Recently my boyfriend and I have been given permission to dig around on the property of a house built circa 1675. The house is going to knocked down and the property leveled to make a dog park!! So much for preserving the past! Anyway, we have been using a spring steel rod to probe the ground looking for a potential privy but have turned up nothing yet. We are sort of on a time limit and want to do as much digging as possible before the property becomes state owned on August 1st. I'm positive that there is multiple privys on the property..I mean the place has been there since 1675 so they must have dug at least a few privys in all that time. Any help/tips will be greatly appreciated. I have never found a privy before and its driving me insane knowing that its out there somewhere waiting to be excavated by us! I don't want to find it after the backhoe comes through and trashes everything so the poodles can cruise around! Thanks in advance and Happy Posting!
