Hi everyone,
Went out last Friday but didnt really find much so went back today and this is one of the best finds (uncleaned)
The big hole is acually melted in it so maybe a flak hit?
I will post the othe finds tomorrow.

Wow a top find and even better it tells its story.
These don't come up very often (Unless of course you're Birddog) one day I hope to dig one of these oxy bottles but so far my sites have been lacking. But and thats whats great about this hobby you never know whats just around the corner and what the next find will be? So I'll keep digging and hoping.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing it cleaned, hopefully it'll have some markings.
Great Find all the best mate.

Hi Andy,

Well ... this one's certainly in better condition than the first one you found on this site!! Needless to say ... I'll be going back to the site next week ... Also, can't wait to see the US manufactured coke bottles and the Bendix chin turret component ...

Some of the coke bottles. We find loads of these but these are my first bottles that acually came from the US 99% are from the UK. The pepsi cola bottle is quite cool to.
Next are a couple of Horlick's lunch tablet bottles (nice to have both sizes) and a couple of medical bottles.
A compleat mug and other bits and bobs.
Be right back with more in a moment.

And a canteen mug handle.
A machetti handle.
A really nice match safe.
Oxygen mask conector and part of a headset.
