Stuff I've foundFreddy Woo writes, "My non-prostitute-killing, lorry driving uncle once came home with a wedding cake. Found it in a layby, scoffed the lot over several weeks."
What's the best thing you've found?

Metal DetectingMy Dad is an avid metal detectorist, which is - according to 'Treasure Hunter' magazine - the World's most fascinating hobby. No, no it isn't. You walk along a beach, swinging this bloody heavy thing as you go, with 'beep...beeeeeeep....bip....beeeeEEEEEeeeep' in your earphones. But he likes it, and that's the main thing.
He has found all sorts: Roman coins, bullets (lots of bullets), rings, necklaces, tin cans, ring pulls, a year's supply of yoghurt.
That last one was a prize in a metal-detecting competition.
I went with him a few times, with his spare machine (oh yeah, he was that into it...spare machines). I found a ring once. That was fun.
