I bought one at Lowes but I have to say it is way too easy too bend. A custom one would probably be a lot better.

Gentlemen,

John / Jaken makes probes. Any big box store bought probe might be fine for probing for utility pipes, or drainage tiles but is virtually useless as a privy probe. Been there, done that...

From all reports, he makes an excellent probe. Here's a link to his digging site: DIGGER'S DIARY-TALES OF CIVIL WAR RELIC HUNTING

The surfmaster is correct. I ordered one of jaken's 5 ft probes and it literally "sings". Made very well too i might add

I also recently have purchased one of his probes, it's excellent... But have not found a privy! If anyone could help that'd be great. Going to start a new thread for this.
