats again.

You make me want to pull out my medal detector and start searching again.

Awesome finds! I hope you decide to post more videos. Excellent style and you make me laugh like mad. GL & HH to you!

Great! I also found the panzer assault badge. But on a trip to Russia =) My best find so far. It was undamaged with the pin intakt.

Found this channel because I can't sleep and I'm happy about it. very interesting videos, keep on digging new sub :)

Nice finds! The photo roll you found, looks exactly like the Agfa Isolette rolls I have at the moment. I saw a video where a photo developer found WWII rolls and got them developed, so if you still have 'm and kept 'm at a dark place, some developer may get some pictures out of it (because it stayed all those years underground)

"This is, BEEP, great!." Lol, this is how i get when I come across a rare antique at a thrift store. Already hooked on your vids!

Checking all your older videos. Love the tank badge congrats from the US.

That small handle you found is the kick start for the german motorcycle, hope you kept it, you won't find another one in that good of condition

Nice "Panzerkampfabzeichen" Greeting Team Dosenbier

That Norwegian coin is interesting. Perhaps from a soldier in the SS Wiking division?

Very nice Panzer badge! I really like this your find !

Super nice find bro ! : )

Congratulations!!!l

i'm from N.C U.S.A,i have found SEVERAL revolutionary cannon balls about 2 miles from my house,i've been to the local library and traced the battle threw my area.i'm roughly 10 miles from a major battle in Kings Mountain.it's pretty neat!

How quickly a hunt can turn good. GL & HH & Have fun

For one german you have good english akcent. Good find!

lmaoo "you don't wanna know" after you tell us. hilarious. greetings from Los Angeles. you make me wanna go hunting for treasure!!!

Fascinating stuff, man. Nice.

put a nice deer antler handle on that knife its a sweet find..:)!

That medal is probably like 700 euros and in the us it's probably like 1400 dollars because its rarer

Very amazing video well done and I love listening to your videos as I am blind and I am a white cane long cane user

at 5.03 that looks like a 30mm armour piercing round, not a grenade or explosive, the copper ring is there to bite into the rifling of the barrel that fired it, as the metal used for the rest of the projectile is too hard to bite the rifling, usually tungsten, but i would suspect tungsten was too hard to come by at that point in the war!

Hey there amazing video. I found a panzerkampfabzeichen in silver in one of my videos to. Keep up the nice videos

6:48 looks like a coat protector for the back wheel on a bicycle. maybe a motorcycle. Groetjes !

That's an incredible find!

I love these video's

And i got myself... a handle... yeah uh idk....a handle...

Haaaa your glove gave me the finger....u guys are great!

just found your channel and watched all the videos, extremely interesting stuff, keep up the good work!

Leuke filmpjes! Geeft me zin om ook te gaan zoeken :P Proficiat met die coole vondst!

Guy I enjoy your channel and the history you find. I know I will never be able to join you guys. Money will never let me. I am a fan of tanks, if you find something that are tank related. Maybe you could send me something? Thanks you for your time

I really want that badge! 🤤🤤🤤. I'm interested in WWII and badges are my favorite. Also coins

ik hoorde het al meteen. je bent mede-Nederlander!

5:02 You probably could have kept that... I may be wrong about the caliber but I believe that is a 37mm armor piercing tank shell... It looks like it was already fired so it's not dangerous. In fact, it looks like the gunner missed what he was shooting at, since it doesn't look deformed as if it actually made contact with a tank's armor. Lots of light to medium tanks used that caliber for their main guns in WW2.

The large shell with the rifled groves in it was likely a 20 or 30mm shell from a tank or field gun. probably 20mm used on many many vehicles it could literally be any number of vehicles or something similar.

What a beauty!

that was an amazing find! well done!

Call me crazy, but I would have kept the unexploded grenade. In the shed, but I still would have kept it.

Your extremely likeable. I enjoy metal detection also. I hit 1st video by accident now I see why this could be addicting!

Really enjoy your videos bro. Keep em coming

Great videos enjoyed watching them

Awesome! Funny comments too. Great job and good English.

good camera! showed the tick great even that small!

3 years ago ther was a garbage container in my village and i looket at it and searched for some things and find the exact same thing

This is a very unique channel, keep up the great work. You earned yourself a nice shiny sub! :)

your videos are so interesting! keep doing what your doing!

That badge cleaned up nicely

what a great find, it would seem that someone was separated from their coat. do you ever come across live munitions?

Was weer een top dag zo te zien ...😎💪

I think the large item at 5:00, goes to a suspension cap of a coil spring to something mechanized.

it's so satisfying how you could still find this stuff ready scary

panzerkampfabzeichen mooie onderscheiding gevonden...ben jaloers

Like your videos. Keep up the good work

Hi your the best metal detector and your a good influence on me since I'm a youngster metal dectear

I would of definitely take undeveloped film to a special lab.

The things you find could be off of dead body's. Nothing left of them but the metal they had on them. Great finds. Where are yall at.

Congrats! I’ve been wanting to buy a panzer badge for a while but you have to be careful of fakes, yours came from the ground so u know it’s real! Haha

Mike it looks like when you dig there is lot of ASH in the dirt.....

What happens if German authorities find you with such items such as the german Panzer medal? I hear they are strict about that kind of stuff.

OMG, you have the best channel!! I am such a huge WWII history buff and would LOVE to go find relics like this! My grandfather was a German translator for the US and he brought back a bunch of Nazi stuff, one of which is similar to the badge you found on this video! I have a big box of swastika items, iron crosses, a map to Hitler's camps, bullets, etc. etc. Do you keep pictures of your findings all cleaned up for people to see? If so, please let me know where to find them... I would love to see if I have duplicates of anything!! So glad I stumbled upon your channel!! Hugs, from Mesa, AZ (family is from Alsace Lorraine & other parts of Germany)

No way Der Mutter's Kreuze or the Tank killer( engagement) badge came out of the ground. I have one in gold, My best award is an 8 yr S.S. service award+ Luftwaffe silver wing's!

8:26 isnt that a peg that you hit with a hammer when holding over a sheet of metal to dent it? like denting letters on to metal.

What?? A norwegian 10 øre coin in Berlin?! :)

Saludos desde Argentina amigos,muy buenos videos

Prachtige vondsten! Maar pas op voor oude landmijnen.

That tick is creepy. Good call to be careful.

Nice find with the panzerabzeichen. Probably a bronze grade.

Dude please let me help u I'll go all day and all night I'll buy the alcohol! Let's make this a search party!!

That one thing that is "dangerous" was an apcr progectile , just a wierd shaped peice of metal that can penitrate armour

Nice best find!! Great! Greetings Dutch-Diggers

+1 and subscribe friend, good videos ! Welcome to my Canada in WWII - work in 1944. 6 the German army.

i have to go out there and look around i’m taking a trip to germany next summer

4:59 At first I thought it was a turd :X

The projectile (@ 5 minute mark) looks like a Panzerbuchse 41 projectile, which is a squeeze bore. If so, that's pretty rare.

I want an update on the suspected camera film. Get it to experts and see if the photos can be recovered!
