A mate had to fell a large ash. Whilst clearing thick bramble and thorn away from the butt something stalled the saw, he found what he described as 'a very slutty pair of lacy knickers' wrapped around chain/sprocket! Turned out there was a stash of about 20 pairs of them under there..

In the early 80's I found an old unburnt incendiary bomb on a shelf by the welder in a workshop on a farm.

Was not sure what to do with it so dropped into local copshop on way home and said casually " I,ve got a bomb"

Probably was not the best thing to say in those days of bomb scares, needless to say I was there a little longer than planned!

I know someone who moved into a house and found a hand grenade in an old shed, bomb squad was called it was a live one as well, complete with an almost rusted through pin.

My boss over the years has found a handgun and 2 grenades working around the border areas of northern ireland. when he found the gun the local boys appeared but never got it and imagine walking into a bullet riddled police station and placing a grenade on the counter and the whole station clears out plus many bullets. 3 weeks ago we removed an ash at an industrial estate which had a pick head through the middle from one side to the other.

Found a false arm with pincer hand on a railway embankment in west Sussex. Was called to another job in Kent by the rights of way department and found a ww2 access tunnel from the gun emplacement on the cliff to a nearby fortified house which was pretty cool

Found a hoard of money with the stumpgrinder. £7.50 in old 50 pence pieces.

If there are pieces of wood that can be dated back to the 18th century by the coins then wood can last a very long time before it decays. Has anyone seen a pile of coins left after the log has finally decayed away...?
