Did I ever tell you all about this monster privy?

Last Jan. I posted something about this. Never had any prof I dug it in the way of digging photos. Old Surf would chap me about digging privies. Well I found the pics and here are a few. It was a 6' brick around privy and 20' deep.

The first 10' was normal digging till we hit 4' of bricks and huge rocks weighing excess of 200 lbs. Others would gave up, not me. I pulled out the sledge hammer and broke apart the material into manageable pieces. I figure it was the founditaion of this building they collapsed down into the hole. Anyway all of a sudden dishes, bottles, shoes, rellics from 1890s s.. The mass of the contententens dated to 1870's.
