World War 2 AMAZING relics ! - ww2 relic hunt British Army Dump September 2011

[nance2uable]

why are you happy from that weird thing at 4:28

[ww2relichunter]

@nance2uable Because it is a muzzle booster from a Vickers Machine Gun. A very rare and unusual find. One of the best from the site !

[nance2uable]

@ww2relichunter alright nice finding!

[icemelongreen]

It sick to think all that stuff was new when they dumped it in there.

[robost]

Fun finds! I hope the undesireable junk went to the scap yard. Good to clean up the ground.

[ww2relichunter]

@robost It sure did :)

[isamtator]

Did they burn the place down, and leave all the munitions to rot?

[ww2relichunter]

@isamtator We have met one of the guys that worked at the base. Aparently they cut the weapons up into bits, set fire to them, then drove a bren carrier over them to crush them down. Thankfully it didn't destroy many of the items !

[isamtator]

@ww2relichunter Oh well the we we leave huge amounts of munitions in war zones, when its over, they say it cost more to bring it back than it does to make new, I say bring it back, because the enemy might, they just might learn how to use it.

[isamtator]

@isamtator Sorry for the bad grammar.

[isamtator]

I wish that you could have cleaned up the guns and fixed to make them fire again!

[gtfonow1]

do you know why the British army dumped that ammunition? in the Iraq war the US has explosive ordnance despoil teams that blow up enemy and very old and unsafe american munitions. i was wondering if it was the same for the British or maybe another reason

[ww2relichunter]

@gtfonow1 There is no live ammo at this dump. It is all either inspection or drill rounds.

[nance2uable]

plz tell me the name of the song! is it crossing the river kwal or somethin in that way? I cant find that on youtube only vids

[ww2relichunter]

@nance2uable The first one is called COlonel Bogey and is indeed from the Bridge on the River Kwai. The second is the theme from 633 Squadron. Search those names and you'll find them :)

[nance2uable]

@ww2relichunter hi, thanks for the song! I found him on youtube

grtz jelle (dutch)

[TheDrOctopus]

Very impressive :) really impressive that you managed to identify most of the parts too. Well done, good find :)

[ww2relichunter]

@TheDrOctopus Thanks :) It's as much fun trying to ID them as it is digging them !

[hanghoodiescum]

hi there is any of your vids done in the old burton wood air base warrington cheers man great vids

[ww2relichunter]

@hanghoodiescum

Thanks for the compliment :) No, none are at Burtonwood. I do know a couple of people who have searched it though and it is mainly full of modern trash. The best sites to dig are those a good distance from a big town, have no modern use except for farming and that were abandoned when the war finished. In my experience, anything else isn't worth searching.

Nice!!



[themainproblem]

Great production! Very well thought out.

Respect from Apache Junction, Arizona.

[NaplesSwampRat]

very cool finds. tetanus shots are good for 10 years anyway, so go bare handed

[evy0579]

You really should wear gloves and make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.  :)

[ww2relichunter]

@evy0579

I always do, (apart from the 5 second clip when I found the bren mag), and it is :) Thanks for your advice :) :)

[colletorww2]

Very nice finds this time too, but you did rape my ears at 04:35

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

Now that is recovering history! Great job! Hey Temerity Magazine your online Relic & Treasure magazine submission deadline for Nov. 1st issue is Oct. 20th. We would love to have you apart of it!

[1974sharks]

@ww2relichunter, lol, then it must be my speaker set :) Keep up the good work!

[1974sharks]

cool finds (but warn your viewers next time about the loud background music starting at 04:35 :) )

[ww2relichunter]

@1974sharks

Thanks :) BTW, the music isn't any louder than the music at the start !

[Bentley240]

Jumped out my chair when the music started, nice lot of finds there. Well done ladys.

[ww2relichunter]

@Bentley240
