THINGS FOUND IN FIELDS

Pulled in to a field to go spraying , got half way round the headland and disturbed an Emu, stopped at the end of the run to watch it, called a few friends who thought I'd had a liquid lunch. When they arrived it took one look at them, jumped the fence and ran off down the railway line! Best days spraying ever.

Doing some dyking in the rain and a coloured chap (very few these parts) appears from middle of nowhere, not near any houses, soaked through wearing just jeans and t-shirt.
Turns out he was holidaying with his Sri Lankan family at a chalet and had gone exploring. Got his full history then he asked for a go on the quad. Let him have 5 mins in 2nd gear and it made his holiday.

My son was spreading AD digestive at a local farm and found a DJI Mavic drone. He brought it home downloaded the video to the laptop and worked out where it had taken off from and went there with it the next day. Owner was over the moon as it was brand new and he'd searched high and low. Gave him £80 as a reward for bringing it back and being honest.
 
I remember a day's spraying not far from Stonehenge in the summer of 1984. Doing the outside run along the edge and didn't notice a spaced out hippy strumming his guitar sitting against the fencepost. He obviously didn't notice me, the Ford 77 and the trailed sprayer either, so I'm sorry to say he received a dose of growth regulator.
We often to used to get helicopters fooling about and you would be happily minding your own business when a Puma would rise up out of a chalk pit a few yards away.

Prices seem £400 to £2000 so he must have pleased

Can't find a picture, but we had an African Ibis on our wildlife pond, he buttied up to a couple of egrets and we've seen him a couple of times flying over in 2 years

Only thing I've found in the ground are old horse shoes

Someone dumped a stash of porn by one of our test sites. We're not talking about a carrier bag of old Fiesta magazines either, it must have been a good pallet load of grot mags that were of such specialist subject matter it would have made your average aficionado of German or Dutch hardcore niche porn throw up. No attempt was made to hide it, it was just dumped in the middle of one of the fields that skirt the test site.
Is what he told the wife

Don't imagine it was much use without the controller

Not quite in a field but this is what I picked from along the verge past our farm some of it left in the past 24 hours. My neighbour cuts 200m like a lawn so hardly a wilderness. We are 10 minutes drive from takeaways in either direction so they finish them near here, but cannot clutter their car for a few more minutes. Tempted to put up a sign
I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.
On second thoughts, Please take your litter home.

Tents and dog shiit bags. Every year on a block of grazing by the nearest town some good types go camping and abandon everything tents clothes sleeping bags food. Regular for scumbags to have picnics and leave all their shiit on the river bank and in the river.
