Having spent 2 weeks every year from the ages of 11 to 16 gathering
potatoes (tattie howkin) in Angus fields, I am very impressed that someone
actually found one in this environment. Lots of small dark basaltic stones
covered in damp soil to reject. Given the timing of the article in
October, I am wondering if Mr Elliot was following the digger around with
a metal detector.

Regards,
John
