- [Chris] Look at this, guys. Do you see something sticking out there? I see an original green camouflage color. Bear with me and we're going
to dig this one out together. Hey guys, today, we're
going to go on an adventure in the Market Garden area. I'm meeting up with World War II Unknown and also Ray from the Dutch
Relic Diggers is with us. Yeah, we have some foxholes in mind that we want to check out. So we're going to get out those
detectors and start digging. See you there. All right, I've been digging
here for quite a bit now. And first, I only had
some weak iron signals, but that signal has just
become a very high pitched one. So we could be onto something here. I'm gonna keep digging
and I'll keep you updated. All right, I've just hit some metal there. So let's see what that is. All right, some sort of can. Let's see if there's more. Well, I guess I got my answer. Let's keep on digging. Another iron object, tool, very rusted. I'm still working on this foxhole. It's getting deeper and deeper, probably well over a meter already. And all the way down there,
I had an iron signal. You can see it over there. I dug it out already. And here you can see it for yourself. Not much to see yet, but this is a live M1 Garand clip, unfired one, packed with eight rounds. I can already see that there's a black
dot on the bullet tips, which means these are
armor-piercing rounds. But unfortunately it's live, so we're not gonna take this with us. Also, I just noticed that there
are still some paper wrapped around this clip here, this here. Some parchment paper, could be some writing on there as well, but just look at all this. There's fricking rocks attached to it. But nevertheless, that's a very cool find. We're scouting a new area. You can see my buddies. There are metal detecting
in the back over there. And I just noticed this
very special dugout here. You can see the entry and it's
a bigger hole right there. And there was actually a
foxhole right next to it. Here, you can see how close the foxhole is to the bigger dugout. So I decided to excavate it a little bit and, I don't know, some
glass, some metal parts, some glass came out. I think this is actually Bakelite and there's for sure
more signals in the hole. I just discovered some rounds here, look at that. You see that gold color over there. Let me just get that out. That's rounds, and I believe
that these are German rounds. Here, check this out. It's quite a lot of them. So I'm definitely gonna
be excavating this foxhole a little bit further. That's a Mauser K98k stripper clip. It's four rounds still on them. All right, Ray, just confirmed that that ammo we found is German. And Ray also pointed out that this, well, I think it's a piece of Bakelite, but you can see these
lines in it, these grooves, and it's, like, roundish. We think it's from a LP Look how cool that is. So they might've played some music here and shot at some people, I guess. We found a second part of
this LP plate, some tubes. This is the lid of some glassware, some German glassware, very neat still. And I just spotted something non-metal. And some of you might recognize this I have found this before. In a previous video, when
I was on the Eastern Front, I found a dump pit full of these. This is actually a cap that went on the muzzle
end of a Mauser K98k rifle, German rifle. So this was to protect
the barrel basically. So that's a nice little find. Oh yeah, I found more of these LP plates and also a second of these
Mauser K98k protection caps. Quite a funny moment here just now. Ray said he found a silver spoon. But it isn't your usual spoon. Look how massive this thing is
and it weighs a ton as well. There are markings on it, right? - [Ray] Right there. - [Chris] 90, 90% silver? Who knows? - [Ray] I hope. - [Chris] (laughs) You can
always melt this, you know, and get a paycheck from it. Nice find, guess they had
some soups in this forest, these soldiers. Me and Ray discovered some foxholes. Perhaps you can see some of them. There's one there, also one back there. And we are digging in one right here. And I did get quite some iron signals. So we decided to just start digging. And the first item to pop
up is an American find. This is a heater element for soldiers to eat
soup, like a soup heater. They would put this in a can of soup and they would light the candle here, and yeah, soup would get warm. They could eat it. So far, we've only found some
of those U.S. soup rations, still more signals there though. These four soup heaters we dug up already. They're still unused. Do you want to get your hands on exclusive World War II artifacts and support us while you're at it? Experience the history that

but we're back at it. World War II Artifacts
also joined the game We are at a new location
that we're going to try out. So without further ado, let's get going. Ray called me over. He had a huge object in his hands. Jezus man, what is that, a gas burner? - [Ray] I think so, some kind of burner. - [Chris] Wow, this part
here looks really old. What's that brass? Could easily be from the Second World War. I don't recognize it immediately. I've never found something
like that before but, oh there's some writing on there too, Barthel it says. Well, maybe somebody recognized this. But we're gonna do some research for sure. And if it's something cool, then I'll definitely let you know. This German gas burner was
used to heat up essential parts of motorized armored
vehicles in cold conditions. They were mostly used in winter campaigns. The guys from World War II
Artifacts just had a hit, a Flak shell casing, I think 37 millimeters, right? - [Jeff] Yes, it is. - [Chris] Anti-aircraft, we
found these before in the past. Also, this is an an iron
version, but still very cool. So I bet this is not the
only shell casing (laughs) and that's gonna be here so let's see if you can find some more. Okay, so that was indeed definitely not the only Flak shell casing that was buried here. Here's yet another one. And I don't think we're done yet. That's the sound we wanna hear. Yes, there we go. Let's hope there's going to be
some brass ones in there too. Nice. - [Jeff] There's another one. - [Chris] Yeah, well then surely they must've had some gun here, some gun emplacement here. Nice, yeah, unfortunately
they're all iron, but four pieces already. Nice job. The 3.7 centimeter Flak is a fully-automatic anti-aircraft cannon with a firing rate of
80 rounds per minute. They were used for both aerial
defense and ground support. Operation of the gun required a crew of six to seven soldiers. Aircrafts could effectively be down up to a height of about four kilometers. It was put into practice in 1936 and used until the end of the war. Jeff from World War II Artifacts is working on quite a deep hole here. He called me over. He said he had a deep iron signal or well, at least there
were a lot of iron parts. And he already dug this out. And we believe that
this is a helmet liner. So this would have been round and it would have been placed on the inner side of the helmet. And you can see two
leather parts sticking out. So yeah, we really hope that the helmet is gonna
be also in that hole. But I guess we're going to find out. I see that Jeff is digging
a little bit harder after just finding this. So I think we're going to see
soon if there's more in there. So we've already seen
another helmet liner part. It's sticking out somewhere over there. Yeah, right there. So yeah, we're not sure if there is gonna be a helmet in there or if it is, maybe it's in pieces. - [Jeff] Oh, look at this. - [Chris] Oh that, yeah,
isn't that the chin strap from a helmet? - [Jeff] I think so, yeah. - [Chris] Yeah, you guys see
the piece of leather there. I think that went under the chin. Let me get you down there. Here, that's the part I'm talking about in the middle of the screen. Wow, man I hope this helmet
is gonna be in one piece. It must be in there for sure. Is that a helmet part? - [Jeff] I think so. - [Chris] Oh man, no way. (laughs) Well- - [Jeff] So sad that it's broken. - [Chris] Yeah, it's beat up for sure. Let's see if we can save
some of those parts. Maybe there's markings on there. - [Jeff] So I think it is. I'm not completely sure of it. Looks like it.
- Wow. Well, maybe there is a second
one in a better condition down there.
(Jeff laughs) Well, this helmet has
definitely seen better times. We actually believe that it could be a
British paratrooper helmet because the leather part is super similar. Wow, that would be a really
cool find, man. (laughs) - [Jeff] Could really be. - [Chris] Wow, I've
never seen that before. That's for sure. The British Airborne Forces
consisted of parachute troops and gliderborne troops
of all arms of service. These forces consisted of a variety of parachute
and airlanding regimens. The early British paratrooper helmets were first introduced in 1942. This type of helmet
was designed to be worn when jumping out of a plane, meaning the helmet had a tight fit to make sure they don't come off. To make the helmet even more secure, the chin strap was designed to be a part of the leather liner. Jeff comes walking over very casually with a complete belt in his hands and I think this buckle is
a British webbing buckle. I'm not sure what belt exactly. But yeah, that's a cool relic. Ray just found this
British two-inch mortar piece of ammunition. Yeah, as you can see the
paint is still on there. There's a red Stripe. I'm not sure what type that indicated. But it's green with a red line here. So it's preserved really well. But yeah, I mean,
ammunition unfortunately, so we're going to mark the location and we're trying to do our job to make the woods a safer place. So we will report this and the woods will be a bit safer again. Well we were almost at
the point of giving up and we actually just put
our stuff right here. We thought let's move one more time. And I had a signal right over there where you can see my shovel. It was a 66 signal. And I thought that that
was quite promising. And I think I wasn't wrong. Look at this guys. Let me see over there. Do you see something sticking out there? All right, let me just get you down there. The sun is actually shining nicely on it. You see this here, can't miss that. I see an original green camouflage color. Bear with me and we're gonna
dig this one out together. Whoa, look at that. I can for sure get it out already. But I mean, look at those
original green colors. I think this one is in
really nice condition. Let's get this off. Shall we get it out? Oh, this must be one
of the nicest canteens that I've found so far. I found one of those green
ones which are British. You also had blue ones,
those were Canadian. I have one of both. But this is the prettiest one for sure. Wow, let me get my brush. Right, let's save the coordinates and look carefully around this area because there must be more I'm sure. Well, we got ourselves a
small mystery box over there. Let me just get it, just dug this out. And I don't know, it's a small box. And it almost looks
like there's a key hole on the bottom here. And here you could lift
it up with your finger. I'm not sure if there's something in it, but definitely looks like a WW2 item. So let's open it up later
on and see what it is. It turns out that this is
a British-marked razor box. Well, that's that. Yeah, it was a really cool
day in the Market Garden area. I had a lot of fun with my friends. And I want to say thank you
