A burst water main flooded a storage facility in Melbourne 's inner north on Saturday night .

The water main burst with enough pressure to flood the basement of the facility in Coburg .

The flowing water pushed open the doors of the storage facility and swept some archaeological samples down the street.

At least some of the items have been recovered by ABC Radio host and part-time fossil-rescuer Sammy J.

The museum is urging people to be on the lookout for samples that may be from the facility.
