Here's the scoop. in a town 20 min from home is a river with a slope that gradually goes up about 10-15 meters, up to about 50 meters away from the shore, then it steeply goes up another 10 meters or so. The whole general area about 2 km along this slope was and is clearly a dumping grounds, at least at the top steep slope. Mostly modern stuff like 70's modern, but more likely most of it was from the 80's i'm assuming.
Now there is one area which sits starting just below the steep slope, and is about 10-15 meters wide, but about 100 meters long. Its like a "level" you could say, where at the end of it on the river side, it drops 6-8 feet, then is kinda bumpy, then it drops that again down to the river side.
Ok this dump area on the top has alot of old concrete work from not really new looking, prolly 50 years old maybe, to stuff that looks like stone comglomerate which is actually foundation pieces. Some of it is square and hollow inside like it was a sewer channel or something, other pieces have old clay pipes going through them or inside them. Then theres a couple big tires like tractor tires. Then there is one area on the right most side of it, there has to be 100 regular car tires, they look kinda old. Right in the middle of the tires is an car frame. Ive found 2 licence places below this level, one is from 1970 which i'm assuming is that old car, it looks to be that age. The other is a extreamly rusted licence place from 1952.
So I have somewhat of an upper age here. Theres a old fridge too i saw.
Now there is glass all throughout this dump. There is many broken parts of the rectangular "cures" type of bottle, they look like cork tops mostly, i have not seen one screw on top yet. Theres pieces of fruit jars, and pieces of the glass lids. Most of the glass is the pale blue-green colour. Seen a spot that had a few broken purple coloured glass lids. Theres some china areaoun all broken etc. Alot of the blue-green glass stuff does look old, i wish it were whole.
Ive picked out a few spots where i'm gonna go back and dig in and see whats going on here because I don't exactly understand if this is a dump like I think it is, or its something else, but i'll find out.
I found one whole bottle, its small, nice blueish colour, lots of bubbles in it, is looks older. Idea on age? I really like this one. It has this waxy feel to the glass.
here is a few tops i took. Any age on these also?
Thanks
If the weather is ok i'm going back tommorrow with a little shovel to poke around.
