Landfill in Eastern Long island Closed since 1940s

[JohnnyThunders]

There a small landfill that closed a few blocks from my brother house in Eastern Long island since the 40s or mid 50s....
Would hate to go there during the Summer because there are tons of Ticks...
So I guess I will have to hunt in the Fall or early Spring Only?
Just wondering what you good folks think of detecting in a Small Very Old Landfill with a Whites DFX?
Lots of Useless Junk or maybe some good Junk JT

Hi JT,

I would probably try to research it first to see if there was any indication of what type of landfill it was...mainly residential stuff or general use with some industrial fill (truthfully, I don't always research, but it can help in a big way). Either way, I'd go in with no discrimination and see how trashy it is, then, depending on how bad it is, increase the dicrimination until you get some good indications. It is is old enough, some of the "bad" targets might be interesting too. I'd dig some of them initially to see what you were dealing with. If there is a lot of iron, sometimes a smaller coil can help hunt inbetween the iron and you can find some good stuff.

I don't know if you'll find anything worthwhile, but if you've ever worked in, or been around a present day dump or landfill, you'll see that people throw away some interesting things sometimes.

Let us know how it works out. HH!
