    Hot ^ Town Summer In The City,Why the Hell am I diggin this Privy

    Title of the post is awesome. DEAD DOG in a bag, What the he/ck? That kinda ticks me off a bit as a dog lover. Why could'nt the owners have the respect to dig a hole and bury the poor thing? Anyways, good luck on the rest of your dig Rick. (edited at the request of one or more members)

    Any ideas?

    Where would you experienced probers go first? Map is from 1955, but the property lines have not changed since 1865. I have probed the property line on the left, but nothing, at least that I can tell. I'm still getting used to probing and have not found a spot along that line that is absent of...

    Sanborn question

    Surfaceone, thanks again! I will gets the pics up tonight. I also did some light reading and an image search on Anna May Wong last night. Yes, she certainly was a total babe! It seems as though she was very typecast, a shame. I think she would have been a big hit today.

    Sanborn question

    Hi, looking for a little help here. I am currently waiting for the probe that I orded to arrive, so in the meantime I went down to our library and looked at an 1898 sanborn map of my property and the village I live in (Sodus, NY). There seems to be no outhouse on the map. It shows the house, an...

    Jim, Thanks so much for the response! Your website is a wealth of knowledge, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Looks like I'm going to need to get my hands on a probe and a metal detector. The sooner the better. There are two depressions that I have a hunch about, but will wait...
