Toxic waste dumping?

Why bury it? empty?

Has it been there a long time?

Hard to say.... least 4 years. Since I have been here.

Naw.....bury so the stuff leaks out into the ground

It occurred to me that an upside-down (and open on the bottom) barrel with a hole in the top would make a fairly usable low-volume septic tank.

Someone could take the outlet hose from something like a camper or a camp trailer and not have to worry about dumping the tank.

Do you know it's been there since you've been there? Or could it have been buried since you've been on the property?

My mind is conjuring loads of ideas. I like the idea that it's a stash best, and whatever it was already got retrieved. Maybe it was jewels and you'd find a diamond or two if you dug out all the dirt.
