Serious question, I was just looking at my backyard and realized it's basically a trash heap from the 1950s

I mean, I was digging a hole for a new fence post last weekend and kept hitting old glass bottles and rusted cans. I pulled out a soda bottle with '1952' on the bottom, which is way older than our house. It made me think about how much stuff is just buried under our feet that we never see. Has anyone else turned up weird old garbage that felt like a mini dig site?

Wait, a 1952 bottle? That's older than my grandma.

Found one from 1947 at a flea market once... turned out to be worth way more than I paid. Those old bottles are surprisingly common if you know where to dig. Kinda cool how something so old just gets tossed aside over time.

Isn't that just normal soil layers, not a trash heap?
