well if you want to try i havent been to these 2 in 15 years or more just north of malone road and almeden rd there is an old water plant of some kind along the creek its fenced off but we used to ride bikes along the old paths and always alot of glass there never really looked just find away to get along the creek and just kinda wounder along there was alot of old glass all over that creek another is along the creek at the corner of lincoln and coe right below the bridge i found a hoboken gin just the top was exposed in the side of the creek wall you might just take a hike along that creek and check it out let me know if you do i will check around the old minnisota willow glen area and see if any houses were removed always had good luck in the willow glen area when someone was building alot of trash pits well good luck i will keep my eyes open for ya i cant dig anymore but i still know some of the area talk to ya later

and thanks for the refresher doug of the pontil
