Danger from the North Sea - The search for explosive ordnance from WWII

The bottom of the North Sea is still littered with munitions from the Second World War. To ensure that the beaches on the East Frisian island of Wangerooge remain free of munitions, a meticulous search is necessary. Andre, Marcel and Patrick Warfsmann are ammunition searchers. Using sensitive technology, they comb the fine sand on the beach of Wangerooge centimeter by centimeter, looking for metal. They do this because the metal they find can be very dangerous.
