[Blenderwombat]

wish my backyard was a ww2 battle field..

[XMonkeyBrainizationX]

Is this a part gun of the Maxim M4 AA Gun? IDK Or is it just a Single one?I dont know lots about these kind of guns Y'Know...

[Lukos0036]

Do you plan to give it to a museum? 

[MsPhotoboy]

Hi !Come to visit our website and video ! Have a great Day ! Big one !

[iownudie108]

[suurpomm]

Rutikvere

[TheZolininkai]

in lithaunia we find only Russians stuff...

[TehAwesomishdude]

>:) im going to go search for K98s Thompsons Lugers revolvers and all that i live in Bastogne (close to it) where there were HUGE battles and not everything has been found

[HeinzVonHans]

I'm jealous... If I lived around there, you'd find me dead in one of the million holes I would've dug.

[seminar6]

about 48 years ago we found a maxim machine gun outside the underground store on Dartford (the IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM.)... Heath,Kent....we took it to the home of PHIL MARSHALL near Blackfen...I THINK HIS DAD FOUND IT AND SOLD IT....in his loft we found a .22 bolt action rifle ..i loaded it and fired a shot through his roof!!!...the old thieving b`stard.

[TylerM2506]

that is actually a 30 caliber that was the earlier version from WW! but the army still used those in WW2 but then they made a new and improved 30 caliber that was air cooled that one is water cooled

[berkelusa]

Looks like a Spandau Machine Gun.. Slots on the heat guard mean it was air cooled and came from an Airplane.. Other versions had sealed tubes that were filled with water to keep it cool..

[7JDH7NL7]

NOT FAIR NOT FAIR WHY I AINT FIND THIS STUFF :(((

its really stupid i live in a area where wasn't fighted realy hard.

[bommer321]

Not Maxium (German) it looks like a British Vickers the water cooler jacket has crenallations which points to the Vickers

[MrKarka614]

mis metsas te leidsite selle?

[Thewestofestonia]

Tublid poisid :D

[goholden12345]

lol thers an aussie ther!

[joostjb]

very nice, wasn't there any ammunation? or helmets or knifes

[NoOdL3z18]

this is too cool, i can't truly imagine the hell that went on where these weapons were found. 80 years after the great war and 60 years after the second, the land still bears scars and reminders.

[bantheidiotsplz]

6hku ei karda ennast lasta :D ?

[hockeyhatesgooglnow]

If I found a gun in the ground the first thing I would think is, wow I hope some prick doesn't see me take this thing home with me.

[MrMickeyd1112]

i can barely find any coins... and you found a FUCKING MACHINE GUN?!?!?!?!?!?

[TheWxr]

@MrMickeyd1112 Dont sweat it im still pulling up pull tabs : /

[DowntownTB13]

if they clean it up it may be worth something, but in this state it is shit

[Thetruthishere11]

RUST

[leitchee]

who made it and dropped it? russian ww2 model?

[Jsch1997]

@leitchee German WW1, but nice try.

[washburn2630]

that is 100% maxim machine gun you know......

[MultiGamenoob]

thats not an machine gun :P a m1 or something like thaT?

[Amplar2]

@MultiGamenoob

it's a maxim you silly, note the water jacket and muzzle.

[Amplar2]

@MultiGamenoob

*or a Vickers

[PanzerAngriff]

@MultiGamenoob Yeah you're right. Definitely an M1.

[epiphonel100]

@MultiGamenoob its a wwl machine gun :P cant remember wat its called thow it was one of the first ture machine guns

[tristan1234567890]

idiot read a book before you open your mouth that is a maxim clearly. look at the large cilinderical shape (watercooling jacket) and the boxshape(i forgot what thats to be called, the spot where the bullets enter, fire and the cases get ejected)

[neomuttley]

Score!!! Beats the H*ll out of finding coins ;-).

[JimboPH]

I hear a Garrettttt! :D

[brawleragent]

niiice

[waggman71]

wot a find

[thatsMrSmileytoyou]

Great find

[danvid5]

imagine the story behind that thing

all the idiots that got shot by it or got shot while using it haha

[Elgrande555]

All the idiots leaving stupid comments. Imagine it would have been you using it or being shot at. get an education and grow up boy.

[bashibasouk]

Lucky Bums! Too bad they couldn't keep it like an American...

[nk3007]

pretty sure they can keep battlefield dug relics. I think it has to be deemed unfireable, or incapable to be made fireable first though.

[paintblmat]

when my g-pa was young he lived in estonia during ww2 and he used to find dead soldiers and play with their guns and gernades but he stopped the day after another kid blew his arm off with an accidental pull of the string of a nazi's potato masher

[tomcat955]

ya right

[White1Hunter]

ace 250 club

[thanxx]

cool?

you crazt Estonian's lol

we have Estonian's now living nextdoor to us hear in the uk and like i said CRAZY lol

(but in a cool way lol)

[GasMaskGuySince1993]

very nice, you should have been a little more careful removing it though!

[gunnut1911]

amazing that the rear sight is still attached!!!!!

[Sewov]

Me and my cousin found a Maxim while I visited him in finnland, it was a rustbucket with lots of holes, and we turned it in to the war museum there near Karelen

[sonodaotaku]

want = very yes

[HPBrowningBoy]

I hear a familiar sound! You used a Garrett Ace 250 metaldetector?

[tafenau24]

dud no pounds or dollars

they r in estonia so kroons

[BothtaweeKelly]

What did you do with it? With that kind of find, you can make a lot of money!

[mcnegro]

I Never clean up or shower here. The dried shit flakes off my body and sometimes ill brush a bit out of my beard. My head is shaved so it just flakes off there too. Hell yes, I STINK. And my mouth smells like a sewer. Thats theway I like it! I may clear a few people out of a room when I walk in but I havent been thrown out of a Wallmart yet.

[moremetalthanjones]

you lucky bastard!

[wwgj25]

you need to sell some of that stuff

[sykop8ntballer]

Fuck me, what a find.

[ftajs6az6]

nice job

[Peatman]

I might have watched too much Time Team, but even a "common" artifact such as that shouldn't be just ripped out of the ground.

[juufa72]

Nice find. But next time be careful when pulling out something that old.

[supergooddeal]

Hey I think lilmax25 forgot to mention the word fuck. Hey great find by the way!!!!!!!!!

[ak47lover]

have you ever found a german mg42 or mg34? if i found one id shit myself

[moremetalthanjones]

maxim machine guns are FAR more valuable

a good condition a mg42 is worth about £800

a good condition maxim is worth about £3500

[ak47lover]

Yeah maxims are bad ass but in America a MG42 full auto is around $40,000 don't know what the maxim is worth...in semi auto that is about the value though 800 pounds is that about 1900 2000 dollars? Semi's go for around 2500 if they are german around 4 to 6000

[moremetalthanjones]

i was actualy talking about deac cos im form scotland i forgot you can get them live in america sadly deac is all your avrage joe can get in the uk:(

[ramborob17]

true and MG-42 is around $40,000 American but that's not for something you dug up with a shovel and a metal detector.

[ak47lover]

of course..but im not sure what a maxim goes for in america...maybe more

[ramborob17]

I'm not sure. Who wouldn't want a full auto MG-42 though. I would love to invest in one. Its like investing in a '69 Corvette

[ryannlag]

It could be I know a story... So just bite your lip

[runescapem4d]

dude easy way to convert dollars to pounds take a 3rd away of dollars

[tristan1234567890]
