That's class, must be some buzz finding something like that. If I wasn't a lazy prick I'd have a shot at it.
The idea is fun, but the reality of it is trudging around in muddy fields in the rain, being shouted at by Brexit-voting farmers and chatting about your finds to blokes call Gary and Nigel in the pub after, drinking warm flat beer.
I’m not shouted at by farmers as I have permission from them. Though once some busy body old woman called the cops and told them I had a rifle. Batty old trout. Good find but will rust away to dust now it’s out of the earth. I’ve found a few sword fragments slightly older than that. 3000 years older approximately.
^^^^ beelin' a 10 year old is better than him at it so tries to belittle the poor boy's find. He then continues to make up stories about a woman and rifle and then claims he has found older bits of swords anyway. What a ****er. I like stopme
Bit dodgy letting people go around digging stuff up in Norn Irln, never know what bodies or stash of weapons are going to turn up.

Probably the most boring nation on earth, the Poles. Might explain why they are world champions at digging up bottle tops and tap washers for a hobby.
They love huddling in groups in alleyways getting steadily more sh.itfaced on voddy and Tyskie and pissing up the side of bins before dropping all their empties and *** butts on the floor. I have limited dealings with the poles but this appears to be commonplace.
They are world class pissartists, true. And they do seem to favour car parks over pubs. Work hard, drink hard, like Paddies without the humour.
I went to a Polish restaurant in Shepherd's Bush once. It was like below average school dinners, very heavy going. I would like to say even the puddings were made from potatoes but that would just be racial profiling and wrong.
Been fortunate enough to go to a lot of places abroad and genuinely love Poland. We went out for lunch, 9 of us, booze, starters, mains and desserts and the grub was spectacular, bill was something like £60. Don't get me wrong, the older Polish ****s are miserable bastards but guess that's what Communism gets you. No junkies either but lots of ****s steamin walking along motorways.
I've been in the Sahara recently trying to find myself. I did, now that's a National Treasure indeed.
