Pics for Angela

[Ken (Australia)]

Hi Angela, have attached photos of a few of my bottles. 2 X R.E.Marks, and a Huxley from Crookwell. 2 X B.J. ROLFE, Crookwell and a Mounts Patent from the 1870's (saw one of these on E Bay a while back and they wanted $800, don't know what it went for) and 2 X Cranfield from Young. These are a really beautifull Codd with embossing on the front depicting Moses striking the rock and water pouring out. All are from the late 1800's to early 1900's and I dug them in farm and town dumps. I've got an inn site lined up to go detecting at but am waiting for a bit of rain to soften the ground. Should be a dump or ash heap around there somewhere closeby.

Hello Ken, the bottles are absolutely gorgeous. Can't take my eyes off them. I'm studying every detail! I've found a lot of codds, but unfortunately most were broken. But I've found a Lewis Loan Steam Brewery, Walhalla codd in very good condition, and a Lewis Loans Walhalla Table & Mineral Water lamont with a chipped lip, but most likely still worth something to a collector. Both are known to be rare. Most of the bottles I've found range from assorted wine and porter, Warner Safe Cures, salad oils, castor oils, poisons, inks, hops, sauces, and perfumes, all dug by me. Among that, I've found assorted china doll parts, clay pipes, and more, not including the relics and coins I detect. But I've had a passion for old bottles from years ago. Hope you do really well at your new site. I've also gotten permission to detect and dig for bottles from a local. No one's ever detected or found the dump there! I'll be starting early tommorrow! Thank you for posting the photos, much appreciated!
