Here's a link where you'll find one of the most incredible find I saw on video.

It's a group of diver and metal dectector searchers in Germany that I've follow since a year. They find a lot of various wwII relics under water or under earth.

In this video you'll see a diver taking out a mosin nagant, k98, PPS 43, German helmet and belt buckle from what's looks like a lake. They are in a very good condition for all that time under water; probably due to the airless condition in the mud.

Enjoy and watch the other videos!

The first one he pulled up is a carcano, second one looks like a VZ-24, third is a ppsh-43.

Man id love to go over there and look for war relics
 
Just amazing, all those rifles would need is some care and some cleaning and they might yet be fireable again. The PPS 41 even has its sling and the helmet has its leather cap still inside it.

Could this have been a forgotten battlefield that was flooded later during the war or perhaps post war ? Could it have been a dumping ground for surplus weapons ? Who knows...

Any idea where they found this stuff ?
 
lot easier to throw it in the river ,than dispose of it properly. theres ton's of it in Gander lake in Newfoundland, too costly to bring back to the USA ..
 
There are places in Russia where the German dead and their equipment were simply bulldozed into ditches by the ton. Due to the lack of O2 and bacteria in the grave sites a lot of the equipment hasn't really deteriorated. There's a layer of bones and militaria several feet thick.

If you Google "Russian Metal Detecting" you can find some amazing s**t. An example;

There's one page where the guys are standing on the commander's hatch of a completely intact Tiger tank. It sank into the muskeg the spring after it was abandoned. The paint, unit markings etc are perfect if a bit yellow from the acidity of the water.

LOL Satain... I watched that whole video. 6 minutes of fish ####. You sick, sick man.
 
I got a nice WW2 German Helmut from a guy in Holland a few years back. He told me it was a Battlefield recovery from the Bastonge area. He put repo liners in them and was selling them on E-Bay. Pretty cool and I gave it to my Son for X-mas. Being a History buff he was pretty pleased.
 
There are many areas in Europe in which goods were buried, ditched in rivers, lakes, the ocean, etc, etc....

Several years ago we were involved in a massive salvage operation off the coast of England, tunnels in which the retreating Germans had simply filled with goods, laid booby traps and them dynamited the entire facility.... Interesting.

We retreived many weapons forgotten facilities throughout Eastern Europe, who know what still lies out there ??

Yea I've seen the tank and the "tresor chest" too.
Both are the greatest finds on the net I guess.

I also have a real German helmet; and a lot more, but mine is completly original ;)

This is something I would love to go and explore. Finding a cache of unissued k98's and G43's in some hidden little bunker somewhere.
 
I am aware of one bunker in Europe...underground. Access has not been permitted to anyone since WW2 because of booby traps and the possibility that there was also a germ or gas warfare lab in the bunker...it was sealed off with yards of concrete by the Germans as they retreated...
