(splashing water) Oh, the wooden handle is still there. Let's see if you can get it to the side. (suspenseful rhythmic music) Looks like it's opened. It's a brand new day. We decided to return to the lake that previously resulted in finding some interesting pieces of WWII history. And we're really curious if there are more secrets to be revealed. So, we're gonna give it another go. This time, I brought some reinforcements. We've got a very new telescopic stick from Magnetar. And that actually fits perfect with the Terror magnet, right there. So, we're gonna set that up, give it a go. Basically, it really is plug and play. Got a quite decent signal here, let's pinpoint it. (alarm goes off) I'd say, somewhere about here. Let's get the magnet. All right. Feels very heavy. It's a very big object. It's very stuck in mud. But the magnet is stuck as well, right? Yeah. We've literally been struggling, for 45 minutes maybe, to get this big object out of the water. It's loose right now. Let's get it out, if you can. Oh, man! (laughs) Well, that definitely looks like an ammo box. Let's see if you can get it to the side. Ah, the wooden handle is still there. (water splashing) It looks amazing still. Really glad we finally got it out. (water splashing) Yeah, let's see if there's still something in it. This video is sponsored by Wargaming. I have played many war games, but there is nothing quite like World of Tanks. It's a free-to-play game, which let's you take control of a tank and destroy enemy vehicles. All tanks are recreated with surgical precision. If you wanna drive an iconic World of Tank, like the Hetzer or Tiger, register now, by clicking the link in the video description, using this special code, Tanktastic. If you're a new player, this code will give you a headstart, with the T-127 Tank, 500 gold, and seven days premium. Give it a try. (splashing water) Man! Can you still open it? Think it falls apart if I do. Well, you can still try, I guess. There's so much mud in it. It's another Flak 3.7 cm ammo box. I'm wondering how many there are here, in the water. (splashing water) Believe it or not, guys, but this is gonna be number four. Let's see if I can lift it. (water splashing) Nice, man! Yeah, the condition of these boxes is not great, but they are all great pieces of history, in my opinion. (water splashing) Is the wooden handle still there? I think it's gone. Yeah, it's ripped. I think we came across at least two more boxes, but it's just so heavy and deep, that we couldn't really get them out anymore. But we just had another signal here. And this is not such a big object. So, I don't know. Maybe we can do sort of a live... Let's call it a live dig. It's not really digging, but let's see what you got there. Looks like an exploded shell. Let's see if I can get it off. Wow! I think that's from a Flak 3.7 centimeter casing, from the boxes that we found. It's the ammunition that... Oh, man! (splashing water) It has markings, I think. I think it's says 1940. 1940, yeah. On the top. We should give it a clean. I'll get back to you later on, with a closeup. (alarm goes off) Got a very clear signal here. Quite high, 85, 86. Let's see what that is. It's buzzing, isn't it? Yeah. We're using the Xpointer here. It's a waterproof pinpointer. And it appears to be very handy for this type of activity. Tiny pinpointer found a big object. Yeah? Is there any shape to it? This. Ah, yeah, we found this before. It's a pressure plate of a French anti-tank mine. Interesting how many similar things we find in this lake. (alarm goes off) Got another good signal here. What does it say? Oh, 95! That's high. Let's see if I can pinpoint it. (alarm goes off) Right, grab the magnet. Let's see if we can find it. Do you feel something? Oh, that's very clear. It's stuck, I think. Is it heavy, is it loose? What can we expect? Yeah, it feels quite heavy. It feels... Yeah, I got it. (laughs) Oh, my god, man! Holy f*ck, man. That's... Look how shiny it is. That's again, a Flak 3.7 centimeter. But this one's unfired and really in an untouched condition. (water splashes) This is just typical for water finds. Here, it even says 3.7 cm Flak. P152 1939. Oh, man. I really can't believe this. It even has some markings in the drive band. Let me just give you that close up of the back stamp. Here it says, 1939... 3.7 centimeter... Flak 18. So clearly readable. There you can see the German eagle. Right, we got another good signal here. You think you have it? Yes. (laughs) You have an idea what it is? Yeah. (laughs) Think I know what it is. The second one. It's again, a Flak 3.7 cm shell. Again, in an amazing condition. 1939, again. (water splashes) Awesome. Look at these two beauties. Really is a shame that they are still live. Yeah, we're gonna have to leave this behind, call the bomb squad later on. They will take care of this. Keep it underwater. Yeah, definitely. Don't want to expose it to oxygen too much, just to be safe. (dramatic classical music) (blazing guns) (explosions) I got into contact with the Dutch WW2MagnetHunters. And we decided to meet up. So, we're gonna do some more magnet fishing. This should be a great location. So, let's see if we can find some more stuff here. We just met up. And as you can see, one of the guys is already in the water. I'm gonna put on my dry suit and get in as well. Yeah, unfortunately, the water is quite deep here, so we really have to work hard for it. But that's part of the game, I guess. Right, I just wanted to show you two interesting relics that we just found. Or, well, let's say it's interesting that we found them because these are, I think, brass-- Yep. Copper-ish. It's brass. It doesn't stick to the magnet. That's why it's really important to have a waterproof pinpointer. And, yeah, like, also in the other ponds, we again found some shiny brass casings. Yeah, 75 millimeter. It's a Howitzer shell, probably. Yep, Howitzer. Yeah. Amazing condition. Yeah, absolutely. And that other thing, isn't that a 25 pounder protection cap? It's in a protection cap indeed, to protect the fuse on top of the shell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. It's a great find. Yeah, you only find this... (laughs) Yeah, with your feet or, yeah, with a pinpointer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, man! Well, you're not gonna believe this, but these guys pulled it off again. While I was fishing up bullet casings and stuff like that, one of these guys, from Dutch WW2MagnetHunters, pulled out another rifle, with the wood and everything still on it. It's a Mauser K98K rifle. Yep, it's in great condition, man. So, almost everything is there. Only the buttstock is missing? Yeah, yeah. And we also found this buttstock, but it's probably not from this K98k. I think this is from a Lee Enfield, actually. Yeah, well, research will probably point that out. But that's interesting though, a different buttstock. Yeah. It's a bit smaller, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do a nice closeup of this rifle. Is the.... The bolt is missing, as you can see. Yeah, and the sight is still here. Yeah, congratulations, man. (laughs) Thanks. (dramatic classical music) (blazing gunfire) I'm afraid this is it for today. It's already late. We're gonna go home. But it really was a productive day. Feel free to like and subscribe, if you haven't already. And also don't forget to check out our Instagram. Interested in World of Tanks?
