Very excited. I had a hunch about this area. Normally I metal detect, but I've been getting frustrated with the hobby trying to find good spots. I was detecting in our old town a few weeks ago along the creek and my foot slipped showing an old bottle in the dirt. I finally just went back to the location and really looked around down near the bottom of the hills closer to the creek. There is this weird flat area at the bottom of the creek drop off on one part of the bank. I started walking around and sure enough.. JACKPOT.. Old bottles everywhere. Lots of broken ones, clearly the old dump area as there was random metal junk sticking up and a lot of these weird black tubes probably 8" in diameter from 6" to 3 feet in length.. They were EVERYWHERE. But anyway I didn't even really do any digging. Just walked around collecting what I could find. I left a ton behind that had cracks in them, shame too cause some where old colored glass with raised lettering but broken. I found these in about 15mins in about a 5000sq/ft area. Trouble is the area is totally flat.. could be a pain to dig up. The craziest thing where these 2 old light bulbs about 20' apart from each other just sitting up on the dead leaves.
