How do you figure out where to dig

[Timelypicken]

I’m new to bottle digging, but I don’t know were to dig. I own a property with a 1920’s feed and seed elevator on it so I was thinking on digging there. What are your thoughts. Thanks

depends on the area , if there is old farms or properties around , they might be an option .

if you saw signs of dumping or such , often dumps are located in places slightly hidden away from where they lived .

not familiar enough with your area or property to suggest a specific location at this point

I live in a really small town in Missouri

rural properties are often a good place to check , you may have to do research to figure out what was in your area in the years past , old maps often help me figure that out

Go on line and look at a sanborn map of your area. It will show you where the building, privies and wells were located at the time the map was made.
