It takes pure determination to brave the elements and asphalt-hard ground to excavate a privy in February. Sounds from your description that the pit was somewhat shallow. With indications of an adjacent privy, I suspect you'll be posting more photos of great(er) finds in the near future. That object that looks like an alien life form might just be the handle for a walking cane. Could be an armadillo, which are not indigenous to your area (Oklahoma is loaded with 'em). The epilepsy cure is a real keeper. Never saw one like it. (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 22
