These are the words from a Yorkshire searchers metal detector member.........................................................
Well i thought ide seen it all till today on yorkshire
searchers midweek dig at north duffield today.
After getting everyone to park up on the a19 layby
i showed everyone were they could detect and on which field
after a hour of me walking around chatting to see if anything
had been found i headed back to my car while everyone was detecting
One of our forum members terry from york decided to walk over the a19 to bring
his car closer to the dig he parked his car just at the back of mine we had a chat
then he went out to detect again i was leaning against my car pouring a flask of tea
And all of a sudden With all blues flashing 2 police landrovers and 2 t5 armed responce volvos blocked the road in front of me and about 6 police men run towards me it was like watching miami vice shouted and surrounded me have you seen a man with army clothes on and a farmers flat cap on
i sald no he shouted weve have been informed a man which looks like him there in the field
crossed the a19 with a hand gun in a holster strapped to his leg
I sald eh so the police men all asked me to escort them across the field to the
to show them it wasnt a gun at all .... IT WAS A GARRETT PINPOINTER
The armed police were shocked to here we all had one and they were out numbered
