as I was leaving, bummed out that there were no cans, I spotted this sucker. Now, it know it's a goner, but...do I keep searching? Where there's one there should be others, yes?
I found a huge dump, mostly glass but...

Any chance there's another section of this dump nearby?? I'd say if you found one cone there's a good chance there are more there somewhere!

Surface can that has been above ground for 65+ years. Did you hit the area with a detector? Good luck, but need to find buried cans to get better condition....

Re: I found a huge dump, mostly glass but...
Thanks guys. I did not hit it with a metal detector. There is scrap metal everywhere. Pretty sure this was a farm or a town dump at one point. A ton of clam shells too. :(
I won't be able to go back for a month or two unfortunately, but it's right behind my mom's house so it'll be easy to get to once I go home again.
I'm dreaming of digging deep in another section and finding cone top gold! I've been bitten by the bug. I pray it's not all glass and shells.
At least I did also find, and harvest, about 20 pounds of hen of the woods mushrooms so it wasn't a total bust! lol

Re: I found a huge dump, mostly glass but...
Maybe I'll try and soak the can when I get home too, just to see what it was. If that's even possible.
