Green fingers unearths 1,500 bullets

AN ENTHUSIASTIC gardener is lucky to have all of his green fingers after a shock find behind the home he bought just last year.

Frank Deegan was making hay while the sun shone on Sunday until he found more than 1,500 bullets in the clay, that is.

He was digging away, preparing for grass he hoped to roll out over the plot over the coming days when he made the find in Mooncoin, close to the Kilkenny/Waterford border.
