Dug a Privy Today.

[hemihampton]

Finally got out to dig my first Privy of the year. Usually by now I would of dug 20 but not this year, My Sidekick digging partner Tom has been AWOL & MIA all year long. BUT, Today we finally got back to our 1870's Privy spot we left off at last Christmas. BUT, Sadly not quit the good luck we had then. This time around the ground was hard as a rock & only got the probe into the ground about once out of every 20 tries. Tom did probe a very questionable spot & since we wern't having any luck anywhere else we said what the Hell, lets do a test hole. To me it looked like a 1970's Barbeque ash pit. BUT, we did start finding pre pro embossed Beer Bottles. Quart size or more like 24 oz size Green Seal ABM crowntops from Buckeye Brewing in Toledo Ohio from around 1910 time frame I'm guessing. Dug 7 of them & 2 Haney Whiskeys from Ohio. Pics below.

Better than finding nothing, I've passed a few Green Seal's at antique stores, seam to be pretty common around me, still haven't picked one up yet.

I get tired after digging a hole for a fence post, you guys must be in pretty good shape.

Nice finds, looks like you got a couple of local pharmacy bottles there as well, I'd consider that a good day!

It's the potential results that make for the incentive. Fence hole... TREASURE hole.

When excavating for an addition to our house, the plus was an old(er) mountain dew bottle, the minus was the previous owners old dog.
