Any nice find stories whilst simply gardening?


There was a mad old lady who used to encourage me to dig up my
orchard, by saying that the public footpath adjacent to it was the one
that King John was using when he lost the royal treasury in the wash.

I live around 35 miles west of Kings Lynne, traditionally associated
with the story.

So, no. I havn't.


Sounds like you need to hire a powerful Metal Detector (as used by a relly
for gold prospecting in Oz)
