hahaha, i found a cone made from a VB can about 6 months ago and it was still packed with hooch!.....its actually stitting in the shed still packed too haha.
 
my last hunt down the gold coast -

Have too many Miniature flower pots these days. The hard part is cleaning the black tar out of them...

Am waiting for a fresh find and then to get stopped by some boys in Blue with a sniffer dog :)

Hate a place where there have been a few DIY people...

The ally off cuts and the flattened cone pieces can give some good TID's but usually no coin around :)

So you get these clean AM????

Here's a tip (from a ciggy smoker)....put them in a bowl with 2-3 'Polident" or other denture cleaner, and then pour about 3-500 ml of boiling water (slowly) over them, enjoy the bubbling show, then allow to sit o'night.....clean up nice and shiny with a paper towel after rinsing.....

True enough Smoky, but as it's recorded as a 'find' and likely displayed with 'other' finds...they'd have to be right mongrels to prosecute...

Buuuut, it is possible, so better to err on the side of caution eh?. ;)
