More diving finds

[aussiebottlo]

Went diving in the Darling river yesterday behind old homestead. There has been an old pub on this site dating back to the 1860s these are some of the better finds. The gin with the blobby top is a v Hoytema & co.

Those are great looking finds John. Whats the tall bottle?

 

[aussiebottlo]

Warren, The tall bottle is a New South Wales lager Bier, this is the first one I have found, as soon as I felt it under water I knew what is was even though I couldnt see it.
I cant wait to get back there next week.

Nice haul there! Are those gins pontiled? and what is on those little cups?

Like Wayne says, diving is the really the only spot left for finding bottles, so keep up the good work.

 

[aussiebottlo]

Miles, the flared lip gin is pontiled the others arent.

The little pots are Holloways ointment pots " FOR THE CURE OF~ GOUT AND RHEUMATISM, INVETERATE ULCERS , SORE BREASTS, SORE HEADS, BAD LEGS & c" sounds like good stuff hey

Hey, Aussiebotlo...

Nice "wet" finds and clean too... sure make a Northern New England bottle diver jealous... [&o] But warmer days are coming in about 3 to 4 months maybe...[:'(]

In the meantime, I'll just have to go to the library and look up all those New spots I'm gonna be diving when the ice melts!![&:]

You take care down there and be safe... those three gins are quite nice... all with different tops and all.. nice area to keep diving, ey...[]

Thanks Wayne, dont have to wait for the warmer weather here it was 45deg C here yesterday.

All these bottles were in the mud so they came out nice and shiny and clean.
