Went out yesterday…dug a privy I found last time I was out and it ended up being completely empty…someone filled it with sawdust and there was one broken 1870’s bottle in one corner. Probed what felt like an oyster pit…discovered they had dug a hole for a barrel privy and filled around the outside of the barrel with oysters. Dug the barrel privy and it ended up being pretty big (started 3’ down and went to 7’ down and super wet)…found the three attached blobs from Galveston in it. Over the moon! I’ve never dug the middle version of the Cortes whole so super happy to find an addition to the collection…and it has a great amber swirl in the glass too.
I average 1 blob a year digging so this is pretty much a record for me. 8 hours of digging in the heat between the two privies but definitely worth it!
