Don't wake Hermann with that spade!

Its too bad they can't steam the HE out, and save the casing for a museum display.
 
Thanks for the link.

Would it be normal practice to have one guy digging and 2 guys standing around watching from only a few feet away. Surely if it goes bang then its better to lose one person and not 3 (I'm just a collector and not EOD so just wondering)?

Nah.....our council do that while digging up the road too :xd:
 
Our road workers are the same way, one guy with a shovel and 3 supervisors.

There is a story about a guy who was driving by a road crew and he saw the shovel guy pounding his shovel down on top of a snail on the ground. He asked the guy why he was killing the snail and the reply "The damn thing has been following me around all day."
