i love you videos i love world war 2 metal detecting even though i live in united sates i will i could go metal detecting in germany or somewhere where ww2 took place but we do not got the money to go to a country like that so could you possibly send me something my dad would love to see world war 2 thing i am not aloud to join chanell dad wont let me buy stuff on internet.Well love this channel!!!!

@janninecartwright8910 3 года назад

This has me in tears! My dad fought in the second world war and he told me about a forest he ended up in . He said the Germans were approaching and bombs were everywhere, he lost many friends but was saved by an American soldier who hid him. My dad was 16 years old, he stayed hidden for around 6 hours ! Unfortunately my dad found the American soldier lifeless. This man saved my dad's life by giving his own. My dad passed away 2 years ago I wish I'd known about your channel then! Keep up your amazing work & thank you for showing us.

@SilvercreekAnimations 3 года назад

I don't doubt you to much but this is the internet so if your dad fought in world war 2 at the age of 16 what age are you if this is true you are probably 60 or 70 and your profile picture leads me to think otherwise. Edit: if you are not lying and your profile picture really is you than me thinking that your not 60 or 70 than take that as a compliment

The 25 pdr.field gun was one of the best arty.pieces made, versatile, easy to set up, accurate, well made and delivered a punch. The type made with the muzzle break was the most accurate. Good find, happy hunting

You do a great job with your detail and knowledge along with showing videos of what you find. It separates your channel above the others. Most of all how respectful you are. An idea of another video, make a video of your most interesting finds. I’m sure you have a super interesting collection. And what you do with these pieces of history. Thanks.

@IrishTechnicalThinker 4 года назад

It's very haunting knowing that men were so attached to these objects and tools. I'm certain that some men before death, would cry out thinking nobody will remember me or find my kit. Only for it to be viewed by millions across the world. I respect you because you're essentially digging graves but with honor and respect for the dead. God bless.

@mikkel066h 4 года назад

I doubt the soldier would think of their kit before death. But it is highly likely that they had thoughts about being remembered.

Great video as always! We have just received a PI metal detector to go even deeper, hoping to make other excellent finds for our ww2 youtube channel. This weekend I will go up the mountain for about 2 hours because I think I found an WW2 anti-gas mask under some big trees. We hope to make excellent finds like yours! Greetings from Italy

Piles of clothing are often burned in place, after field hospital surgery etc. Or, more somber, body parts not enough to bury, still in clothing get burned. Think artillery strike. Not much left.
