I think it would be cool to team up with some people from the area. I found a very large area that has about 10 cellar holes and lots of small sectioned of rock wall areas out in the woods.. Someone from the area told me it was an old stage coach stop and with tavern and store back in the late 1700s..
I went there by myself once and I couldn't find anything
1.) I'm a newbie when it comes to knowing where to dig for bottles
2.) The place is huuuuge.
Also not sure of the legality of digging here but if you're down I'm down haha its.middle of nowhere CT. In the woods.
I think a team of people out there would be better even if I didn't find something I just have a feeling theres alot out there that hasn't been found. And be cool to learn from people with more experience.
Or if anyone wants to trade locations I want to know of more town dumps or areas I could check in CT for bottles..
I have this 1700's location and a park that produced a 1788 mass colonial cent (if you metal detect too lol)
I have a few other cool areas as well some I haven't even checked out yet..

I'm going down to West Haven on 6/16 for surgery, but I might have a day or two here and there to make a quick road trip.
Keep me in mind.
My first thoughts about town dumps are that they need to be down wind of town... Around here, - and probably a lot of places where there were rivers, people just chucked everything over the bank because, you know... water cleans up trash... And to make it worse, where they didn't dump it into the rivers, they dumped it in what is now state land- and to make parking lots for the hunters and wildlife enthusiasts, they plowed the dumps out- so they're spread like 1-2 feet max. Then you hit the water- because water is everywhere around here whether you see it or not.
