Crazy finds

I found a Samurai sword with a burglars swag bag hidden in a hedge on a sunday morning when I was 18 . The odd thing was that I myself was doing community service at the time of the find for being a naughty boy . I handed all goods into Cheshire Constabulary and after a good while later received a call saying that I could pick up the sword . All other goods were returned to there rightful owners . I am now a good boy :biggrin:.

Once working on a council estate in hammersmith and fulham and I found a quarter of resin... Those were the days eh!

 

I had a mate who found a 9 bar stashed in a hedge at some grounds he was working at , went back the next week and found another.

 

Needless to say he had a massive smile on his face:flute::flute:

I once found a chainsaw tool strop. Pulled it out from under the hedge, and guess what was attached??????

 

Yes, a 020t. It must have been there about a year. The client had some work done the year before, and had lost the companies name and contact details. Anyhow, she got in tough with me to do some more work. It was quite a way from my normal working area .

 

I told the lady about the saw. As we had no contact details I kept the saw. Took it home and cleaned out the tank, carb etc. The bar and chain had siezed on. But I got it going and all sorts of dead insects were ejected from the exhaust. It was ok as a backup saw, but always a bit unreliable.

 

Also, once foud a bomb whilst tree planting. my mate said, what's that, it looks loke a bomb. I said, don't be so daft and gave it a tap. Turned out it was a morter shell. The quarry where we were working was closed and bomb squad turned up.
