Here is something a friend of mine gave me several years ago, he worked for Gifford-Hill gravel co. It's a mastodon tooth.

Then in another area I hit what looked like an old dump site, and dug up hundreds of very old bottles in strange shapes and weird colors, some seemd like perfume bottles, all in perfect condition, because they were just in sand.

Those old bottles may have value enough to pay for your land. It was pretty common in the days before garbage collection and city dumps for people to dig holes to bury their trash.

This pic is of a liquor bottle (1/2 pint) with hearts, pic 21. Pic 17 is a 6oz medicine bottle, with the words "pour here" with an arrow pointing to the opening, go figure.

Pic 14, is several old bottles. The last one on the right, is a medicine bottle from the Chattanooga Medicine co, which is shown in pic 15, and on the other side, pic 16, it says McElree's Cardui. Pic 14 shows some more bottles. The cat shaped bottle in pic 13 has Hammans Beverages, Springfield, Ohio, on the bottom.
