had seen this location on some older maps , a dump near a lake and some older resorts and cottages . when checking out the site it appears the actual "dump" has long since been closed and " sealed " with fill and such . but when walking around the property I discovered a large amount of glass and older trash near the road in some trees , it appears to be the " close enough " dumping area or dumping when dump was closed for the day . but still a lot of stuff there mostly from 50's-60's era

not a lot of pop bottles , did find a few broken shards , a broken sun crest bottle , and a muskoka dry ginger ale bottle and a stubby pop bottle

That Dukane beer can a good interesting can. With it's light rust it would clean up good & easily with a acid bath. Not rare & common but a decent can from the early to mid 1950's I'm guessing. You should look for more beer cans. I'd be Interested in them & pay good money for rare ones. LEON.

plan to go back in the next week or so and see what else is there , that is in pretty bad shape , other side almost all rust . I'm not really sure what else is there , a lot of junk on the surface and not sure how deep it actual goes or if there is older bottles further down

Might be bad shape but I'd pay $100 or more for a can in that shape if a rare one. LEON.

plan to go back in next couple of days , will post some pics if I find anything interesting , you never really know what might be in that sort of dump , an odd mix of locals , cottagers and tourists may have used it back then , I wouldn't be surprised to find more American items based on location

On a lake here in Michigan I found a Ravine dump. Some old Canadian flat top beer cans were found in the dump & I assumed must of been from some Canadian tourist or visitor's. LEON.
