Country Privies - 12/31/2003 12:19:05 AM    Bluegrass   Posts: 104 Joined: 12/29/2003 Status: offline Hi folks... just wondered if anyone had done much country probing. I've dug many town privies but few in the country. I'd only mess with nicer farm houses--1810-1870-- where there was some money to spend on the sort of stuff a digger is after! Are the privies often located in similar spots, and are they lined as they are in town?Any experience you can share would be appreciated. Thanks, John.

Most of these are now filled with dirt and silt so locating them is a bit tricky. (in reply to Bluegrass) Post #: 3
