Default Old town Dump.!

Hi everyone i was wondering. On one of the country roads to town there is a town dump that has been there probably since the 1900's! And they have dumped dirt over it like every year or so. I think. But it is not accessble to people anymore. but i would be aloud. There is a creek right next to it and it make me able to get to the bottom side of the dump just wondering if that would be a good idea thanks. And also my creek in my woods i have seen some old bottles.

Yup should be some good stuff there,But be carefull cuz when you have all that dirt added on top it could be unstable If they dumped old trees & brush etc. it could couse weak areas that could cave in on ya.My brother has an old town dump on his property line and the town still dumps brush etc there and he has had landslides that have spilled onto his property and coused some pretty serious damage and is kinda scary to get close to.I've seen trees that were over 2 foot thick twisted and split that hang precarisly on the edge.

Great find dylan! My brother had a backyard dump on his farm like that. Heed rips warning, be very careful as it will be very unstable. Good luck!

Dylan, I would suggest that you take someone with you when you hunt the dump site - and not go by yourself...that way if you get in a jam - you have someone to help you out (and to help carry all your cool finds)!

Good Luck!
