Thanks Joe, that sided bottle is pontiled. There was so much pontiled glass (pieces) in that hole, I never saw anything like it!

Jimbo,

It bottomed out at barely 4 feet. It turned out to be a 5' x 5' square stoner with a foot of concrete curb at the surface. Thats another thing, the next time I come a cross a privy that has either cinder block or concrete at the top I'm going in without hesitation!

Hers's another pic.

Wow thats pretty amazing.To bad the sodas weren't whole! I would have never dug it, but thats just me. I bet you need to dig 100 standing outhouses to find one like that.

Yeah Rick, I wish the sodas were whole. I have all the pieces to one, so hopefully I'll add a "glued back" J. Harley West Chester PA soda to my shelf.
