2 solo privy digs, one day, 100 miles apart, crazy story

[Digger George]

So I dug 2 privys today both about 100 miles apart. It began with a parking ticket last month in Atlantic City, NJ. I was going 5 mph from one parking spot to another but I didn't have my seat belt on. So of course a cop saw me with no seatbelt and bam i get a 50 dollar ticket. I called and asked, do i get points on my licence for this, they said yes, you need to come down and appeal it. Well I came down today and payed for the ticket, I asket about the points and they said, hell no you don't get points for this. WTF! that was a 100 mile drive! Points increase car insurance rates, thats why I care. So I was in AC early in the morn with my diggin gear and had all day to find a privy. I found a boarded up mid 1800's house and found a wood lined privy shortly after. I dug it out and found late 1800's trash but not much.

As soon as I finished diggin the privy I hear a gun shot! I duck for my life! It was close by me but not directed toward me. I was the only white guy in a black neighboorhood so it wasn't the best place for me to be. I wasn't near the casinos or beach so you can still go to them places. I waited a little while then casually walked to my car and got the hell out of there. I didn't get a pic, my camera was in the car and I didn't want to go back.

I got an AC hutch, an AC med, A Camden NJ druggist, but mostly crap, the best stuff was broken. I kept that broken bottle in the pic because it's from New Orleans, LA which is a cool place, but it probably won't be around much longer so maybe I'll dig there. So I'm drivin home and an hour later I realize I left my best bottle at the site. Chit Fock. I don't even feel like talkin about it. I was too damn tired to go back.

The day before, my driver side car door latch broke and swung open while I was driving and I could have flew out of the car but I had my seat belt on of course. So I got another car door at a junk yard yesterday and was up all last night putting it on. I don't even know how I'm still awake, it was a horrible night. I got so pissed that I left that nice bottle in AC that I decided to find another privy to dig.

I went to a boarded up house in another town far away and found a brickliner right away. It was 6 ft deep, 3 ft wide, It took like 2 hrs to dig, it was all light ash. Ya Chris and Matt, that same yard we all gave up on last week! HAHAHAHAA I found it in a second!! but alas I dug it out and there were only 2 bottles in it, a local blob top and a magnesia. Chit Fock. Both privys were pontil age but were heavily dipped. It was quite a terrible day.

ha you were like 15 miles from my home. i dig ac alot and find some really good stuff but at times it can be hard with all crime in that area " be careful" i'm not racist but the natives do not take kindly to white folk ,if you know what i mean[] i have had some issues while on the job (construction) and we had to call the cops more than once. most of the old homes have not been dug but to get an ok to dig is very hard. i have now moved a little closer to home on some more historic older homes . the blob tob soda is pretty common as are the meds ,the camden one marked french i have not seen looks good.also if you go back keep an eye out for bitters as there have been " many" coming out of that area in the last few months.thanks for your story , and i hope you have some better days ahead,matt

YOU LIKE PROBIN ASH HOLES! DONT YA??

Cool story. We never probed that far behind the house. I bet that blob is really good knowing where it came from.

Keep Probin them ASH HOLES!

George you should make your self a movie! *THE PRIVY RUNNER* the movie is about a man who travels across the state raiding privies in bad Hoods, dogging bullets and and bad pits, not knowing what hole he will be in next[8D], he drives on! Life is a gamble but risking your life for a bottle is a fact of life .......for the ....*PRIVY RUNNER*

Comeing to a theater near you.

[] ya I know Rick! Diggin privys in city ghettos can be dangerous, exciting and insane. You need to blend in and also interact with your surroundings. I walk around with a hard hat, gloves and a metal probe. I get some weird looks but they don't want to mess with me. One crazy bum asked me when they gona knock down this house, I said within the month(i didn't know), he said i gota get me cats and cloths outa there! Police just wave hi to me when they drive by. During yesterdays second privy dig a big black guy came up to me on a bike and asked, yo you plantin a tree in that hole? I said no I'm doin an archaeological excavation. He said man I love that archaeological stuff, and left. Then a black family, a women with 3 kids came by and asked what I was doing. After I explained what I was doing to them the women said, I got a big dead possum in my yard right there, can u throw it down the hole. I said ya no problem and I threw the possum down the hole along with all their trash! Ya I'm makin a movie called privy runner and it won't need to be scripted! Matt, Ry and Chris will be in it too.
