Im still searching for my 1st nugget but im in no rush, im having fun finding other cool stuff.
Here's a few old bottles i dug up near Hepburn area.
There's only 1 bottle with marking on the bottom the initials are A,R i think they might be from the 1800s.

And a couple of other goodies from the same hole.
I got a signal so i started digging, it must of been a dumping ground because there were broken plates,more broken bottles and a **** load of pegs and nails and some big ass bone.

Not really. I found them on a steep slope, was a lot of smashed glass and i was there for over 2 hrs digging them out. The thought of gold came racing back into my head so i filled it back in, then went searching for my 1st nugget.

Some bottles in that hole may be worth more than the gold u may find . Hope u remember where it is so you can go back there again
Gaz.

I used to find and sell a lot of standard bottles like milk, cream and ointments. Most start from $10 on the shelf no matter what condition.

Cordials and marble bottles start at $30 depending on brand and detail

Cobalt blue bottles are popular and usually have a slight price increase.

Clay bottles start at $20
