I found a good prospect in Wheeling - 8/24/2009 9:54:39 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I went out prospecting yesterday and hopefully found a good spot. It is a three story Federal style house on the Banks of the Ohio River. The man told me the house had been a pre- Civil War hospital. I probed out one hole and then another and will be digging tomorrow. I have to have carpal tunnel surgery Wed., so there's no time to waste. I also lined up several other properties to dig. I spent nearly 6 hours walking up and down alleys and streets talking to the neighbors. I bet a spoke with 20- 30 people and came up with enough privies to last me into winter. I'll try and post a photo of the house shortly. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

One completely empty five footer with no walls. One suspected stone lined well with not even a shard that was only thirty inches in diameter. we had a hard time just filling the bucket up. we got down to about fourteen feet and filled it in. Probed out one more hole and found a couple keepers. It appears they dipped holes pretty well down there. I think Ill stick to digging Steubenville. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to Just Dig it) Post #: 3
