I found a dump last summer. it is between an old railway bed and a creek. Basically the dump is actually two which are about 150 feet apart and were dumped down the steep slope which is between the bed and the river below. The surface stuff looks pretty modern to me but theres a whole lot of stuff compacted in them, and im not sure how deep it may go at the bottom of the slope etc. Tons of leaves, i need to bring a rake and a shovel with me when I go back. Theres lots of glass, ive seen a bike frame, a bunch of other stuff, just pretty much a jumble of everything it looks on the surface.
here are some pics, maybe someone can guesstimate a possible age from what I found so far.
On left to right:
Rauleigh's (sp?) trade mark
nesbitt's
ketchup bottle perhaps?
Pepsi
Henry Wampoles .. it's hard to read the writing.
and this last broken top gives me hope that there is some older stuff under there somewhere.
The railroad that was once there goes back to the 1890's, ive found old coal all along the sides along most of the bed.
I'm guessing pretty modern, farmer's been dumping this across the railway on the other side of his farm field.
