Not the best weather to be searching for this, luckily I noticed a hole and scrapped back some earth to reveal the Berntsen. Bagged whilst the family had a look round Linlithgow Palace.

Found easily due to previous hunters keeping it clear of earth.

Under a pepsi bottle just beyond new Chevron sign legs in lay-by. Easy thanks to photos and previous visitors. Thanks :)

Two pepsi bottle lengths to the right.

Buried 5cm deep, with location as per previous descriptions although there is a new double-legged road sign near the fluorescent post at the end of the lay-by. Left open.

Found it this time! The vegetation had died back making the tape-in from the fence post (as per the sketch) much more accurate. Had to clear about 4" of snow off the surface before having a good prod with the tent peg. Previous measurement of 170cm in from the line is bang on. Buried to a depth of around 3". Re-covered it. Also managed to get the car stuck in snow, so the trowel was pressed into service again!

I thought I found the lil feller, but only unearthed a Ford hubcap after a decent times poke n prod... curiously; someone has strip-mined the area a bit closer to the layby.

Struggled with this one for about half an hour in long grass and vegetation. Even with tapes, trowels (forgot the tent peg!), no joy. Will return in winter.

Berntsen was straightforward to find not far from the FBM.

West Lothian. No more difficult than the nearby FBM to find.

Possible to find using only a tape measure and ripping up grass with my hands. Buried nearby was a whole hubcap! Recovered with sods.

Found it at second attempt. Vegetation too high last time. Now mown, the depression beneath the mown grass was obvious.
