Hi folks,
I am very lucky to have been given access to the property of some 1880's farmland before it is sold. The owners tell me there is a dumpsite on the property but they aren't sure where. I am bringing my metal detector but farther than that, I am unsure of how to proceed to locate it. Out of privacy for the owners and their land, I cannot give a location, but here is a screenshot of the land. Extra frustrating because any history that may exist on the internet is covered up by news articles concerning the land. The red circle indicates the house that the land belongs to, the whole field behind it is on their land.
Do late 1800s dumpsites (or any for that matter) follow any sort of pattern? Is there a place based on the geography here I should look around in? I am new to hunting on land. I have watched a lot of videos of dump digs and read a lot of posts on here about it but I am still at a loss.
Best,
