How great that the thumbnail has the " * UNBELIEVABLE * " label on it, that way we know that what is seen in this video is unbelievable, in clear contrast to all other videos that do not have that label, and therefore, clearly, are not unbelievable.

We just had a very long drive deep into Germany. During the last months of the war, harsh fighting took place here. The Germans have been camping out here in this forest for quite a while. I'm joined by the Dutch Relic Diggers. Two Danish friends of mine are gonna join in as well, WW2RevivalDenmark. Let's do some detecting. It's right there, right? This looks a bit like stainless steel and there is some leather there. Maybe it's from a German Y-strap, the belt that they had running over their shoulders, over their backs. And this would be a part of it. Oh, wait a minute. There is... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, okay. Okay, get this close up. I think it's actually the German Y-Strap. There is a brand in here, a name and it has a year. And does it say 1939? I think it does. There, right there. Standard piece of equipment. And marked, as the German's usually did with almost all of their stuff. They really liked to put an eagle on almost everything. Found something right here. Looks like a drinking cup, and yeah, the German soldiers were here for quite a while. So it could be that they were, you know, sitting here, resting, drinking, eating. I do see some remains of a buckle here, and this could actually be a German drinking cup. This drinking cup was used in combination with the German canteen. Right next to where Ray just found that German strap, he found a German coin. It's a 10 Reichspfennig. And the German eagle with swastika is actually very clearly readable. I can't make out the year just now, but it should be somewhere over here. As you might've noticed, I'm wearing my very own merchandise. I have developed a bunch of exclusive products to perform any outdoor activity in style. Soon you can order the merch via my very own website, which I'm also working hard on. Leave a comment down below to let me know what you think. You wanna tell us what you think we got here, Jerry? - Well, this seems very clear. This is a toothpaste tube. Let's see if we can slowly unroll it without breaking it. Yeah, usually if you unroll them, the condition can be quite nice still. Yeah, I do see lots of color there. You also found a small bottle. So it could be a dump pit. - Oh wow, it looks very nice actually. - I think that's the German toothpaste brand, Blendax. Can read it here still a little bit. Zahnpasta. It means toothpaste in German. It's quite nice. And there's some scrap metal there as well. - Yeah, I still haven't gotten it out yet. - Well, there was definitely more in there. Jerry just pulled out this, this bucket. They probably used this for cleaning purposes. I mean, we found some toothpaste here, so maybe they filled it with water and, you know, washed their face, brushed their teeth. I just found some German coffee ration. You can see it right here. It says Nescafe. I've found this before on the Eastern front a while ago. So I did recognize it immediately. So this was a standard piece of German food ration. You can see it says, Nescafe coffee extract. Nice one. Made by Nestle, as it says right here. All right, Ray just found something very cool over here. It's a small insignia I believe. It's a small eagle, or a seagull actually. It's from the Luftwaffe, the German air force. And they would wear this on their shoulders, on the shoulder boards. They could have had up to three of them on one shoulder board and there should be a pin also on the backside. There, you do see that here remains the two pins. So that's very a authentic find, man. Congrats. It's a very cool one. Personally never found this before so you beat me to it. I think we've really hit a hotspot right here. Right behind you, right there, is where Ray found this Luftwaffe eagle. And come on, let me show you something. Right here on the surface actually is a part of a German mess tin. And there are some markings on it, right? Did you notice-- No, it was difficult. - This is definitely part of German field equipment. There you go. What I wanna show you right now is actually over here. And I can already say, unfortunately, it's not in the best condition, but I just found something that I've never found before. And something that's actually quite cool. You can see something roundish over here. Any idea what it is? It's a German canteen. There are some holes in it and it's quite rotten, but it's quite a nice find. Let me see if I can give this a quick brush. There you go. German canteen. Nice one for the collection. Daniel just told me that he had something I should put on camera. You can see it right over here. I think it's a Heer belt buckle, Wehrmacht belt buckle. Am I right? - Yes, absolutely. - It's an iron one, but still you can make out this circle. It would have said, 'Gott mit uns', 'God with us'. Probably there would have been a German eagle on the inside. The strap would lock in here. Some clear features there. But I mean, they were also made from aluminum and obviously that would be in a better condition, but whether it's iron or not, it's a very cool find. So congrats on that one. - Thank you, man. - Right. We found something pretty cool. It's two items actually. This one, is a German... It's a buckle from the iconic German belt buckle. I think it was a combination of the belt buckle and this one and then the strap would run through it. It also has some markings there. Very cool buckle. And you probably recognize this find because yesterday we also found one of these. It's a shoulder pip badge from the Luftwaffe. So, congrats, man. The second one. Number two, yeah. - That's really amazing. I just found something. I flipped this over and I can see something over there. I think it's a German mess tin. Looks to be in pretty good condition. I think it's a part of the German Essgeschirr. The handle is missing. It's quite a cool find. It's number three. - Number three. - It's a good one with pin on it. - With the pin? That's the best one yet, man. Congrats. I don't know how you do it. That should make a nice overview photo. All right, I might've just found a German mess tin over here. Let's see if I can get this thing out. You can see it over here. Yes! Yes it is, guys. Look at this. There you go. German mess tin. It's definitely not in too bad condition. We decided to pack up and move to an area not far away, for some magnet fishing. The German army defended this area, but had to flee after a fight that took some hours. Driving through this area and seeing the vast amount of forest, I could not help but wonder how much history must still be out there. We just arrived at this beautiful pond and we're gonna do some magnet fishing here. I did some research and found out that quite some stuff went down here in the second world war. A lot of fighting. There was actually a German machine gun position right on the edge of this lake. So maybe they dumped some stuff here. I am actually already suited up, prepared to go in. So yeah, let's give it a try. Well, one of the first things that came up. It's quite a creepy find I would say. I'm not sure how old this thing is, but it's some sort of metal plate and they've stabbed out the faces. I'm not sure what the idea of that was, but something went on here at this pond, that's for sure. Right, let's do a reveal. Yeah, I've sort of forgot to put on my GoPro, but I'll show you the finds that we did in the last half hour right now. All right, check this out. We have a variety of casings. And look at the color, this is typical water condition. No rust, anything. This is a German Mauser K98k casing. This might be like a trench art thing because this originally was a casing as you can see. I think a German one, but they actually made a sinker off of this, like for fishing. So they might've actually been doing some fishing here. Some blown up casing. We also found one German Pfennig. Postwar, I think it's from 1950. And we found this beauty. It's a coin as you can see, but it has some sort of remains of a pin. And it was about an 80 signal and we found it with the pinpointer, the magnets did not pull this out of the water. So yeah, I'm really curious what type of coin exactly it is, but might have been a token of luck from a soldier. - If you flip it around, 1760. - Yeah, but that's too much of a new coin to be that old I think. - It looks too modern for a 1760 coin. - Yeah, when you find 1760 coins it's maybe a little misplaced. - This coin turned out to be a gold plated Austrian token of Maria Theresia. 1760 is a memorial date, which makes it difficult to determine exactly how old it is. However, these tokens are made for more than a hundred years. Therefore it's very plausible that this was a personal item from a soldier. Okay, the magnet is stuck right now. We have a very big iron object. It doesn't stick to the magnet or... - Yeah. - It does? But I mean you can't pull it out with the magnet? - No, it's stuck. - All right guys, we just found something huge. We're fearing that it's gonna be some ammunition, but at least let's have a look. Is that a Panzerschreck rocket? Well, I guess police is going to be busy this afternoon. I'm really surprised by how huge they are, man. I didn't know that they were that big. It's like half a meter. Well, let's leave it for now and mark the location and call the proper authorities, yeah. The Panzerschreck is a reloadable 88 millimeter anti-tank rocket launcher, which was put into service in Spring, 1944. The Germans actually stole the idea for the design from the American Bazooka, which they captured in Tunisia in 1943. The Panzerschreck could penetrate thicker armor than the Bazooka, as it fired a bigger caliber rocket. All right. We have a very deep iron signal here. I've been digging with my hands for a couple of minutes now. I think it's loose. Let's see what it is. It's again a Panzerschreck rocket head. A bakelite detonator on it. Yeah, this is tricky business, guys. I'm gonna keep it under water, put it with the other ones and we will make sure it's disposed off. So let's put this to the side carefully and move on. Look at what my Danish friends just pulled out. They also have a Panzerschreck rocket head and a K98k clip. You can see the condition is amazing. At least, the shell casings that is. Pretty good finds? Yeah Good location again, research that paid off. Don't miss out on Call of War. It's fully cross-platform, so you can play with the same account on PC or mobile.
