This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to stand and search the location of a 1944 Normandy battlefield. Your experienced driver-instructor has conducted several inspections in the area and will provide maps and all relevant information of what happened there.

Do your own metal detecting and digging, keep what you find (precautions and exceptions may apply). All the equipments are provided.

For an enhanced experience we limit the amount of participants to 4 maximum.

Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections).

We will have one on Omaha Beach, at either Vierville, St Laurent and/or Colleville.

Pointe du Hoc is a high point between two of the five D-Day landing beaches, Utah and Omaha. It is renowned for the daring assault conducted on 6 June 1944 by the 2nd U.S. Ranger Battalion to neutralize the German artillery battery there.

This World War II cemetery in France contains the graves of nearly 9400 war dead and nearly 1600 names on the Walls of the Missing.

We will take you to a private farm where we will be able to explore the field with metal detectors at a location where American soldiers faced German soldiers in July 1944 in Normandy.

We have special permission from the landowners to explore their property.

During this time, you will learn about the battles that took place there, and have the possibility to search the area with the detectors and see if relics are still present, very often it is the case. You may be involved in digging dirt, and you need to dress accordingly. You may also just assist, while you study the maps. All under the supervision and guidance of your tour leader, an expert in this activity.
