Finally got around to takeing photos of the finds last week.

This is what I got, I'll ask Chris to post his in this thread too. There is five different John Fletcher Codd's from Warrnambool, a Martin lamont from North Fitzroy, and a few crown seals and junk, I've done better but it's not too bad for two days (three days really but I didn't get anything the first day). There is a bit more not in the photo but nothing significant.

I also found a broken Alfred Darby Warrnambool 13Oz Dobson Codd with the Iron cross trade mark, these are exceptionally rare and I don't think there is a complete one, it's the first bit of one I've ever seen.

Here is a close up of the J.Martin with the bird (Martin) trade mark, these are fairly hard to get. Bottle was made by Kilner Bros in England. Fitzroy is an inner suburb of Melbourne.

Funny you should ask that [:D] , I've been looking at it in all different lights and been hopeing it's going to be the first amethyst Warrnambool Codd I've seen and in that photo it really looks like it is. I've found a lot of more modern clear codd's from there that don't change though, this one is older, I'll know for sure in a few months I suppose [;)] .

I like that big crown top cordial on the far left. If you'd ever like to trade it for something let me know. Maybe I have it or can find it!
