[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 326862, member: 751"] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4429/1493449471_img_0521.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4429/1493449497_img_0522.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4429/1493449587_img_0514.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4429/1493449619_img_0515.jpg[/img] Only my second night hunt but gave up on the tools and found this in Newcastle at an excavation site at Newcastle Beach. I am happy to tell you the location because I am in Brisbane and have no intention moving back to NSW. It is called a "Stick Bottle" originally called a Hogben & Barretts Patent. It was made for the Moore's cordial and soft drink company in Newcastle and imported to Newcastle from London. It has the Moore's company name embossed on it with this cool male lion also who reflecting the times and ability of the embossing,it also has the original rubber ring still in it stopping the contents leaking out. It has no cracks that I can see but some fine scratches. I also found plenty of other old bottles which I gave away but this one is the best by far. I am stunned that so many old bottle where just lying on the top or close to the surface unsmashed considering an exavator had been rolling over them. I did have more time but only look for one night being too tired and too dumb 8.( If you want to look at more photo's I have it on Ebay. [/QUOTE]
