Want to learn privy and dump digging

[Skrimpy]

Anyone digging any privies dumps in Upstate NY any time soon? You should take advantage of the nice weather while we have it. next week its supposed to get cold and pretty much stay cold until spring. I would love to tag along and learn. I won't keep any of the stuff found. You can keep it all. I just want to learn how to look at or read/date a trash heap (if such a thing is done), where to start, how far down to dig etc, and how to persuade the landowner for permission. Getting permission to detect is easy, but I would have to think that it isn't too easy to convince a landowner you are going to dig a very large hole in his/her yard where the outhouse used to be.
