what finds have you found in your works

Found a dried up dead cat in a loft. Mentioned it to the lady of the house and she said - oh that's what happened to him, and I remember that awful smell.

It had been about 15 years ago.

i found a red thong one day when i pulled a cylinder out

my apprentice at the time thought it would be a good idea stick it on over his bright blue overalls and started danceing about

then the woman off the house who was an middle aged /elderly lady came home and started to walk up the stairs

panicin he tryed to get the now rolled up thong off his overalls

and quickly threw it out on the middle off the bathroom floor

just then she came in to the bathroom and said "well guys how are you getting on AHH there is my good thing i have been looking for that everywere "

We found a first world war service revolver which turned out was not deactivated in a house bought by a young couple at auction after an elderly lady who lived there died. After playing with it we we realised we should let the police know and were swamped with armed police and detectives.....

About 15 years ago we found 3 old 35mm Gaumont Graphic cinema newsreels from 1915. We cointacted the Imperial War Museum and they sent someone to collect them (it was old Nitrate film which is dangerous). They were very keen to get hold of them as they didn't have any. I was sent a video of them. Had a number of obviously staged scenes from the First World War plus a few other bits such as the 1915 Indianapolis races.

A friend found a clip of live WW2 rounds, which he handed in to a police station.
