Scully Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just been touched on in a thread of a similar title; as opposed to losing, what have you found in the field? Apart from live ammo on MOD range I haven't found anything, but a mate found a Leatherman multi tool in the side of the road when out shooting. It was well used to the extent it was loose in the joints. He sent it to the manufacturers and asked it be tightened up; they sent him a brand new one in return! Jammy sod!

kyska Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 When I was a lot younger myself and two freinds found a dead tramp, does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I found a Victorinox knife once under a hedge right behind a good pigeon decoying spot. It must have been there a few years and was not in great condition, the yellow handle gave it away and the rust cleaned up OK. Found porn Found a scooter (I am guessing stolen - Police informed) Find drugs kit often in gateways Found couples exploring each other Found .22 rf ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I found two books which had been discarded, one by Robert Crais and another by Michael Connolly. Enjoyed reading both of them and have picked up other works by the same authors from the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) When I was a lot younger myself and two freinds found a dead tramp, does that count? Did you send him away to get tightened up and get a fresh new tramp in his place? Only if he was in a field. I suppose it was pointless going through his pockets? Could still have been worth it, he may have found that ruby and gold Rolex from the other thread....... Edit: On a more serious and slightly poetic note I shall add that I have often found rare moments of genuine serenity whilst sitting in a field, sadly often balanced up with despondency at acrobatic pigeons who can avoid 30g or so of high speed lead with apparent ease. Not found anything interesting of any particular note or shininess in a field, but I did find a particularly good neolithic flint arrowhead in my flower bed.

Zapp Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I believe Beardo once found a load of gay porn and 'toys'. Or at least that's his version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Back along in Norfolk while beating, a chap I knew from another Shoot lost his wrist watch. He was devastated as it was an anniversary present from his wife. I found it the following week undamaged except one of the strap pins was missing which had caused it to fall off.

Zapp. I think you are perhaps posting on the wrong thread, this one is "found in the field" the one you may have mean to post on is the thread called "lost in the field" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owain Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've found some ww2 shell casings, 20mm out of a spitfire or hurricane, .303 rifle casings. A old beer bottle down a rabbit hole from a local, long since closed brewery with the cork still rattling around in the bottle. And a sea trout in the middle of a stubble field about a mile away from any water course. Probably dropped by a otter or something. Other than that just the usual steamed up cars down back lonings at 2 in the morning while lamping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I found a Omega Seamaster a year or so ago, on a footpath through a field. I took it to the police station, no one claimed it so I sold it online for £350, I think. As kids we would find lots of WWII ammo, motar tails and bomb fragments on the South Downs. We were once given a deactivated hand grenade by the mod bomb disposal team after several visits to blow up various UXBs my dad ploughed up.
