Title: Re: A William 3rd Crown Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on May 19, 2009, 04:14:54 PM well lads keep going, as you say there may just be one there for you waiting to be found,, yeah, not many about , i think its only the first or second iv'e seen come up, can't be sure which now, Williams anyhow don't usually have much detail left on them it must have been lost in its earlier years,

the farmer supplied us with landrovers and pickup trucks to get around the fields, we had a good day, he let us on some new fields we haven't been on before in the afternoon, One of his prize bulls had eaten some Ragwort and it killed him, |
