    I know they were also into the electrical side of things. An early tidal power station?

    The plastic rad grill was one of Land Rovers biggest mistakes. How can you stick it over a fire to rest the frying pan on?

    OK, that confuses things! HMS Vernon was the Torpedo and mine establishment. Was it a support site for divers? The only other thing that comes to mind is a Foxer.That is a large clanging device that was towed about for distracting acoustic mines and torpedos. Though this is fixed to the lake/sea bed.(Is the Rosie for autograph cokkie that keeps appearing at the tyop of the page a futher attempt to distract?)

    Something inside a tank, has electrical cables, designed for a lake. Portsmouth mentioned. Anything related to HMS Vernon?

    You said no to minesweeping and de-gaussing ships so why else, except for ilegal fishing do you have electric cables under water? working a chain ferry?

    Santa would get the NEDDLE!! :-D
  20. Tony B
    Anything to do with refloating beached landing craft?
  21. Tony B
    Are they still digging?
  22. Tony B
    Cleared a lot of obvious then. A 2 ton sinker? Must be quite a beast. A difrent era. De gausing kit for ships? Or the opposite to map a ships magnetic feild?
  23. Tony B
    Welcome, what you got then?
  24. Tony B
    Yes, but a bit up the wrong track, a submarine detector is the next guess. :-D I have seen something similar, which is why I thought torpedo. The RE had a lot of weird river and costal defence gadgets in the late 1800 early 1900. So how close am I?

    Trench Art is a rather dubious feild. As early as 1919 locals were collecting stuff and engraving it for tourist curious. There are modern examples even now, enough dated casings etc still lying about.
