Tuesday 23rd April - Metal Detecting
Arrived at the car park near the Forester's in time to see Nicky opening the gate onto the site. After parking and walking up to the cattle grid, as we rounded Brock's Hill, we could feel the thunder of hooves as the ponies raced to greet Nicky and Gordon (who had also just arrived on site). I'll leave Gordon to report the detail of the 'pony trading' and just note that we hauled out around a dozen rusted steel screw pickets (barbed wire supports) that previously had been invisible but seemed to reveal themselves the moment Nicky mentioned concerns about the danger of metal to the ponies. They were in the area around the ditches south east of Brock's hill where the contractors have cleared the scrub. Gordon has a photo. Next time I go on site I'll look for more.
