Greetings,
Up til now I've done all my hunting underwater, but I've been offered access to a large farm property that's been operational since 1840. The owner indicated the family has been dumping on this lengthy hillside since the 1840's. I picked an area at the base of the hillside where I thought the earliest dumping likely occurred.
I don't have a probe, so I just dug a test hole, about 4' long and about 2' deep.
:
I found nothing in the hole, nor is there anything sticking out from the hillside edge of the hole. Here are some more pics of the area:
I used this old wagon wheel as a guide for where to start the digging; I also walked the length of the grade, and about 100' across, newer trash was evident on the surface.
Question: Should I continue down in this first test hole, or should I start testing on the slope face?
Thanks for any help you provide!
Regards,
DSD
