Nice mix. Sure looks like the ground is tough there.

Id be getting my sifter out in a hurry in a spot like that - sifting old dumps has been more interesting and productive than I ever imagined...

Calling car91,

You've found some interesting glass shards. That car is part of an old candy container. Have you dug deeper?
