that animal tag is pretty cool. I can't quite tell if that's a cat or a dog... Looks like Mr. Fanning is in for a surprise!

what are those things that look like concrete corn on the cobs?

No one knows yet. A friend dug some a few weeks back at the same spot. Digging model A ford parts too. Its an unusual dump.

Did you do some research in finding this spot or did you stumble on to it? Either way you are coming up with some great finds.

Well that is an interesting thing. Most dumps are either in or near creeks or near railroads. This particular spot is along a creek. Its in a strange parcel of land and I've always suspected it was there. Out of curiosity, I checked it out 2 months ago and discovered holes dug long ago. Someone had been there and didn't like it. I on the other hand believe treasure can be found almost anywhere. Even a 1920s dump can have cool stuff. Its big enough for. 4 of us to dig a couple times a month for awhile.
I have around 6 creek/railroad dumps to keep me busy. My "crew" keeps us safe and different eyes and ideas keep us busy finding new spots. You always have to keep a curious mind to find new places. I consider this the last frontier, as many spots are getting hunted out.
