Title: Enamel Bath Job
Post by: parkijohn on June 17, 2009, 07:19:33 PM
Dont laugh before i even start to tell you.Went out with my mate several years ago it was a lovely day at first,then the heavens opened just as he got this cracking signal.I joined my mate and we started digging my mate was saying ,its a hoard a hoard, ::) ::)we were up to the eyes in mud soaking wet.The further we got the signal was excellent,we must of dug about 3 feet down an hour later after rests inbetween as we were knackered/Got there eventually have a guess what it was as the subject says it all an ENAMEL BATH turned upside down.Well you can imagine the language from us and the tears.Im still recovering from the shock 10 years later.Ive still got the same detector a fisher wouldnt part with it. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Happy Days
