Old finds.

Here,s something I tried, The lead soldiers in the photo where found 29 years ago, if you have Google earth you can actually go right to the almost exact location within 2 feet, hard to believe? try this .........
On Google Earth go to Tilbury Powerstation Tilbury Essex England,
51"27'14.12N  0"24'10.51"E  you will see the sunken hull of an old London barge just in front of this old vessel about the middle of it is where this whole row of soldiers had washed out of the shore line.
I used to work on the station ,and during slow times "which were many" I used to walk this fore shore, as it was the dumping ground back in Victorian times for London there are many interesting things turning up just along from this barge you will see two others probably sunk to stop errosion.......There are also two old forts going downstream toward the sea that produced buttons from the early 1700s.........HH   Johnnn
