key word at this point would be trying , around 2013 I metal detected an old farm property near where I live and located an old dump site . it was fairly small and found because it contained old flat head nails .
in terms of bottles mostly old whiskey , an old ketchup , wine bottle , a couple small corked bottles and an old insulator . seemed to be from late 1890's or early 1900's
I haven't dug at the site since but obviously wonder if there is anything else there to be found , its currently all forested with small trees like red pine and maple . but at one point this lot was a farm type property according to old maps .
so on the weekend I poked around briefly with a metal detector and found several metal items but no old nails .
metal items included an old shovel , old hinge ,metal bars , bucket handle and a couple unidentified items all metal . all the metal items were found in a small 20 ft by 20 ft area and virtually no hits anywhere out of it , so perhaps a building or something there at some point ?
I walked around and can't visually see the place I dug at back then and I would of cleaned up most of the stuff I dug out so isn't a pile of trash lying around there either
