Mark_mjs93 164 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 As much as I understand the draw of metal detecting, I am not interested in it myself. Funny story though! I work as a 999 call handler for the fire service. Got a call from the police the other week and she said "Hi, we've just a had a call from a metal detecting enthusiast". I will just say now, no conversation that begins with 'I have just had a call from a metal detecting enthusiast" ends well. Low and behold within an hour we had a 500m cordon in place and EOD on the way. Luckily it wasn't a bomb but the EOD boys did say "We can definitely see why they thought it could be a bomb". Balls of steel them blokes, they walked up to it with nothing but a shovel. No bomb-proof suit, no robot, just a rusty shovel and some elbow grease! Even after they said 'Well it could definitely be something'. It was just up the road from a RAF site used during WWII. Bloody metal detectorists 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
