gnipper 6,019 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've never been metal detecting but I've lamped them a few times when I've been out with dogs , for some strange reason they just take off running when the lamp hits them, definitely lamp shy . I bet they don't run as well as them eastern european coarse fish thieves on the lamp. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,428 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lmao next time one gives it twinkle toes when the lamp hits them, slip the dog and listen to them screaming "NO please God no"! As the dog goes towards them at full sprint Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we had to vacate the field there was 2 coppers stood guard throwing stones at it :0 The moors round here were used for training in ww2, I find hundreds of bullets and mortor tail fins. My brother found dozens of granades years ago, the bomb squad were up there for ages detonating em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,019 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The estate owner had let the army use this ground for training or something. Apparently the last one found was 30 years before and the village bobby took it away rattling around in the basket of his bike! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
