Where are the old dumps ?

[bombboy]

Hey there Miker, I'm in Gloversville, just up the hill from Fonda/Fultonville. Travel to Albany everyday for work, wondering how many dump sites there are along the way.
Welcome aboard.

Thx for the welcome bombboy. I would imagine there's quite a few dumps along ur way to Albany. They seem to be all over the place near the marsh and river areas. I have Madpaddla to thank for that info.

Miker:
Congrats on the finds. Keep it up. This site is loaded with info. The maps are a real help also. I'm about 2 hrs from albany, got some friends in Saratoga Springs. Best of luck.

Lancaster County PA?

Hey I'm in Lancaster PA. Anyone know where some of the older dumps are around this area? I've dug at the huge dump outside Marietta a bunch of times and never came out with squat. Really interested in any dumps used by Lancaster city in the early days, but also anything else county-wide.

Steve, I found a dump in lancaster once, its rather big and pretty deep i bottomed out around 15 ft in a spot. Cant remeber the exact location without going there again but its behind a school in a woods next to an Army Armory. Im sure you'll find it. If you find anything from York Pa, hold on to it for me since Im hooking ya up []

Do you remember what part of town or anything about the area? I'm not coming up with any armories next to a school.

Hey everybody...steve and digger just gave me an idea. If anyone, or at least as many that can, want to give us an idea of where you are finding your dumps, that would be greatfully appreciated and very helpful to all of us. I dont wanna know where "your" dump or dumps are. Just an idea of say, in what area of ur city or town, and maybe, what landmarks may be around, stuff like that. Maybe we can get an idea and do the research we need to find them in our own areas. A couple ideas so far are near rivers and railroads.

In raviens or naturally sunken areas, swamps, behind foundations, celler holes, etc

In naturally occurring ravines, out in the woods.
