I have not seen any recent posts here from anyone in Northern Ohio so I figured I would give it a shot. I started digging around 7 years old and my experience consists of mostly farm dumps and a few town dumps. I've dug up one 1860's era privy but it was rural, shallow and nothing like what I see these privy diggers here digging up. I currently reside in the Huron/Sandusky area and I have been out searching around everywhere for a dump but have only found shards so far. I know of some dumps that are still producing just to the East of here but they are mostly 1920's to 1960's. I prefer not to dig alone so I am hoping to find another digger close to this area. I'm always scouting out new locations, doing research and following shards in the creeks/rivers so I am bound to find a good spot somewhere around here soon. Someone with experience digging privies is a plus since there are many homes in the area that date to the 1860's and prior. I look forward to hearing from anyone in the area.
