    Augusta Privy Digging

    There never all dug out. Augusta has a lot more in the ground that people let on to. Will post some pictures of stuff from the 1890-1900 pit later today. Working on a new transmitter for the radar now.

    Arizona dig

    Keep digging, get the Sanborn maps and start finding privies. I dug almost 100 when I lived in Arizona. This was one of my last from a 13 foot privy in Tucson right before I left 2 years ago. J.M. Wilkins Grocer Tucson A.T. "Arizona Territory" only one known to exist...... good luck

    Found this pit a few weeks ago, really shallow 4 footer. It had been dipped and all that came out were a couple of inks. To small for the dipper?
