They'll have belonged to my great great great great grandfather.
I come from a very long line of ginger smugglers and hamster breeders .
The ginger would make its way from the Norfolk broads , to Tipton, via the canal network. Once it reached Tipton, teams of ginger workers would use lathes to turn ginger plugs of all sizes . Most of the ginger plugs were taken back to Norfolk for resale , but Wales also had a lively ginger Market.
On a more serious note. I bought my good lady a metal detector a couple of years ago , but she still hasn't gotten around to using it.
