A bullet is unearthed and painstakingly cleaned in a soggy field covered in chopped greenery and the mangled remains of a sugarbeet crop. Other treasures have included musket balls. On the east bank of the Trent is Syerston Airfield, but more distant military history includes the positioning of Cromwell's troops in that area, hence the interesting pickings.
