We think this dump is a village dump,even though its a good 2 miles from the village.
This is kind of odd,usually small village dumps are in or on the edge of the populated areas.
It may very well have started life as a farm dump and just grown from there.Its also quite possible that the land was much lower (maybe as much as 25')and was filled in over the years,what leads me to believe this is there are a number of large cedar trees in a line across the side of the ravine.
I have found when locating dumps that ravines along road sides contain a vast storehouse of dump items.
And for you new diggers just getting into the field (or dump) the best way to find a dump when going down a road is to think of places you would dump things fast an unseen,then check those places out and 3 out of 4 times you'll find a dump.
And not just country roads but major highways.
I have found dumps even along super highways!!!
I'll try to impart a little of my knowledge from time to time,DaveJ.
