An old timer gave me a good tip this week. He asked me if I had ever detected at the old local pig farm which has been closed now for 45 years. I remember it when I was in grammer school. I would see dozens of pigs running around in fenced in pens. The town now owns the property and it is used as a hay field. A local dairy farmer hays it twice a year.
The old timer told me that the original farmer made daily rounds to restaurants and other establishments to pick up the waste food. He then dumped it from barrels into troughs or on the ground where the pigs were fenced in. He related that workers told him of finding silverware and anything else that might be left on a dinner table by accident including rings and money.
The good news is that 99.9% of everything thrown at the pigs was biodegradeable and is gone forever.
Has anyone out there detected such places? I plan to after the hay is cut this fall.
Oink Oink,
