Well I got my certificate (Thanks Ray) donned high vis and rocked up at the tip, or should I say dig.
I should have known, the car park was rammed with some of the shiniest A8 & S8's on the planet, and the landscape awash with busy shovels and bleeping metal detectors.
The lads on the gate where happy as Larry and charging for entry. I tried to explain that this was an official door handle recovery operation but they weren't having it and I had to pay a fiver to get in.
Anyway, to update. Hours of digging and sifting have left me with a sore back, two computers (broken), three compliments on my spade wielding, four candles and five hundredweight of assorted bottle tops and empty crisp packets, and a toaster.
Despite several cries of joy from other diggers the handle has yet to be found.
I now depart somewhat discouraged and leave the ongoing mission to discover parts unknown, to the rest of you.
Good luck
