The Outhouse Project

[Oakman404]

Just wanted to show everyone the outhouse on my property that i told you all about last month. I am going to dig it out and treasure hunt it for a spring/summer project. I promised pictures last time I talked about it so here they are:

not a bad looking crapper

No gold or silver in there, just brown.

 

[Da Yooper]

Wow a 3 holer

 

[tulsa]

You might find a few corncobs and Sears catalog pages in there...

 

[silvernail]

Looks pretty modern.... 1930's-40's? Could be one or more earlier holes nearby.

 

[Oakman404]

The neighbor also has one but the building is gone, I am gonna see how I make out with mine then I may ask if I can excavate hers too.

 

[John 'n' W.Va]

I never could figure it out. Did people really use it at the same time?

 

[garthbfan]

Good luck. Looking forward to seeing the finds.

 

[Joel-Winnipeg]

Like silvernail said they may have moved it earlier and covered the old hole with the dirt of this one.
Nice color combinations. Pink is a relaxing color

 

[Uncle Willy]

Ah a three-holer. I hope the pit is dry and solidified.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah I would probe for the possible first one. This one may still be a little ripe to dig in.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

If they had to go bad enough. Course with a family sharing was part of the game.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

I would think so. They should be easy to spot or one could ask around. And one doesn't want to dig one that's still ripe.

Bill.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah I remember those well, especially the cobs.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

Let's hope it ain't still gooey. Looks a little new to me to be digging in.

Pretty crappy deal you have. Hope your not left with your pants down? Maybe things will come out all right? Don't get too pooped out sifting! Then again it may wipe you out? Something smells about this project? Don't be the butt of any jokes. You must find something good down there. If your lucky you could be singing "yourin the money"

There are some good vids on youtube. Search for privey digs or privy digs. Good luck to you!

 

[Oakman404]

You guys crack me up! If it's not all dried up then I won't dig it! So I'll say it's a spring/summer project dependant on the condition of the inards! How's that! LOL! Khouse I loved your thread!

 

[khouse]

Glad you didn't get pizzed off? Looks like bottles are popular things you'll find in the pooper. Take plenty of pictures!

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah old, valuable bottles, are one of the prizes found in the pits along with old China and dishes of various sorts. One other thing to look for around old homes is the dump where a multitude of stuff can be found. These are usually in a ravine behind the house or a pit dug out back.
