Freshly Cleaned Bottles

[ohio]

I usually just browse this section because I do not have any of my bottles cleaned but, these are some bottles that were dug by a friend and me. These are some of his share. He took the pic and I think it is awesome! Just wanted to share. Good luck to all!

Thanks. We have just been paying dues lately. The last two privies that we dug were busts. It is a heck of a lot of work to come up with nothing. Nice axe by the way!

Molly, I am fortunate to live in an area that has many older homes. I usually shoot for places that are 1880 or older. I use a steal rod to probe the ground. The lots here are often small and the privy pits are usually in one of the back corners. A guy i know has a website that you may want to check out privydigger.com . He has some tips on there and also sells probes. Are you in an urban area that has older homes? If you are in the country you may have to seek older dumps although I do not have too much experience with that. Good luck and keep us posted on what you come up with.
