Having spent 2 weeks every year from the ages of 11 to 16 gathering potatoes (tattie howkin) in Angus fields, I am very impressed that someone actually found one in this environment. Lots of small dark basaltic stones covered in damp soil to reject. Given the timing of the article in October, I am wondering if Mr Elliot was following the digger around with a metal detector.
