Still in search of Hitler's lost gold. We will find it one day but in the meantime we came across so many great WW2 relics at a former German army base.
We have been here several times and made videos of what we discovered here in the past. Last year or so I have recorded lots of video footage here which I have posted on my Patron website (link below). What you see here is a compilation of my and my friends digging there for over the past year. All the best finds combined into one big video. If you are a WW2 fanatic and love seeing old relics i'm sure that you will enjoy the video. It became a high paced video filled with some great WW2 treasure. So buckle in and enjoy the ride!

ps. Video has subtitles in multiple languages for your viewing pleasure!

FAQ:
-Do you report things found to the authorities?
Yes, all nasty things found like UXO's and finds that could be important from an archaeology perspective are reported to the local authorities.
-Do you sell finds?
I am a collector myself so I hardly sell relics. But if I do then I'll post it on the social media pages or think about becoming a Patron, because I'll share finds with my Patrons (check out the Patreon website for details).
-How do you gain permission for metal detecting?
Check out local laws regarding metal detecting and get permission from the landowner. Or hook up with a local metal detecting club in the area you would like to detect and get your information from them. (I stopped responding to questions like this all together, I'm not google..)
-Can I come with you?
No.
-Will you marry me?
No, lets just be friends.
-I want to see more!
Go check out the social media pages, or consider becoming a Patron! Patrons have access to much more, special videos, behind the scenes footage and WW2 goodie boxes containing relics me and my friends found over the years.
-What metal detector do you use?
The Garrett Ace Apex with a bigger coil or the Garrett AT Max.
-Camera?
Go Pro 7, Go Pro 10 and a Sony handy cam
-Favourite find?
Deep Digger Dan's YouTube channel. GET IN!
-What is on your bucket list?
Hitler's lost gold or the missing gold train everybody is searching for. But until then I am happy with whatever pops up, I even enjoy finding landmines... :-s

  • @BaldrAesir
    Man YouTube algorithms/rules are dumb - I feel like a lot of people would really find this stuff fascinating and interesting and that it should have more views. Keep up the good work your videos are priceless
  • @SoulIron
    The amount of cool finds in this place is just unbelievable! Really fantastic! Thanks for showing us these relics.
  • After the end of the war in 1945, my grandfather was forcibly recruited by the American occupation forces in Vienna to remove the everyday objects of the National Socialists from the rooms of the state buildings. Of course, he kept the cutlery. When we visited my parents, we always ate with cutlery that had a swastika on it until they died in 2016/2017.
  • @halitiko
    Thanks for sharing such videos with us.

    Maggi was a requirement in the kitchen when we lived near Trier in the mid-70s. After watching detectorists in Germany and across Europe, my mind's eye sees the terrain much differently.
  • @JohnSmith-ef2sp
    Thank you for providing reference photos of some of your finds.
  • @rebeccam.s.1565
    I watch your videos with my husband Lee Stanford. The stone in the ring looks like bloodstone to me! Incredible find!!
  • @KelseyDunlevy
    This is so cool. Thank you for sharing your finds with us here on YouTube. Must be painstaking, but rewarding, work!
  • I think it’s awesome that you are excavating history! I would absolutely love to dig with you all. My father was German American and fought against Germany during WWII. He told me many stories from the war. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!
  • Wat ontzettend gaaf dit!!!!! Dit wil je blijven kijken…en opnieuw en opnieuw!!!👍🍀💪
  • @shaunwest3612

  • @rongreen4231
    Very cool finds. I have to buy relics for my collection, it would be so cool to actually go out and find stuff.

    I don't know if this comment will follow through when the post goes live to everyone, but if you're looking for a creator to support, Mike really takes care of his patrons 👍 More than other creators I have supported.
  • @troyprice5068
    You guys could start your own museum. Awesome stuff man. Well done video also 👍🍻✌
  • Awesome work guys, especially that ring, I have my grand father's grand father's wedding ring, pure gold, fits perfectly. I never wear it though, passed on to the family. Keep up the great work, stay safe, I really enjoy your videos. Happy father's day to everyone too.
  • @karlaiken6152
    Hello, that tiny model a/c you found is not a Junkers but a Dornier Do17 medium bomber used in the earlier part of WW2 like over England in 1940. Good video. Thank you. Keep digging guys!
