[QUOTE="Bonsai_Tree_Ent, post: 490168, member: 3845"] I'm just watching it too "The Secret Life Of Landfill" on BBC4 (I suspect it will also be on iPlayer). They have dug up an 80s landfill from 1986 - pretty much the exact same year we are talking about with the Palitoy pit. Hardly any of the rubbish has degraded at all, because it hasnt been exposed to air or sunlight, just suffered crush damage. They pulled a newspaper out of the landfill and it was still readable. You could turn the pages. A glossy MOC card is far sturdier and robust than a thin cheap newspaper... this evidence really makes me think that if the location could be pin pointed that the contents would be in far better condition than I had previously thought. I knew the plastic objects would be fine (figures, vehicles, etc), but this documentary shows that likely the cardboard, the blisters, even the instructions, sticker sheets, etc would likely still be in decent shape.
