Back In Blacktop Halloween Dig

[RICKJJ59W]

We did the pit we found last weekend.It was at a 1870 house.First we picked the newer one with a cinder liner,1920s or so once we found that out hit the next one.
This pit was not the 70s pit,it was 8oish 90ish TOCish but it was still fun to dig.There were not a whole lot of bottles but we got some cool figural s. and some other neat nick knacks.
The act of digging a privy is where I get my high.I like the bottles,but getting ready to go down a privy that hasn't been touched for over 100 years is the bomb! [8D]

Blue sky through the Black top

Made a 15 min movie of how we dig privy's under blacktop.

I don't have a lot of pix so watch the movie.

Wow! I've only seen one of those in a book or magazine! Speaking of magazines, if you have this summer's ABGC mag (one with the woman on the beach and bottle in the foreground), could you scan the cover for me?

It's amazing how this thing made it with just a small hunk out on the bottom.

Watching your video now... That embossed piece with the weird writing must have been Lozenge, right? Did you find out what it was?
