this was a two day privy
Dig that turned out to be one of the best digs in a long while. it was very hard to find because it's been so dry lately. but once we did find it it ended up having two feet of fill on top. once we got down into it it ended up being about 10 foot by 8 feet wide so we had to call for backup but that's fine because it turned out to be a worthwhile rectangle stone-lined privy that started in 1920 that had a 6 foot use layer. also had the privilege of metal detecting the dirt that the guys were pulling out. here are some of the highlights that we recovered. the homeowners ended up with 4-5 boxes full of bottles. I will update the pics once I get everything cleaned up it's going to take a while but thank you for looking!
