    Where I grew up it seems that many farmers had their own personal dump site. I remember visiting two as a kid. One was my uncle's and the other our neighbor. The neighbor used a burn barrel for most of the household trash. the dump sites were full of all things that wouldn't burn.

    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.
