...and a nice distraction was watching the microlights and planes land on the local farm ... over 30 landed in the space of 40 minutes, as part of the round britain competition

ROFL ... there is a school of thought that suggests that the item could bea ground lightning strike anode. i am told that such items were regarded as lucky charm items.

the only doubt i have re the fossilised poo suggestion is the uniformity of the shape. most cuprolites are irregular in shape.

The "poo" is in fact  (possibly)  Smiley a by product that occurs from the iron & steel production process, it`s called "Pig Iron"  Wink

 Grin Mick I love the way you put "fact" in your suggestion. Unfortunately a clue is in the question ie. "Non metallic" so it's definitely not pig iron.

yep, i'm happy to confirm that the 'poo' object doesn't register a signal on any of the detectors used to check it .... and neither does it register a signal with the garrett probes.

So, what else could it be made out of, other than stone?

Interesting finds Alan - well done on the Lizzy.

As for your mystery item - looks a lot like a poker handle - but if its not metal - no idea!

My moneys on the Poo theory  Huh

Couldn't get out with the guys yesterday,  but was able to tag along to day. First to fall, after the first coffee break, was a Henry cut-half, voided long-cross, looks like Winchester mint (What do you think Doc?) to me. Then, as we headed in for a mid afternoon break, walking across the area close to the entrance that had been nicely gridded by the big-man, up popped my first James I Sixpence. Well chuffed with that one  Smiley in the footsteps of giants and all that Roll Eyes. Finally, to polish off the afternoon, the Lizzie halfgroat made the hat-trick.

Still, no more poo appeared today, but HM has threatened to throw me in a pile of it if I don't behave  Grin

Cheers,
