I think I found the cassette player, although it dates it to the 80s… Although it could of been an old object dumped alongside more contemporary ones, as the cassette doesn’t appear to be as aged as other objects…

Logo on the Wilson football dates from 1994-present, so oldest possible age of pile is ~1994, although I think it is younger.
Design on the Bud Light can is circa 2004, but I feel like someone could of dropped that separate from the pile.
This game is really fun, we should start a subreddit.
Someone dumping some shit might well have had some of the objects much longer than some of the others. And if anything, a person is less likely to be dumping new objects, except for disposable things like beer cans.
concur, dumping pile was probably in use during a range of time, curious what might be under there if OP starts poking around with a shovel, was mostly trying to narrow down an oldest object and then work from there.
That’s certainly possible too, but what I was getting at was that even a bunch of things dumped at once probably aren’t going to all be the same age.
Agreed, but what I am getting at is trying to determine an absolute earliest possible start date. The pile cannot be older than the oldest object in it, so regardless of any other factors, you can at least determine X is the earliest possible start date, then you can use other details to reconstruct other pieces of data (aka the other objects in the pile)
obviously there will be a range of ages, but I’m just following the thread of the oldest object for a starting point, not as an absolute age for everything in the pile.
I don’t know the exact model of the cassette player, but the silver plastic and the rounded bits of the design to me are very late 90’s to early 2000’s.
My guess is this stuff has only been out there a few years from the general condition.
That ball is way too inflated, it has not been sitting in the sun for over a decade.
everyone keeps saying 80s or 90s, yet completely miss the spool of blue Ethernet cable under it all.
everyone is pretty spot on with the boombox and toy.
based on that plus the Ethernet, plus the age on the items. I would say it’s been there since between 2001-2010.
