30-6 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Talking to a farmer about what odd items i find when strolling about the fields, he recalled when he caught a fox "pinching" his kids toys from the garden. Personally i've found golf balls, tennis balls, odd shoes and toys to name a few that i can think off the top of my head. What have you found ?

hedd-wyn Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I once found a box full of pork pies slap bang in the middle of a 20 acre field once. Probably 30-40 of'em! When I walked back the same way to the car, they were all gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 A very nice brief case full of various bits of medical equipment. Never got to the bottom of it but it was close to a popular lay-by so it was figured that some poor commercial traveller had had a belly full and "resigned"!

Seen a few laybys with bits like that in my thoughts were dumped items from stolen cars..... Radomnly I have found a DVD still in its case and a "Big Bertha" golf club in my back garden! Both just lying on the grass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerSim Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Ploughing, a good distance from any road etc, and there is this dayglow orange "bag" at the side of the field - and I do mean DAYGLOW. plus, its quite big, maybe 8 foot by 4 foot, so, I carry on, and then later, as I am getting near it, think I'd better shift the thing before its all tangled up, (in the plough), so I get out of the tractor, and get hold of the bag, and its HEAVY, and I'm thinking what the ****? so, both hands and its till bloody heavy, so I have a look round this damn thing, and as my hands are on it, it sort of becomes obvious that its "warm".... by this point its all starting to get a bit weird... Anyway, the guy that works for me, (Bill), is wondering why i've stopped = am I ok etc, and walks over, by which point I am at the "top" of this "thing", where there is a flap, so Bill arrives as I open the flap, and there is a guy inside this thing !!! though he wasn't dead, he bloody well looked it, - I think both of us nearly jumped out of our skin!!! at which point he "wakes up" and looks at us in complete disgust for waking him up!! He looks at us, says something along the lines of, "ah, you are wanting to plough here..", gets out of the "bag", packs it away, and wanders off without speaking again, this was nowhere near a footpath, or much else really... The whole thing was completely and utterly surreal, but there you are. Edited April 22, 2012 by FarmerSim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack-ack Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 The most interesting were a rake of Hurricane bits. One came down during the war in the rearing field and when the pipe would come off a drinker the ducks used to go nuts and create a mini grand canyon in the light soil and uncover bits of wreckage. The engine and most of the wreckage was removed by enthusiasts some years ago and the bits I got were what they missed / disturbed. Ploughing, a good distance from any road etc, and there is this dayglow orange "bag" at the side of the field - and I do mean DAYGLOW. plus, its quite big, maybe 8 foot by 4 foot, so, I carry on, and then later, as I am getting near it, think I'd better shift the thing before its all tangled up, (in the plough), so I get out of the tractor, and get hold of the bag, and its HEAVY, and I'm thinking what the ****? so, both hands and its till bloody heavy, so I have a look round this damn thing, and as my hands are on it, it sort of becomes obvious that its "warm".... by this point its all starting to get a bit weird...

bakerboy Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I found a bag with 4 brand new full bodied decoy's on one of my permissions. I left a note for the owner to contact me so I could return them, I never got a call. The decoys have gone to a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangNik Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I once found a pair of trainers with some boxer shorts on top as if both of them had been step'd out off. Both were covered in a pile of poo. I can only imagine somebody had taken there pants off and got down for a dump in their trainers with their trollies around their ankles and made a massive error of trajectory. To this day the image of what must have happed cracks me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 A unmarked open envelope containing a cheque for £297 addressed to the farmer. Needless to say he was very happy to have it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste eibar Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I found something that looked like the bottom half of a till, or some kind of safety box that was cut open with a grinder.No money or valuable's left though. :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 ive never found anything interesting though. But one of my farmers has a little private underpass beneath a motorway, and they once found a broken open safe in there. Apparently the police forensics said it was a real tough one that must have taken a pro a long time to crack. so must have had something pretty valuable inside im guessing...
