    Any help would be appreciated

    You are right bottleman and thanks for the info. I dug about another 6" down and found the bottom. There were planks of wood on the bottom. I lifted up a few and the ground was really hard to dig so I stopped, still found afew though!

    Didn't find anything in the privy yet and am wondering if I its a waste of time? I never dug one before and was hoping I found something. How do you know when to stop digging? I think I just about had enough of this one and am about to move on to the next. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Has anyone ever found a privy only a few feet away from the back of a house? I'm just curious. I probed around the back of a house and it went in fairly easy in two spots, one right next to the other. I started digging and am down about 4 feet. I found some possible signs of a privy, nothing in...
