Not sure how to do this, but just joined. I've dug on the Cape and
I'm looking on some old farms in RI for dumps. Does anyone know
where on farm layout they dumped garbage? Someone told me it
would be on NE corner for smell and in valley of property. Let me know
if anyone has ideas.

It tends to depend on the farm. Usually they would dump into low places, so if there's a ravine or creek that'll most likely be your best place to find bottles. On farms with flat land it's a lot tougher and there often isn't any surface evidence of the older dumps, although dumps from the 50s will usually still be visible and may have older things deeper down.

I'm thinking about renting a mini excavator for a weekend and hitting his place hard I literally could dig there every day for the rest of my life and not go through half of it. The town it is in was started in the early 1800s is on the Mississippi River and I believe this is where the town dumped garbage starting from the earliest time to win they got an actual dump site in the forties. The deeper I dig the older the bottles get.

If any of you guys are interested it's in Helena Arkansas come on down and dig there's plenty of bottles LOL I bet you there is a million bottles there that's no exaggeration.

Sounds like fun, wish I lived closer. I know of a similar dump here in Michigan, it's a town dump as big as a football field, or more. At the back of the dump if you look over the back edge it's gotta be 40 feet down so 40 feet deep. at the front only 10 feet high. BUT, Like you it would take more then a lifetime to dig & I also thought about renting a mini bulldozer/excavator? Good Luck. LEON.
