0 Willyslancs Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 would make a good garden feature....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rick W Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Charlie Dimmock would have that out, stick some dowel rods in the holes and have water squirting out the top. Alternatively you could just place it in the middle of your lawn with rods coming out as if it were floating in your garden... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bob Britnell Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Have you tried hitting it with something big and heavy, or poking something sharp down the holes? That might tell you if it was a mine? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 radiomike7 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 During WW2 RAF minelaying operations were code named 'Gardening'. Correct, and the anti ship mines were codenamed vegetables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
