Tad-
the camp from what I could gather operated a couple years starting in 1910...I have been researching privy probes, but have yet to buy one, any recommendations would be appreciated.

Either JGAS or DIGGER DAVE would have all the goods on that subject

Go to your local junk yard,find a big Cadillac or Buick or some such large car,, take one of the spring steel rods off of the hinges to the trunk lid,round off the bottom end (not a sharp point) Have a welder put a piece of pipe on the top for your handle,weld a small bead around the rod about an inch or 2 up from the bottom and you have a probe,shouldnt cost ya more than $10 .

Thanks for the info pikespeakcharlie. I bet I can make that happen...appreciate all the comments from Colorado, I always liked your state, I thought Durango was awesome. Seen a nice mix of Indian artifacts come from the State over the years. I could definitely live there.
