Right guys, we found a very big object here. This is going to be interesting. (dramatic music) (electronic music) We're back again in the Ardennes. This is a very iconic environment. A lot of stuff happened in the Second World War. And yeah, let's hope we're going to find some of that history. I'm just doing some digging here on the edge of this very neat foxhole. And you'll see some nice rock formation here. They used that for cover. And yeah, it's quite a big dugout. Probably, there were two or three men in here. And actually right there, in the back, there's more dugouts, more positions. So there's one. And there's also one directly behind it. (somber music) Well, I just wanted to give you a short update. I checked out this big foxhole. Two of these, I don't know, I think it's from a stove. These two plates came out. This one and that one. And nothing more but the dugout right next to it, I also got a lot of signals. And I just dug up, just give me a second. I just dug up my first signal here, and you might recognize what it is. It's an M1 Garand clip. It's broken in half but it's clearly one. And I think I have many more signals, so I really hope there's going to be more in here. (detector buzzing) (dramatic piano music) You see that? Those are two rifle rounds. American, fired by the M1 Garand, quite shiny still. I just had another iron signal. And right there, you can see something sticking out of the soil. So let's do this together. I thought this looked somewhat like a barrel. I'm talking about this part here. There's actually a plant growing through it. So yeah, let's see what this is. I guess there's no doubt about what it is. It's clearly is an axe. A small one. And I don't know, maybe it's a soldier's axe. I don't recognize it immediately, but I'm quite sure that we will find out what type of axe it is, and then I'll definitely let you know. (scratching) Yeah, there probably once was a wooden handle on this, it's clearly gone. But yeah, cool little find. (dramatic piano music) Again, in another foxhole, quite an interesting find. Kenny just called me over that he found something shiny, something silverish. He said he thought it was a coin. Yeah, it looked like a coin at first, but the back is actually not... It doesn't show anything? It doesn't show anything, so yeah. I don't know if you can see that. But it says, 'Ludovicus.' And I think that's actually like, that's Latin. But I don't think that this is a Roman coin. Hmm. The fact that this side doesn't show anything, it might be a, I don't know, a token of luck? Yeah. Like a holy pendant or something from a soldier. Well, it was in between some shell casings. I dropped them over there, so. Very interesting find between shell casings, so I'm not sure. (gentle music) There's many foxholes here. We're digging in one here right now. And yeah, some finds. Yeah, I think this is a M1 carbine casing. Yeah. Shot, and this is a-- American push-button? I think so, yeah. It's American, definitely. In the foxhole, that's promising. Quite high signal here. (buzzing) 82, 83. Let's see what it is. Paradise here to dig in that kind of dirt. Is it large? I don't know. Right guys, we've found a very big object here. And we're joking about it being a Nebelwerfer. (chuckling) But we're not sure about that. Right now we're doing our best to get it out but it's very deep. This is going to be interesting. (scraping) Yeah, I'd say that's about it. It looks heavy. (scraping) You think it could be from a Nebelwerfer? So you believe it's-- - A model but-- You believe it's one. Well, that's quite a cool find then. - It is. - Yeah, this is definitely one, you can see the small hole here. Yeah, you see. There is small holes all around. So that's German artillery, ant-personnel, right? Exactly, anti-everything, I think. Is it empty all the way through? Yeah, it's full of sand. And the top is not here, so. So yeah, it's a very heavy thing, that's for sure. (dramatic orchestral music) Thomas just shouted at me. He was here last time. He found a bunch of German mortar boxes, and I thought it might be worth showing you. It's still quite flexible, the joints still work. I think these could carry three mortars a piece, each box. And I think, yeah, here, look at this. This box still has the original paper inside. There's also a date there. I think it says, there, '1944.' It's from April, 1944. That's when these mortars were put in this box, and yeah, taken to the battlefield. It's amazing how intact this piece of paper is. Definitely has been conserved very well over the years. (slow piano music) I just dug this out. It's again an American find. Looks very nice, not in a too bad condition. It's another Barbasol shaving cream tube. And this one even looks quite filled. And yeah, let's give it a gentle brush. And you can clearly make out 'Barbasol.' It's like the number one shaving cream used by American soldiers during the Second World War, but this brand is actually still in use. You can still buy these products today. And yeah, this, I really, this condition really surprises me. It's totally readable, maybe it's even usable. It's like all full. Let's look at the back. 'Wash your face in the usual way' And then, 'with your favorite' 'facial soap.' (chuckles) My friends just called me over because they also found some interesting stuff. I believe that this is from a U.S. field radio. There should be some markings on it. I think I see that already also. This was definitely used for communication purposes. I just spotted out of the corner of my eye that I have a coin in my hand right here. So I called over my camerawoman, and yeah, let's do this together. Let's discover what type of coin it is. Probably, you can see it here already. It's like nickel maybe. I don't think it's silver. Really curious what type of coin it is. Should we give it a quick brush? It says, 'Deutsche' 'Reichspfennig.' And there's a year here. I think it says, '1910'. So it's even pre-World War I. It's quite an old coin, I wonder how it got here. Let's see what the other side says. It's a 25 Pfennig. That's pretty, really pretty coin. My buddy Kevin just shouted that they've found something interesting. They were talking about some pendants, some sort of jewelry. And yeah. So you found it separately from each other, basically. No, they were in the same area. Oh. - Within two meters - Yeah. from each other. So you tell me. There's quite some detail on it. It looks maybe older even then. - It has a nice patina. - Yeah. Greenish patina, so. Let's do a nice close-up. This was around the ring also. It broke off. Oh, I see the part of the ring. - Yeah, it's part of the ring. I don't know, man. I think it looks older than World War II. It doesn't look very military at all. No. But that's definitely cool find. Yeah, don't find that stuff a lot. - Nice bronze patina. - Yeah. Yeah, very nice. Guys, I can't believe this. I just ran three rounds through the forest to gather up everyone. I found something which got me very enthusiastic, very excited. I don't know if you can see already the object that I found. It's over there. Let me just give you a close-up. You see that? You see that glass? What do you think that is? A telescope or something? I already had a peek, so I already know what it is. Let's take this out carefully. (gentle music) Does that look like a pair of binoculars or am I crazy? Let's hope it's complete. Wow. It's complete, man! (man chuckling) That's a, yeah, World War II binoculars. I'm not immediately sure whether this is U.S.A. or German because I never found this before. But yeah, man, I am speechless right now. It really looks like it was dropped not too long ago. The glass is intact. The whole thing is intact. World War II binoculars. It's not that much to brush. It's quite clean already. (guns firing) We are really exhausted after climbing all these hills. But it was definitely worth the effort. I want to thank Tom. Our friend was a great guide in this area. We're going to take some rest, and prepare ourselves for the next trip to the Eastern Front.
