Dug up WW2 Airborne Paratrooper Parachute Relics

[petey1952]

While a couple of items might be American, I suspect that the bulk of your findings are actually British. Is the dig site near the Arnhem bridge? The round disk quick release mechanisms, while presently used by the American Airborne , were only used by the British during WWII. In fact because the Americans used a much more complicated release device at that time, it caused many Paratroopers to drown during the Normandy drop!

[KnightOwl2006]

Where exactly did these digs take place?

[KnightOwl2006]

Fascinating video.

[A1BRICKKIE]

What a very interesting video fantastic sure envy you guys my grampa was in the 501st never met him nor did my dad

[alherchenreder]

Wow. Not only did you manage to find some really awesome stuff lol you cleaned and got em working. Finding a parachute?? Soo cool!

[TheBlimp888]

Amazing stuff.

[fredgertie]

Zoek je ook wel eens dieper onder zo'n helm (zonder "Cool" of "Mazzelaar" te zeggen) zodat je ook nog een identiteitsplaatje kunt vinden?

[RAPHAELDU33000]

Nicely preserved, most be the best time to feel ever grateful for finding these pieces. Very well done on the clean up on the parts and made it workable once again. I had to subscribe to you, made my day. Great damn job!

[oiusk]

Nice video guys!

If its not a secret how do you clean rusty metal things.

[GABRIEL506]

Damn! That boot looks like brand new after 70 years in ground, that leather is quality made by Corcoran :) I hope the soldier still lives. Good job.

[JDPublicEnemyNo1]

That parachute is extremely cool

[themainproblem]

Nicely done Dutch guys. What were those blue cones for that you found?

[glennetnixz]

@themainproblem Those are transport caps from a nose fuse of a 25 ponder shell.

[weaponeer]

great job. in the past I have restored rusty metal with special chemicals that remove rust only. do you restore any of the steel items you dig up?

[boddeus]

Zo!!! wat gaaf dat die release nog steeds werkt!!

[phillipah7]

Good job, well done.

[JayDS1990]

anyone got any links or know any places where i can purchase replica ww2 parachutes for reproductions? Cheers

[Ekatjam]

My uncle was killed in Beek on the 20th of September. Maybe that was his chute you dug up?

[StoneSlinging]

@Ekatjam could have been

[MadeInDenmark94]

[denko238]

[IAMDEATH2010]

this was posted the day major richard winters dies, 101st airborne, e company, 506th parachute. RIP

[yizuman]

After digging them all up, what do you do with them all?

[seutebal]

mooie filmpjes! knap gedaan. wil er zelf ook aan beginnen, woon namelijk niet zo ver van Bastogne, zou toch ook nog het een en ander moeten liggen.

[MsZathras]

Thanks for posting - very interesting.

All of my uncles were in Europe during WW2 - so I like seeing the relics!

[Anton01121983]

Super gaaf hoe jullie alles zo mooi schoon hebben gekregen. Wat voor detectors gebruiken jullie voor dit soort dingen te vinden? Zelf heb ik een C-Scope R1 en een C-Scope Cs5mxp.Het schoonmaken van de vondsten vindt ik best moeilijk.Ik heb hier nog heel wat munten liggen die nog behandeld moeten worden.Durf het niet goed aan.

[glennetnixz]

@Anton01121983 Thanks man, op een goede manier schoonmaken is indd lastig. Met munten moet je zeker voorzichtig zijn. Meestal is even wassen onder de kraan al voldoende, dan drogen en een laagje bijenwas er over. Nooit schuren of poetsen, dat wordt er nooit mooier op maar zover was je zelf natuurlijk ook al ;-) groeten

[Diggerww2]

goddamn very nice again from you guys!!

[crazyflackees]

i have a question whats the things u ostly find when ur searching?

[Melvin13287]

omg... niet normaal hey... voor deze tijd is dat echt een super resultaat !

[granskare]

I like that you show the relic dug up and then a foto of where it was located on a paratrooper...that's super...:)

[brabbertje]

Schitterend!

[CallicoJackracham]

glen ik wil je complimenteren je filmpjes worden steeds mooier nu zelfs met beelden van toen. geweldige vondsten trouwens. ik ga het strand bij mij in de buurt in de gaten houe aar gaan ze zand opspuiten daar komen soms ook leuke dingen uit.

[DDRGURU56]

Looks like a lot of fun. Would be cool to see the history of each piece as it was used/abandoned. Do you do a lot of hunting before you find the artifacts, or do you research the areas before hand to save on time?

[AdyHerts]

Wow I would love to come on one of these digs, great video. And God bless the brave young men who used this equipment all those years ago

[kakbalhaartjes]

Is dit in de buurt van de ginkelse hei?

[ritchiewinter]

Nicely put together guys....

[gregsgarage1]
