I dug a lump of rust and metal up as we prepped the base for a concrete rainwater tank. I knew it was a gun even though it was just a mass of rust and in showing a mate a few years later he said " give it to me and I will sort it out.
He dropped it into a molasses tub for three weeks and buffed it on a wire wheel then mounted it on the plaque. I hadn't heard of the sugar fix at the time.
It was buried because? Murder,bank job,some sort of crime presumably and a few years later in the late 90`s the local copper called in and over a cuppa i pointed it out to him on the wall and I said "you never know it might be the missing link to a crime in Serpentine many years before i found it" He looked at me and replied "fascinating"
That was that then,no wonder he stayed Constable. I moved states and it was placed into a box and today the box was opened for the first time in eight years. 'ah some on the SD might ID it" Over to you fella`s.
If it was actually a murder weapon and a long ago crime was solved by its discovery Constable Fred B might have to answer ha ha.
