I've lived in rural areas most of my life and regularly used to find old bottles out in the woods & even in the desert when I would hike. Sometimes found a bunch dumped along creeks or rivers. Now that I got into metal detecting and then heard from other MD'ers about bottle collecting and how valuable some can be I haven't come across any more dumps...aside from new liquor and beer bottles. Why is that? I went all last winter during & after the storms looking for the current to push in bottles and also during drought when some of the lakes were low and nope haven't found any bottles. (However maybe I shouldn't complain because I did find $10 bill laying by the river a couple weeks ago!)
