Whitelock & Carters Tailors [1871-1944] "the days of free give aways"
Hi all,Went out to a site where once stood a couple of local traders outlets once stood.At the back of the area is a small dump pit which several of traders used for a period of time.The was Whitelock & Carter tailors store and unkown Butcher shop and Wilson'general store.Spent to hours tracing scattering of shards and items to main pit.Dig a bit and found the pit.
The only disappointment is the fact ,in past lots of these pits were burnt. 
.
I found a small brass tape measure[damaged] which i think was a purchase give away.Such giveways were common in the past.Often embossed as free advertizing.Also found a Aussie penny first issue to warn for date[1911-1936]
.A East Africa Shilling with a big cut in it.Its quite common to find british colony coins here as the local mining companies owned gold mines in few different colonies.
also found half a cermic gingerbeer bottle.
Today i,m going to hit the pit big time and hope to find a few more local advertizing giveaways and treasure may be."May be" "May be" lol
