You mob have tormented me.

Up till now I have been very happy using my modest selection of chinese cast iron.
Just happy to cook a good roast, stew, curry or cake while I am camping or in the back yard.

Now I found myself getting round like a zombie with eyes glazed over with the thoughts of finding an elusive Furphy in some dark corner with a small price on it.

I am ruined for life.
You'll all being hearing from my lawyer.  Cheesy

Thanks TBF, that's very strong support for the viewpoint I stated re. old ovens on auction.

Now, what Aussie law are we talking about?  It has to be international trade laws re. me. 

I'd be bidding and have the little black baby sent to a 'temporary caring home' to await pick up by me.

Was talking to a mate on the weekend about campin etc and he innocently  tells me that his dad has a set of camp ovens.

"6 or 8 of them I think" he says " Had them since I can remember"

The Soot is weak at the knees, drooling ; has to sit as he plans his long range attack to obtain this collection.

" You alright " he asks " Ya look a bit funny"

'I'm OK" as I plan the perfect crime. Conversation drifts from the treasure  to fishing and such.

"Wot sorta camp ovens ya old man got, any writin on em, e use em much?

" Yea sum writin on um, one a big sucker n they go down in size as I remember. Thinkin one is a big oval one"

Murder is lurking in the back of the mind as The Soot sits staring into space.

'Sure ya OK? look a bit funny to me, here I'll ya get another beer.
Bloody things were goin rusty out in the shed last time I was down there."

"I better get ya missus ya look a bit crook ta me, ere av a rum ta fix ya up'

The Soot cries silently into the glass of rum, drinks it, then remembers he hates rum

The Soot has resigned himself to a long and drawn out battle to obtain a set of CO's, make unknown, over 50 years old for $500

No stone will be left unturned, every  means fair or foul will be in play

Have no idea what they are Derek, could be a mixture but who cares.
Must be so many quietly rusting away out there.
Can remember them being used for dogs water containers as a boy and they weren't 9"

Agree with ya Sooty, murder is a small price to pay for a set.
Going back to the story I told at the beginning of this thread, my missus said,
"Well how much are you prepared to pay for this full set of Furphys ?" and of course the only answer from me was, "As much as he wants."
I have heard plenty of stories, maybe urban myths, about collections of CI pots that people have seen or heard of, I'll just have to keep looking.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens  for what I told her I paid for them. pd
