Privy Dig Under Standing Outhouse

[DIGS CHESCO]

I was always reluctant to dig under standing outhouses. Most of the outhouses in my area are either decorations or are used as sheds or outbuildings with concrete floors. So when one of my wife's friends (yeah, my wife got me a permission, I couldn't believe it!) invited me over to dig under their outhouse I didn't expect much.

But a permission to dig is a permsission and it must be followed through on.

I start moving dirt and this appears. A very nice local soda (J. HARLEY WEST CHESTER PA). I need the whole version of this one!

I'm still not convinced that the pit wasn't already dug, but I keep digging. I get down to the use layer in one of the corners and find a WM. M. WILSON DRUGGIST PHILADA. This clue and the fact that the 4 inch use layer is undisturbed convince me that I am the only one who has dug this pit.

This was a fun dig to say the least, and it produced bothe criers and keepers.

Yeah grizz, I was surprised, there wasn't anything in that whole newer than the 1880's, yet the outhouse was maintained for over 120 years.
