Ok, so this thread is a bit confusing. It is fine if you find something in the woods that obviously abandoned, but... you better be sure. I am assuming that is what you mean?
Hiking through the woods in Vermont and Connecticut we always come upon junk deep in the woods. Since colonial times, people would just dump their garbage and trash in a spot out behind their house / cabin. Walk along any of the thousands of old rock walls deep in the woods and you will probably come upon an old household garbage dump area. Old farm implements, horse drawn field rakes, cutters, plows, etc are just sitting out there abandoned many times with trees growing through their frames. Remember most of New England was farm fields after the 1700s, most of the woods you see today are only around 100 years old or younger.
