    Dump raking?? Would you clarify that term? Is it just slang or do you actually rake the surface looking for objects? Cheers, RickO

    Yah, it literally means taking a rake and searching for telltale signs like bottles and so on that a metal detector would miss. Lots of bottles, etc, get buried only a couple inches under the surface.

    This dump is between 3-8 feet deep. About size of a football field. Just pick a spot dig and rake material. Sometimes it's slow, other times loaded.
