Pre 1900 is a good rule but up to 1920 could still be productive.If it's newer than that,NEXT!

My rule of thumb is if you can see the outhouse building run! Its to new.Probe around the area and see if you can find the (older ones).

Rick is mostly correct but some of my oldest pits were still standing structures. Built like a brick Sh*t house as some say. They do the test of time and go through the entire age depending on the town. The last one I dug started 1940's and went back all the way to the 1850s (still stainding brick Sh*t house). So with that said, if its a brick structure it could be very good if it goes deep

Hi you all, I just wanted to point out that old out houses bring big bucks at auctions.
Especially for the gentlemen farmers in Connecticut. Handle them with care!
