Early morning screening

[digger460]

Have been trying to find where the privy was in my yard. Would like to see if I can find some bottles. I had noticed some area's in my yard that have different color and different grass(pictured)

I remember someone saying look for a roughly 3 foot circle. So I picked this one to use my hand auger to investigate.

Augered about 8 inches, threw it on the screen, and out popped what I believe is another clay marble which would be the 3rd out of the yard. (Posted on Marbles to get there opinion)
Then checked the hole with the Carrot, and pulled what I believe is a porcelain door handle or what's left of it. Carroted some more and nothing but modern nails and some slag.

Had to see if there was anything deep, so I augered to about 40 inches and hit clay. No hit's on the Carrot as far as I could reach. So I'm thinkin' not a privy. Also thinking should I skim 4" or so of the 3 foot circle and screen that. Seems to be where the old stuff is. Thought I was on to something right off the bat. Well maybe?

On to the next spot, when there isn't something on the calender

Thanks for looking!

Interesting plan of attack. You scored a few finds so I guess it's paying off.
