This WW2 metaldetecting video has it all, bombs, medals, plane parts and a giveaway. 

My uncle made it as far as the Ardennes from Normandy with the US 1st Army. A SS division (probably 21st) overran his position after they were recovering from the Hurtgen forest battles. He said you knew when you were up against the SS. They shelled the trees above his position in the forest, shrapnel and splinters coming down from the airbursts above. He and his foxhole mate were the only survivors of his platoon and both were badly wounded, ending their war in an English hospital. He was terrified and freezing and spoke little about it. The odds of getting from Normandy to the end of the war in a combat unit on your feet was very small, I've heard 2-3%. Re: Tunisian coin: The US 1st Army started in the North Africa campaign (Morocco & Tunisia). No other US unit was at both Tunisia and Ardennes, I believe. Of course, the Afrika Korps was in Tunisia, too, as well as the Free French. How close was his position to the area you covered? What horror and terror was taking place when these objects last saw light?

I really appreciate you putting the English subtitles

Sheepshead Bay NY was once home to the world’s largest WWII era United States Maritime Service training station , Probably the person using that US tag was in charge of the supply lines

My mother was an antique dealer. Old vintage bottles and jars can be worth a fortune to collectors. In the 1st half of the 20th century farmers in the USA would dump them on their property. Decades later a lucky finder could stumble upon a gold mine if he knew that fact

i just recently started watching your videos. I've always been a huge WW2 history junkie. Your videos are amazing. Im surprised by every video from the stuff you find in these places. Im from the US and you will not find the mass amount of preserved WW2 artifacts in such amazing condition here. Its really cool to see how much stuff is just left untouched.

United States. Maritime Service. Training Station. Sheepshead bay, New York. Opened late 1942, and closed early 1954. Great find. Love you brother, keep those finds coming!! Take care!

Awesome finds and purchases, Mike! Congrats on 24K subscribers!

Wonderful trip Mike. Get In!

Not only do I like your down to earth approach speaking to us but you share both the good and bad finds (the Whoopies and oh well just another) This was a great video. Love that you're back online and PLEASE continue on with your metal detecting my friend.

Wow!!! You're a lucky one😃 So amazing finds!!! I wish i'd find only one of them. Very nice video👍

Toffe vondsten Mike! :) Altijd leuk om een video van je te zien

wow,that's to bad about that guy not letting you video his collection, from the looks of the stuff you got from him it was high quality and in great shape. my grandfather and great uncle were both in ww2. my uncle was in the European theater,my grandfather in the Pacific,they both brought home tons of battle trophies.uncle even had a 250 lb bomb hanging from the rafters in his garage! they both passed away and I haven't seen the collection since I was a child back in the 1970s.thanks for sharing your finds with us.i lived in Stuttgart in the 70s as a kinder and also remember farms by the acres,i also remember falling into some freshly manured fields when we moved off of the road to let a tractor pass by,lol! I still get nostalgic when I smell fresh manure.lol! ☆☆☆

Great videos...keep them coming...they are full of information, even for a war buff like myself Aussie Paul

Yay, Mike is back !

That Birdsong is so beautiful................Blessings....................

Hey Mike and your gang greetings from England stumbled on your posts/ videos have subscribed keep them coming love them and having your son there who has a passion aswell reminds me of my father and i going round old American airfields in england over 40 years ago still have the bits we found

Very interesting videos, informative, I have a Daily Sun newspaper printed on 23 July 1944, got it when i was in England. I very much enjoy watching what you find. Hope you find some more items and hopefully some will be in very good condition for you.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this already, but the dial you found among the luftwaffe stuff appeared to say Siemens on it. They were large suppliers of good during the war and even had factories in concentration camps such as Auschwitz. It’s amazing when you find something made by a company that still exists today which was a big part of the Axis during WWII. Fascinating really!

Neugierig und mit intuitivem Interesse - danke!

Just got yourself a new subscriber. Liking the videos buddy keep it up.

Very very beautiful the cross of 11 armata! Is a very good finding! By to the Italy👍👌👌👌👌

Great finds Mike. Something a little different for me to see. I like your video. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*

The US medal was a maritime training metal from New York. Awarded after completing training

In case somebody hasn't posted this here already,,,,the medallion from NY is the United States Maritime Service Training Station (U.S.M.S.T.S.) at Sheepshead Bay NY. It was opened on September 1, 1942. It closed on February 28, 1954.

Que increíble todo lo que encontras. Saludos de Argentina

Finally another video! 😁 heck yeah

9:30 not a bomb, artillery shells. You can tell by the rifling ring around the base.

Love this guy

Awesome awesome finds mike 😀😀😀

Wonderful finds. So cool!

I’d love an Iron Mike Camo Cap.

Great video!

i died when he said "somebody forgot his bomb " 😂😂😂

Really cool finds

Good hunting great finds

Wow pretty cool findings 👌

Like it a lot!!

Additionally, there are (3) medals whose dates are unknown. Included among these are: U.S.M.S.T.S. sterling silver medal with "Sheepshead Bay N.Y." in raised characters on the front; and (2) more medals and a boxer charm with no engravings or content indicators.

I'm new to your channel but you are awesome thank you for the information

I love your videos! I can’t wait till I get a metal detector and I’m gonna try and do what you do, I just gotta be careful for them bombs haha

thanks for speaking English, which you speak well really cool seeing all the ww2 stuff...

Cool video and congrats

Very nice finds...keep going ;) Greets, IG

That one coin that's oblong is normally a souvenir you place a penny in a machine and it flattens out the coin and stamps a logo on it. They're still in use at some tourist sites

Did you get the dog tag back to the family of the soldier

Are any of the knives you bought still available? Also wondering if the medals you bought are still available for purchase as well. Thank you and love your channel!!!!!!

Hey, I just have a question because I’m curious. Do you often find bones or skeletons when searching?

No way that could be original Kriegsmarine submarine icon. Those are way way to rare. It’s still beautiful and I love your vids. I have never subscribed to a channel before so you are my first.

Its crazy how that stuff is just lying around

Very nice find my Dad at one time had a dagger & a Reisepass or passport of German WWII solder which had two passports I forget in German what they call it sold them to some collected long time ago he also had a helmet it was The heer or luftwaffe which is sold also!

Thanks for the reminder. I just joined again. Must have messed something up the first time.

Good trip for get medal of honour ww2,nice video and good luck mate,god bless u

Nice finds indeed, in 2 years time I'd like to see if I could get to Berlin aswell and do some detecting. For the giveaway, too bad I don't use facebook :D

I'm just now watching this video, really cool. Almost looks like at the 13 minute mark you all found an airplane crash site. With all the plane parts you were digging up

At 4 mins...U.S.M.S.T.S. Unites states Maritime Service Training School, located at Sheepshead bay NY, they trained Merchant Marine sailors for service on cargo ships during WW2. The Sheepshead bay school closed in 1954, and all maritime trining for the Merchant marine moved to the Merchant Marine academy, in Kings Point NY.

The USMSTS medal is fro the Maritime Training Station in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. Merchant sailor would go there.

Look at those ww2 badges oooooeeeeeewwwwwww!!!

the sounds of the birds at 22:00

Nice Hunt Mike :) From thursday again on my channel. POW Camp finds 2018, part 9 :). This time with an award that you do not find every day. Gruß Michael

So if you’re finding a bunch a plane parts do you think there could be a wreckage somewhere under the dirt seems a little odd for random parts to show up in the Forrest

Sheep's head bay new York (Brooklyn new york)The United States Maritime Service Training Station at Sheepshead Bay was ... The station was the largest maritime training station during World War II

Hello, Good Mike 🇦🇷 lm fron Argentina 👌.

Hey Mike leuke video weer, met een aantal mooie vondsten. Zoek zelf naar ook al tien jaar naar militeria, lijkt het je wat om een keer samen te zoeken? Mvg 👍👍

Hey, First of all you make great video's. I'm fisiting Berlin right now and I was wondering what are the forests locations u search at? (Names are good enough) I really hope you can help me out! Keep the good work going @Iron Mike Metaldetecting

Sheepshead Bay Maritime Service Training Station opened in 1942 closed in 1954

do you report the dog tags to find out about the soldiers?

You still happend to got that belt buckle 18:11 ? Would be interested.

Hi. I’m a new subbie so forgive me if you have answered this question before but the Id tags do you try to find their families ? I was just wondering if maybe they were listed as MIA and maybe the families would like it. Thanks

I live near sheepshead Bay.

Nice intro

Do you still have any of your finds for sale?

the marking on the little medal coin on 7:38 me thinks is the same as the switch made by siemsn on 11:36?

3:12 is a us maritime service training station badge part of the us coast guard

Subbed!!!

I think the oval silver looking item with the monogram is half of a cuff link.
