World War 2 Relic hunting on English WW2 airbase

[mrtalkischeap]

Found a few War relics myself, found a 20mm bullet in my local playing field which is just across to road basically and was all intact still, no idea how it got there mind you, at an old WW2 airfield I found a harness release (They flew Westland Lysanders from here and there were a few crashes and I think this could of been from the crash site) and the usual Home Guard items from some near by fields like grenade parts and .303 shells.

@staffsmole

Of course. I never search a site without first obtaining the land owners permission.

@ww2relichunter

Thankyou....!

I was just a bit worried, that's all.

@headbanger6661990

De kans dat je op een s Mine terecht komt is heel klein.

Het is de bedoeling dat je van de zijkant naar binnen graaft tijdens het zoeken

zodat je niet snel op de ontsteking van een mijn terecht komt.

Je graaft nooit direct bovenop het signaal van de metaaldetector.

Je kunt trouwens veel info op Google vinden over het Westerse front. Ligt er ook aan welke regio('s).

cheers,

De kans dat je op een S mine terecht komt is erg klein.

De meer ervaren zoekers graven ook nooit bovenop het signaal waardoor de kans klein is dat je op de ontsteking van zoiets komt.

Er zitten nu eenmaal wel risico's aan deze hobby.

Info over het Westerse front kun je genoeg op Google vinden.

i dream of this stuff im 11 and my grandpa passed away a while back and he was in ww2 i loved ww2 since i was like 7 or 8 and want to do this stuff so bad!

[ww2relichunter]

I am sorry to hear your grandpa died.

I am sure that you will soon be out there, looking for relics :)

[popsnacks2]

thanks man you give me lots to look forward to! goodluck on future hunts and be careful of LIVE explosives!

[raspberrybaggio]

@popsnacks2 Get a paper round and save up for a Metal Detector !

[popsnacks2]

@raspberrybaggio i found the jackpot. at my local army/navy store i meet the owner and he offered a bounty hunter 4 to me for 150 bucks! not bad considering he said it was like 500 when he bought it!

[raspberrybaggio]

@popsnacks2 That's awesome. Good hunting mate !

[Ideal9]

Hey Popsnacks I remember when I was your age and I always was into Military history, my grandfather also passed away some years later and he was also in ww2. I am now 20 and I still am very interested in ww2 history... although I dont play with my GI Joes anymore. I have gone on an archaeology dig. Follow your dreams.

[popsnacks2]

@Ideal9 wow thanks man! already got my bounty hunter tracker 4 and am already digging up and practicing the art of metal detecting. many of these videos inspired my new hobby! cant wait till i can go big and relic hunting!

[zachman876]

@popsnacks2 i am 13 and i do this kind of thing. its fun and you learn a lot too

[popsnacks2]

@zachman876 im 13 now to lol although this was a year ago and i have a early birthday . i also got a metal detector for my 13th bday and have fdound mostly junk but i did dig up a really old european Euro!

[zachman876]

@popsnacks2 cool... where do you hunt to? I am in south - western England. the best I've found is a 1861 half penny...

[Rsix30]

i found a few war relics from old camps, i dont like digging rusty old cartridge shells though, i wouldnt spend 30 seconds digging em let alone 30 mins, nice work though

[whitenorthstar]

Very good vids! I'm metal detecting over 30 years myself and have some lovely finds, I really enjoy digging up old war relics like yourself, When you think of all the pleasure/exercise/history/meta­lurgy/fresh air etc you learn/get from this hobby not to mention the detector pays for itself in coins etc in no time or if your very lucky one find like me on several ocassions! Fantastic hobby! Thanks again for the vids and good luck.

[banneradders]

great haul. i purchased a detector last week as i live on what use to be an RAF base in Lincoln. gave it an hour this morning and found several objects including shells. happy hunting

[SONOR4]

Nice work.

I have metal detected several old airfields, and have uncovered much the same a you. The results are available to see on the website Disused Airfields of Yorkshire and the East Midlands.

The trouble is, for the last two years every land owner I have written to, asking for permission to detect on their disused airfield have said no. Even when I offer to pay!! I'll keep trying. Keep up the great work.

[atlas122155]

nice finds i found a 20mm on climping beach just south of ford airfield i have found a lot of stuff on the shouth downs such as 2.3 and4inch morter fins and over a 1000. 303 ronds .

[cessnaoneeightytwo]

are those .303 rounds you dug?

[elibaba7]

I have a garret ace 250 :) going to estern europe this summer to hunt for treasure !

[tipmaster]

@elibaba7 i also have garret ace 250, i live in arnhem and i got a big ww2 collection now. first i doubted buying it but i gotta say it works pretty good and goes deep.

[elibaba7]

[tipmaster]

[elibaba7]

$60 plus 20 shipping

[r33skyline4life]

[stuthedigger]

[waffenss088]

Not bad finds, but if you want to find more you should try on the Eastern countries to search a ww2 stuff. 5*****

[ryannlag]
