Hi, new here & new to the hobby. Detecting cellar holes in New England woods and getting REALLY good at finding old square nails and rusty iron farm junk. My family owns an 1830s farm house in another state. There's a big trash dump site behind a stone wall where we've found junk junk junk, mid-20th century. Broken bottles, old boots, rusty iron. I mean real trash.
Is it worth excavating all the mid-20th century junk, would it be likely to have older, more interesting stuff below? I haven't gotten over to the property to detect anywhere but I was thinking about starting with the dump. It's a lot of trash to move though.
