Well guys, I dug my first privy. It was very underwhelming. Dug about 6 feet down and hit a hard clay bottom all around. Pulled out a broken Attica Indiana Coca Cola bottle. And this clear one. Anyone have an idea for the date on it? I also found an old dog toy, a very early Kodak camera piece, and a white metal bowl. Nothing else. I have two theories about my experience, the first being someone already dug it back in the day. Or... dating the camera, would have been around the last days the gentleman who lived thereās time period. So it could have been one of the last spots they moved the outhouse. The top was a stone square. The house with built in 1870. After I filled in the hole, we walked around with our black light flashlights āit was night thenā took me 5 hours to dig and fill, I found this sweet uranium glass marble next to the old well. I guess it was worth it. If I ever dig one again, there better be some better glass inside Really just looking for what time period this bottle would be from, and also, I probed the edges and down from the bottom of the privy, so I felt there was nothing left. Hopefully the next experience will go smoother.
