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 Mate, a few years ago I went to feed my chickens and found they had scratched up a shell about a foot long. I'm not a million miles away from Catterick garrison and the chicken pen aint a million miles away from my house..........half hour later bomb squad and cops crawling all over........................ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
