I found 2 30 footers here in Michigan. One was never filled in & 30 feet deep & the one next to it was filled to top with old broken meds pouring out of the top. Never did dig that one. LEON.

Did you take a picture of the one that wasn't filled in? That's the one I want to see. How do you know that one in the pic is 30 feet,did you probe it?

Did not get a Pic of unfilled one, so deep it was scary just looking down it. Maybe 40 feet. I'll take a pic of it on return trip. There was a 2 old houses from 1800's on each side of a ravine ( which used to be a old road) each one of these had a well. I just assumed if one was 30 feet so was the other probably. I do not have a 30 foot probe, think it's only 5 feet. Should I try digging this one, had some good old shards on top. LEON.

Leon,
I probed that. It's a well, or more likely, a cistern, along the river in B-Way, right?
My six footer hit a cement bottom on it. I believe it was already dug and that is why you see those shards along the edges.
If you can find an actual privy in that overgrown jungle, you will probably do VERY well.
I have it marked as a place to check in the spring, before it gets overgrown.

Its not a well. We dug 2 deep ones on the end row that were converted (pipes) this one had no pipes. We found the slate toilet seat for this one, watch the movie. Will there be anything in it? Beats the helll out of me. :)

Hey Rick,
I think Mike was referring to Leon's pics?

Bill


Possible, sorry to hijack thread. Bill, That sounds like same one, I only dug a foot then stopped figuring it might have already been dug but been curious about it? LEON.
