Looking for some advice from more experienced bottle diggers here, I’m trying to find the source of a pre 1900 farm dump on my property, I know which hill it was on but the hill is huge, has a few different slightly flat spots, also has ravines but I don’t think they are natural, I think they have something to do with the area being underground mined back in the 1900-1920s. I live in an old mining ghost town so There is no maps or any info to help me. I’ve found a few bottles and lots of shards, horse shoes and other metal objects not deep under the ground throughout the hill but can’t seem to figure out where it’s coming from. I’ve been told to look for depressions in the ground and there is a few but I would think those were from mines. The ground is really rocky and hard to probe. I haven’t bothered to look for a privy being I have no idea where the farmhouse was. Any help or tips is appreciated! Thank you
