Diggin' holes
After work today, yes I worked half a day, I stopped by a co-worker's home which was built in 1882. I got dig permission and decided to wait 'til after this weekend's expected precip to dig. While I was there I grabbed the probes and looked for the "privy". I walked to the back of the lot by the alley on the "blind side"(cant see from the street) of the house. I then looked for any obvious low spots. Bam!! a slight rectangular depression a couple feet from me. I stuck the 4 foot probe in the middle and hit glass at 3 feet. I then stuck the probe in at a 45 degree angle and hit a wall. I jabbed the suspected wall hard a couple times and pulled the probe out to see rock dust on the probe tip. I repeated this until all 4 walls were detected and marked off. I now have a rectangular privy with its tossed in non-combustible trash waiting for me to dig. I'm chomping at the bit. I'll detect there too!!
