wtb: Privy Rod,where can I get one.

I made mine and one for my son. 5 ft. 3/8 slick rod with a 10 inch handle welded on top. Sharpen the end of the rod and you are in business. HH :minelab:
 
Another option would be a probe rod like those sold at a plumbing supply house.
 
Concerning making your own, weld a ball bearing on the end of the rod, one just slightly bigger than the rod, you will be surprised at how much easier it will penetrate the ground.

Sharpening the end just makes it wedge tighter in the soil. In my privy digging days in New Orleans I made dozens of them in every length from two foot to 10 foot, you will eventually have to replace the ball, any welding shop can make one in minutes.
