SA dig 12 ....

Love the crooked neck and lip on this one!

Might as well just tag dig 13 onto this... dug the lane again on Friday. As this was dig 13 I should have expected problems ~ dug down onto huge masses of rusty metal ~ wonder if they buried a ruddy locomotive here ! Managed to get these out and thought it was a rather thin day ...

... but as I was filling in the hole, this popped out of the spoil:

A little chip and some rust, but it certainly brightened up the day !

Nice finds!

I've got a sir murrays fluid magnesia as well! how much do they go for? also what time period do they date to? the english bottles always throw me off. Thanks!

Hi Erik; a lot of info on Sir J Murray & his inventions on Google ! He was known as the discoverer of Milk of Magnesia. The bottles date from 1880s through into the early 1900s and also come (rarely) in green. Value ? There's one on E-bay for $40 - doubt they will get that.
