CANE FIELD BANDITS and IRON BRIGADE MEMBER
How the Heck is this possible?
Either these guys are Gods at finding privies, or they had Ground Penetrating Radar. I have no earthly idea how the heck they found this privy. And I have no respect for their antics...
But I want to know how this was done.
There seems to be no depression in the asphalt where they started busting it up.

TEN Half Reales:
1740, 1777, 1784, 1796, 1801, 180?, 1806, 1807, 1808, and 1814
1836 8 Reales
A 17?? One Real
1819 Token/Jeton
Two "Russian Blue" Trade Beads
Henry Clay Campaign Button
FIVE Early New Orleans Seated Coins:
1838-O Dime (no stars), Three 1839-O Half Dimes, an 1840-O Dime, and an 1842-O Half Dime
1892 Barber Dime
1918 Walking Liberty Half
1866 and 18?? Shield Nickels, and some GawGag V's and Beefaloes.
Military Relics:
Possible Spanish Colonial Era Cap Badge
FOUR War of 1812 Artillery Buttons
1820s Pewter Militia "U.S." Button
CW Eagle Artillery Cuff Button
CW Eagle Infantry Officer's Coat Button
3-Ringers, Enfields, Musketballs, and Shell Fragments

Maybe they took measurements, using an old photograph.
Or maybe it's just made for video.

That was fun to watch! I think they used a Sanborn map and some surveying skills to find that privy.

Harry's got it!
Some of those old maps show the exact locations of privy's, wells, outbuildings etc.

I seen on Cash and Treasures show a guy using Sanbron Fire Insurance maps and a high dollar ground penetrating system to locate them. Just using the maps could put you off by a ways if the streets were changed.

 Digging up the Past
Re: How the Heck is this possible?
They may have used Sanborn maps as a reference, but they are by no means acurate enough to go out in the middle of a parking lot and start digging. What we do is, look for slight depressions or just cracks in the pavement, use a spud bar or a cordless hammer drill with a nice big long masonary bit to get a hole for your probe to go in, and then use the probe(s) to verify the pit. Once you know, start prying up or spud barring the pavement. The area was probably about to be all torn up and new construction coming in.

Re: How the Heck is this possible?
see the cracks --using old sanborn maps and other info --linked together with the "cracked area" --due to the area being a privy n the past it would cause the ground to sag or be weak causing the covering asphalt to crack ---actually they used a form of "black magic" folks seldom use these days called " using your brains and logic together " --

Re: How the Heck is this possible?
I thought it was neat that they found the spot. But thought that they where a bunch of moron's. I cant believe I watched the whole thing. What a bunch of dingdongs..Wonder how they got the permission for that one. Nice of them to fill the hole with there trash before leaving.
