Going out to the spot tomorrow (hopefully) and am gonna keep my goal more towards bottles this time, as they are definitely the most plentiful thing found there.

Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? I figured anything old or embossed, but I really don't have much of a clue about this stuff.

Hopefully I will turn up some cool stuff, fingers crossed!

Getting harder to find land to search that isn't owned by someone. Respect. Lot of rain like we are having and I go to the hillside dump areas and riverbanks. Always something getting washed out. If there was a reason to be out there long ago they left trash. Old foundations are a good sign. Look for aqua or amethyst colored glass shards on the surface. Metal objects usually are larger and more obvious and stick out. Could be a sign of a garbage spot. Not all dumps are huge, some where personal dumps, for a club, bar or restaurant. Good luck.

Well, it's not shopping, it's finding, so you get what your luck, skill, and knowledge brings you.
Look for this kind of stuff!
Don't get your hands stabbed by broken glass or metal.
