The Lady Esther Rouge compact is from the late 1930's the buckle looks like a harness buckle. Great looking site.

And I have found the privy. Lol. Didn't put much into that it has all kinds of old junk in that hole. A lot of glass and some iron. That was about all the investigating I done on it though. I will now that I think about that. (Google)....

it sounds like you may have found the last privy in use, if the home was built in the early 1800's and used until at least the 1930's there will be probably 4 or 5 more privy holes not far from the last used as about every 20 yrs or so they would fill in and dig another pit. the best stuff to be found will be in the pre 1900's pits and you will have to probe around to locate them.

That's awesome. It just keeps getting better. I never thought there would b more than one. I'm gonna try to go back tomorrow. And still no cellar hole.

Did you get to go back and did you find anything.

Haven't got to yet weather hasn't been real good and don't want to tear his field up. I bought the universal antenna by Simmons and its pointing some gold out right by my house I'm trying to get permission now. U ever heard of anybody using one of these things. I'm wondering how accurate they are.
