May I be the first to offer my WAHOOOO Congratulations!!! Savor the day

Cant wait to see some close up pics.

Can you tell us where the hole was in relation to the house that the trash came from? Did you find it with a probe, or wish it showing on the top?

continued good luck! Bram

First of all I probed it, and picked out the spot where the 4 foot probe just about dropped itself down the last foot. I took a gamble being the whole yard seems to be filled in. The hole is roughly 50-60 feet behind the house and on the property line, right in downtown Steubenville. I still have the well to do and hopefully a few privies but I'm guessing the privies will be sparse considerring the fill in the yard. The well on the otherhand has been filled in also. There wasn't a single bottle after about 1890 so I'm hoping the hutches and local beers and sodas will be in the well.

Very, very nice! I gotta find me one of those things called privies :) On my way to work I pass tons of hot spots for them, hopefully I catch the owners out mowing the lawn or something to ask permission.

/Can't wait to see them beauties cleaned up!
