I need help finding a outhouse most likely many.

The site was a very old railroad park far into the woods. It dates from 1863 to 1893. Some weekends had 20 thousand people. They came on trains foot and buggy. The park had it all. Now I have been looking for just about 20 years for at least one out house. ... The graph are rocks where buildings were. Please help me out. I have drilled over 150 holes in every swale of land I could find. I used a 2 inch and 4 inch bit and went down 2-4 feet with no luck..... Looking for Direction .. Thanks Jim

Downwind from the house might be a good place to start. And relatively close to the house: consider rain, sleet and snow conditions--how far do you want to walk?

"I need help finding a outhouse most likely many." I have had that problem myself on occasion.​

Not dowsing related, but being experienced in locating old outhouse pits by noticing signs on the surface..... if the land has not been filled in since it was a park, outhouse holes sink over time due to composting of the contents. You will notice recessed squares in the ground. Sometimes there are remnants of stone walls that served as foundations. Check and see if there was a Sanborn fire map that covered that area as well. That will show where all the buildings were. My next thought would be to see if you can locate a LIDAR map covering that area and look for small squares or rectangles. LIDAR shows variances in the elevation of the land surface. Being that it was a park there may have been multiple seat/larger outhouses. Good luck.

He said it was a park, not a house.
