how the hell do you suddenly find a pair of shells that size in a scrap yard!?! its not as if the pile had been there that long! if it had the bloke would have been worth a fair bob if he had sold it back in the day

that is being sarcastic as well, i take it someone had decided to weigh them in or they had simply been un-earthed by the disruption of the pile of scrap....

My local scrappers would take anything!!

i think they were only small ones, like 50mm or something, mind you there still be long, but yeah the scrap yard had a clear around, and im guessing they were under the pile of scrap thats been there donkies, i mean ive lived on the isle of wight for 12 years and uptill last year a fcuk off great mound of scrap metal never moved, and yes the owner is worth some money, he owns the only 2 scrap yards on the isle of wight now
