Hey

Here is my first and second video of millitaria metal detetcing findings in a US Army POW Camp in Germany./ Hessen

I hope they all enjoy.

(In Part 2 of the music is better ;) )

Very cool! Was it a German camp for Allied POWs, or was it a US camp for German POWs? I saw a post-WWII PFC metal rank insignia there, so it must have seen some sort of post-WWII US use. Really cool selection of artifacts.

Hey

This was a US Army camp for German POWs 1945-1946.

DP Camp 1946-1951 and US Army post until 2007

Great job on the videos. I especially like all the German dogtags you found. You can tell some of them were purposely destroyed by bending them into pieces.

Some really nice finds. Were the items clustered together when you found them? It may have been a camp trash pit.

 

I like the video presentation also!

Hey Beast

The finds were distributed on a meadow.

Thanks Kurt

 

Interesting EKM / dog tag fund from my friend Pickup.
It is a self-made SS tank dog tag from Flanders / Belgium.

 

8. SS Panzer Regiment 10 / Westland

Hey

My last two good finds :)

Nice Quarter from 1940

The dog tag is a tank hunter tag from Bavaria / Straubing.

The barracks and the unit there are still.

1945 the Panzerjäger Ersatz Abteilung 10.

1955 - today the Panzerjägerkompanie 210
