Hey Cools, your so called 'rubbish finds' are certainly interesting to us Wiki Peeps. Nice one, you. x

(Well done, keep it up)sounds a bit patronising and teacher-like in my book)

think digging deeper is nearer on those bolt things. They are toothed plate connectors used when joining several timbers together. Possibly from formwork when placing concrete or baulk timbers edging slipways or making timber beams or pillars

Be very careful if you see rusty handles in the pebbles - Its still possible to pull up an unexploded Mine or bomb from the Second World War! Jerry used to drop the surplus stuff in the river in the hopes of blowing up some unfortunate Liverpudlian or Seacombeite! frown Linuxfanatik

Very true. My Grandad (nearly 95 years old) has told me about un-exploded hand grenades being flung in the Mersey, post war.

Thanks for the warning folks. That would be my luck, blowing myself up. I must admit when I do come across a big chunk of metal I always think is it a bomb. I will be careful, don't want to go out with a bang....
