there were two different sticks one was a lot thinner than that, but neither had bark on very plain sticks really, a tool used to measure a stint, and tunnel width in hand filling days, or to assist i

This is not a dig at you mate,,,cos I bet your a young fella,,,,but it's a sad reflection of the "time" that somone from the north east doesn't know what a deputy stick is,,a once proud mining area,,,

spot on we called them checks but that's a regional thing, more commonly one was alloy,where we were, which went in when searched before going down, and brass on way out,

All over s Yorkshire where I live my old man was a minor him poaching was how me and my twin sis got fed during the strike and put the OD bob or two in the kitty

you and many more mate the old man stocked up on 2 and 3 inch 4-10 cartridges first week of the strike, and it fed us, it was the only way, the dogs had a hard year that year,
still can remember my mum coocking a roast chicken and I thought it doesn't taste like chicken it was pheasant lol we as a family ate well during the seasons lol like many others my old man still goes rabbiting with my dogs he tell me some stories about getting such a beating off keepers up North daft git say they was the days haha he loves being out on the lamp with me that who got me into lurchers I will post a thread later on the lurcher section I will call it poaching dogs of old
It couldn't have been better for scrounging hedgerows, you knew where plod was he was either, concentrating on avoiding house bricks or worrying who was sorting his wife out,all you had to do was get off the estate nice and quietly,
