hey i am 16 yo live on an old boyscout camp and do plenty of metal detecting there. However on recent searches further back in the woods i have found evidence of possible human habitation b4 boyscouts. i first found a rock w/ carvings in it and then just below almost out of site until a few feet away i found a hole 11 feet 9 inches deep. at first i thot it was a well or a cistern but after some reading i believe it is a privy but on the side of a mountain pretty much on a steep cliffway back in the woods i have looked for the house but cannot find it and i am still not sure where to strt in my investigation i was thinking of digging in the tailings of this hole which seem to provide the only flat area on the mountain. is ther any way to dig the hole w/p goin in it since i am not sure how old it is or how reliable. u can tell im new to this.......
