Got out over easter and had a few finds, all the stuff below came out of one hole plus a heap more common/plain stuff I piffed back as it was too much to carry, also got a tea pot, a plate and the rusty remains of two pistols.

The best here is the two blue top Frankston Springs ginger beers, one with a sea monster TM and the other with FSCo, there is a few different poisons in blue and green, a few chemists and sauce bottles plus a Sperm Sewing Machine Oil (sperm whale oil).
The 8 bottles on the left are phenyle's with six different names on them (all members of the Vic. Disinfectant Manufacturers Association - VDMA, could use the bottles of that registered design).
There is also a nice bud vase that's complete and a doll head etc. plus a heap of other bottles.
It was fun and as a mate of mine said "if only every hole was like that" [:D] .

Those round bottles are a teracotta bud vase with most of the lip missing and a small glass bottle that had carbolic smoke in it, I've seen an old add reproduced in a club magazine advertising carbolic smoke balls with a picture of one of them in it, it was like a smelling salts.
The white things near the bottom of the photo are doll heads, a toy teacup and a very small statuette that's a bit the worse for wear.

There was so much stuff in that hole it was hard to get them out in places, I broke one nice chemist bottle by standing on it before I dug down to it [:eek:] . That 3 pound crock thingy in the back of the photo is nice, it's saltglaze and mint but nothing on it exept the number "3".
