crap day

Post by Dr.Syn »

probably the worst day ever. Pastures near Knaresborough.
2 horseshoes
2 pieces of bronzy material (tips from seed drill?)
1 animal penacillan tube
1 piece lead
1 iron ring
5 assorted iron pieces
20 golf balls - the pasture backed onto a range.
We're born naked, cold, wet & hungry, then things get worse!
XS with Silver Sabre now backup.

Kev, this has to be one of the most fascinating experiments completed online and will go some way toward an understanding of the realities of this hobby. I'm ashamed that I did not get out in all that time, but I was nobbled by circumstances beyond my control. I will help in any way I can with the publishing of these results - as punishment :D

I forgot Kev offered a prize to one lucky participant - well turns out my number came up!!! so if blankreverse can just send that Cunobelin Gold Stater to me.... oh apparently it's going to be a small token of appreciation :(
Seriously well done to Kev and Phil on a most worthwhile undertaking - can't find the original thread so forgotten what kev said he wanted it all for???
