Round where you are Redhunter I often see pile drivers tapping piles into the former marsh that is severnside. I have always thought that one day one is going to hit an old ww2 bomb. My grandfather said there were lots dropped that way after failing to drop on Filton airfield and the Germans didn’t want to fly back with them. Nice find btw.

@thedts

Its only a matter of time before a pile driver and 1000Kg bomb from ww2 interface will occur.

Very close to where I live was a Starfish site... and near you the HAA Rockingham.

ww2 german bomb

I found a dishcloth on tonight's blast, the last find was a dog bowl, I'm working my way up to something interesting.

It's fairly standard to do UXO surveys before piling if there's any chance there are bombs in the ground.

What does that actually consist of? I didn't think GPR could go very deep with any resolution.
