Scary thought

[guest7]

I'd never heard of this incident, but what freaked me out is the last sentence in the first paragraph... 14?!

It was nice of them to publish the serial number....I mean....yeah.......I've come across several of them on remote norfolk beaches....but none with that number....so thats alright then

[themoudie]

Aye, a 'lobster pot' off Thurso!

[guest18]

14 what?
"Following several unsuccessful searches, it was presumed lost somewhere in Wassaw Sound off the shores of Tybee Island." is the last sentence in the first paragraph

Fuck me, it's been edited since I posted the link.

It originally said that it was one of 14 nuclear devices that the US cannot account for.

They are fast these CIA lads 

Oops, did I type CIA? Well that'll set a few dials buzzing at Menwith Hill. Ok, might as well go for the whole shanabang, George Bush, Bomb, tax evasion, photographs of sheep. This post will be gone before I've finished typ....

Look at this eBay item 320216592549 from Tybee. That hermit crab is bigger than the lighthouse.....OMG!

[Steve Lake]

AND.....wot are those things in the bottom left of the picture........LIMPET Mines!!!!

[themoudie]

Oh come on SteveL, they used to mine the stuff just over the boarder to the west of you! 

Coprolites!

You'll need some of that for the 4 course rotation in the veg patch!

Here's a URL if your still mystified:

Happy digging, Bill.

Don'tcha just HATE clever barstewards

[guest27]

Used to work with a guy who had a polished coprolite as a paper weight - his daughter was an 'expert' in old shit.

I suspect most TC members have shares in shed loads of old s**t!

Also my spelling and diction couldn't be worse, I can't get the spelling of boarder right!

I'll take my spirtle and retire.

My regards, Bill.

[Steve Lake]

Are you referring to Grimes Graves by any chance Bill?

When we first came up here in the 70's, you could go down into the workings, and crawl along the tunnels.............

The PC/HSE brigade have done for that......all fenced off, can't get within 25 yards (sorry, meters, or is it metre's) of the opening now......I think they've done the same with stonehenge

It'll be stabilisers on motorbikes soon, mark my words!

[themoudie]

Aye Steve,

Grimes Graves are the remains of flint mines from the Neolithic Period I believe.

Coprolite mining was for fertiliser, especially as the coprolites have a high phosphate content.

This link takes you to a site descrbing the mining in Cambridgshire:

This is another link about the mining in the SE of Suffolk and is connected with the developement of Fisons fertiliser and their once large operation at Levington on the Orwell (Levington Composts etc):

I know its sad and a load of old s*1t, but as an inquisitive site surveyor, its part of the job. I hope you enjoy the reading.

My regards, Bill.
