found an old summer camp or cottage dump near a lake

[RCO]

heard a story from parents friend who lives nearby that he had spotted an old dump with old coca cola bottles when out for a walk in this area a few years ago near a large summer camp on a small lake . he sort of explained to them where it was and so I went out for a walk today and after some searching was able to find it . its actually a bit older dump than I though I'd find , was expecting more 50's-60's or even newer but it seems to be from late 30's-early 40's , mostly metal cans and ketchup bottles , really wasn't anything good that wasn't broken . one old whiskey bottles was not broken and so were some jars and one odd jar like bottle I found .found at least 5 broken brown's beverages embossed bottles , the common local soda for this area at that time and 2 coca cola bottles and several broken green 7 oz bottles as well . not likely be able to go back to this location this year as deer season starts next week and if camp spotted anyone in that area they'd assume you were trespassing for that purpose and get in trouble . and then likely snow once that's over anyways .

there's tons of cans but everything is too rusty to tell what it was . however they looked more like food cans than beer cans . I'm still trying to determine the origins of this dump , its near a summer camp and might be from it . however I looked at an old map and it shows property as having previously been owned by someone else who may have tried to farm or log the location in early 1900's . from what I know camp bought all these lots in late 40's-50's so dump might of been there before they bought it or they made it not sure yet .
