I was contacted by a fellow digger in Lancaster Pa.He told me that a few kids emailed him and had some questions about privy digging. I asked "how old are these kids"? 14 and 15. Wow what a great age to start privy diving! It turns out they were 2 girls doing a class project on "The history of the toilet" (that would not have been my first choice at 14 years of age) [

My friend Kerk asked me if I could talk to the kids because I was closer. They lived 15 minutes from my house. SO I agreed. But first I did a 10 question interview on email.I had fun with these []
The kids are doing this as a class project then going to the regional's.
She (Holly) tells it better.

At the regional History Day Competition in Jim Thorpe (3/16) we will be competing with other students from other schools in our area. There are many categories for the competition, ours an exhibit and we will be presenting our project in front of some judges. This years theme is “Turning points in history: People, Ideas, Eventsâ€. Our project title is “Plunge into the Privy: Changing a Crappy Pastâ€. We created an outhouse with information inside and out. Moving on from our school competition to regional's we are adding an “interview†panel and that is where you come in to be a resource for us! Talk to you soon.
Thank you for your willingness to be a resource for us!
They came over tonight with one of the fathers. I answered a lot of questions about "privy diving" lol thats what they call it. I gave them a 5 gallon bucket full of bottles for their project and let them take some pix.
I never saw 2 kid that excited about old bottles. Except me []
