English: Dumpdiggers

Dump Digging refers to the practice of bottle diggers and relic hunters excavating century old historic but sadly forgotten Colonial age dumps.

More precisely, Dumpdiggers are scholars that use antique maps and genealogy data, museums and municipal and federal archives to research historic properties, probe sites, and then systematically disturb century old rubbish deposits in a quest for buried antiques & collectibles. They find things like early American pottery, antique glass bottles and stoneware, saloon pipes and porcelain dolls heads, civil war relics and British Navy relics, military collectibles, coins, toys and tools.
