Thanks for posting. I'm excited to go out and try this. Maybe a metal detector to look for junk metal once a spot like this is found will help pinpoint any dumping.

Great info. I need to get back out in the woods again, I miss it. I have a dump I need to tap into this fall, just need the time!

its the same thing here , where I live is mostly forested now but 100 years ago all the trees were cut down due to logging and attempted farming . the logging lasted for a few years until all the trees were gone and farming never really worked out expect in a few pockets in this area there is still the odd farm .
its not impossible to find the old farm sites here however they are so grown in you'd rarely find anything

Thanks for the replies guys. Interesting to hear how other people read the woods trees around their neck of the woods
