About 5 years ago my wife and I moved to a small town in Ohio. We purchased a 1930's house with about 2 acres (most of it wooded). Bout a year later, my oldest son was playing in the woods and noticed a pottery shard sticking out of the dirt. He started digging which led to the discover of crocks, bottles, pipes, locks, junk, etc.......Anyhow we had a ball digging this stuff up (all in a 3 foot area). I thought this was just coincidence until he was in another part of the woods and started finding the same things. This time we dug a small trench about 2 foot wide and 4 foot long. We pulled out 50 - 60 complete bottles, about 100 white ceramic lids, etc....... Anyhow, the older lady across the street confirmed that the property I live on used to be the dump for an old farm down the road. SOOOO I am asking for advice. What is the best way to determine where to dig next, how do I do it without breaking stuff, what do you do with 5 gallon buckets of old bottles?? My guess is there not worth much, but there cool.
