How many of you found garbage buried around your place from past owners?

It was just common in the old days to dump rubbish in the woods.
It took me 20 years to pick out all the stuff that had been tossed out along the easement road that defines my property. I did little sections at a time. Found all manner of vintage glass. And in a way, it became interesting. One person, apparently liked a particular cologne. Which from the bottles, I could trace back to the late 40's and early '50's.
The creepy thing was finding all the porcelain doll heads. Some within tossing distance from the road, and some too far away to have been tossed.
Somewhere here, there is a story.

There was a private road not far from the dump in a town not far from here. Both sides of it for 1/4 mile were lined with trash from people who apparently didn't know the dump hours, or who didn't care.
I went past one day and it was all cleaned up, with a handwritten sign saying "No more of this ****!" or something to that effect. I was talking later to a forester who helped look after the land and she said that one thing they found was old records from a business which had closed.
They paid a fine for that one.

Rule #1 for littering, don't leave anything that can identify you.
