You guys are to funny arguing over something like this, get over it. There’s no substitute for experience and few others here have as much as Rick or have contributed to the hobby like he has. [/align] [/align]A few years ago in central S.F. I dug a huge bricked line privy for a big mansion that that took up almost an entire block. An excavator cut a ramp five feet deep and left a scatter of bricks for 50 feet along the alley. Finding the central location where the scatter came from I sat down and started pitching brick. No way to probe, it was solid brick but after about an hour of throwing brick and going down four more feet 5x5 walls were showing. What was really strange were the walls were plastered and perfectly smooth. Having my doubts about it being a good age because of the modern looking walls we continued deeper into a sand layer. We’re down almost 10 feet but still nothing not even a piece, it looked far to new. My partner was down in the hole when I heard his shovel go clunk on a bottle. I shouted down saying “Hey Jessie, got a mayonnaise jar?†He was silent, no response as he lifted to light for the first time in a 150 years a wicked green quart size iron pontiled utility bottle. It was all good after that, really good for another four feet being all 1850s material. I’ve not seen another smooth walled privy like that with this kind of age but they do exist........[/align]

I learn something new every time I tune in here, its so much more than just a bottle site!
Perhaps Mr. Martainn's middle name is Robert?? [8|]
But lets be clear, the thick necked reds hail from the woods of upstate New York, and all tho undoubtedly all related, are cousins to the regular & thin necked varieties.
