Hi, just quickly viewed your website. Great Site! I'm a collector of mainly UP items but I did do some privy digging downstate. I have a large range of things, best being a Celebrated Nectar and Stomach Bitters from Toledo, Ohio. I'm sure I'll be visiting your site in the future.

I really enjoy all your digs and stories. I used to dig the Phoenix area, however this area doesn't produce pontiled bottles. I found one here in 30 years, pontiled umbrella ink. I look forward to more of your stories and photo's. I can only dream. Happy olidays....Skip....

I have been enjoying your articles for some time now. I started collecting in the ‘70s at the young age of 12 or 13. I first herd of “privy digging” when I was in high school. At that time my memories of chamber pots and a back yard privy being the only f cilities at my Grandmothers house (along with a hand lowered bucket into the well house in the front yard as the only fresh water) were still quite fresh in my young mind. Needless to say I wasn’t interested at all in digging the old thing up! Your articl s and pictures have given me a new perspective on the idea. I am now seriously considering adding privy digs to my sinkhole and ravine dumpsite digging.

I have enjoyed visiting your web page and look forward to talking to you via e-mail.I am very new at this internet thing,and only have two years experience digging. I am looking for all the info. I can find.I also noticed that you are from Mich. Two days go while digging the same pit I`ve been digging since the begining of this year(thousands of bottles)I dug up a bottle from up your way. It is a medicine bottle/ I assume/.The embossing on the bottle reads:W.C.Kirchgessner Cor.3rd.&Merrick Detroit.Can you help me with dating this bottle? And how rare it is?I am also interested in finding out how to use and purchase a probe.Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

(WE have tons of older homes in New England). How 'bout a "How TO" section for us amatures:)? I just found in woods a stone lined privy I wanna attempt to dig thanx to you g ys....any goodies I'll let ya know. happy hunting.....Bill

In other words, dude, I'm almost dying for an update! Looks like you're gonna have to build a new grid to post further dig news.

What an interesting site!! We just purchased our home in Maine. In the late 1800's there was a farm on this land. We found what appears to be the old dump site. My husband collects ANYTHING old, so I am sure he will be excavating the dump before long. You are very interesting young men, and I think what you are doing is just great. Take Care, Ann in Maine

I found this page thanks to the Geocities Newsletter. I thought to my self "What the heck is this guy doing with outhouses??", so I had to see. Well, I was surprised... I had no idea that people threw all that stuff into their outhouse (but it makes sen e now that I think of it). I live in pretty historic town and have never wondered about those weird square dents in peoples yards until now.(My mom has one in her back yard, as a matter of fact) Maybe when my son is older I too will be compelled to dig p old privies. Thanks for such a neat website and good luck with your bottle finding!!

It is SO interesting and it makes me want to dig in my own backyard, but our house was built in 1924 so its not old enough. =( I am not familiar with the bottle collecting 'lingo' so a definition page would be useful for words like 'pontiled'. =) Thanks!

Your photographs and commentary on what is happening in Canton Township are very insightful. It is a very sad commentary on our society that endless urban sprawl is still allowed and even encouraged, as it is in Canton. Anyone who values history, farmland or open space needs to be active and vocal in expressing their opposition to the obliteration of old buildings and the small remaining pieces of our countryside. Keep up the good work. Your entire web site is very interesting. Don't know how you find the time to do all this while maintaining your career as a commercial pilot!

I found the site interesting. I liked the bit of history on your home town. I grew up not to far away in Marshall, Michigan. I purchased a house in a smaller farming community in southern Illinois, not to far from St. Louis, MO. Yes, we found the privy, w were digging for a fence post. Pulled some really neat old bottles out of the ground. Keep it up, I'll check back again sometime.

Your site is very interesting, the finds truley significant. The gun glass you use at the end, I remember seeing in a brown as a child. If you need Places to search, try the Applachian Mt. region. Eastern KY., Western VA, Southwestern West VA. Some area still do not have septic systems. Terriffic pieces of history. Great site, but loads a little slow. Linda

My friend sent me the link to your web site. At first I thought "Ewww!!! Digging around in old outhouses? Kind of like that X-Files episode with the fluke-man peering out of the hole." But then on further investigation I actually find this quite facin ting! Good job!

Saw your URL listed in the Geocities newsletter and found your site's purpose intriguing !! Just about went through every web page on your web site and was really fascinated !! Unfortunately, I live in California and I really doubt that I can find an intact turn of the 19th century privy in LA !! Keep Digging those "privy" sites and I'll check back every once in a while and see what other new pieces of Americana you've come up with !! Thanks, -- Mas

When I was young, houses with indoor plumbing were referred to as "modern." My family lived for about 3 years in a non-modern house. Your site makes me want to go back and find the outhouse. The house is no longer standing, but I bet I could find the outhouse.

Great site! Brought back some memories of growing up - my mom used to restore 19th century Victorian houses. At one she found an old cellar in the back yard that we excavated. I recognize one of the bottles I have - it's the brown one with the safe on you April 24th page - last picture. As an avid collector of various things, I can understand your drive. Keep it up, and have fun!

Great site! It's always fun to learn about something new and different. If you're ever down in Wheeling, West Virginia area, you'd have a blast because of the Fostoria Glass Company history we have down here. Our house is on a hilltop and built on fill but the small house next to it(which my parents own)was a mail-order catalog house from before 1900, still has the old coal furnace(chimney removed years ago), and the old cistern(totally empty), but interesting stuff found in the woods in back. The tra h pile was back there. Mostly old bones and broken plateware.

What an interesting hobby you have! I wondered if you found many items other than the bottles surviving the time underground. I see the pic of the false teeth and the mention of a civil war button. This reminded me of being a little girl at Grandma 's. Even though there was indoor plumbing, we weren't allowed to go inside for bathroom visits if we were playing outside when the 'urge' hit. When the old outhouse ran down, I was disappointed to see the new one being built... complete with a concr te floor and real toilet seat!! Eeewwww, the spiders!!

I really enjoyed looking at your website and reading about all of your digs. I also look for old bottles and have quite a few that are at least 80 years old and a few that are older. I also would like to dig up some old privy sites around here that I know are at least 100 yrs old. I have found most of my bottles at a dump about 50 miles from here that is about 110 years old. it covers about 3 acres and of course not all of it is 110 yrs old that is just the oldest part. Anyway your site was great and I'm g ing to visit it regularly. Thanks,Cathy

I still have quite a few bottles around here and their.I have never concidered iging in a privy although I would like to Lord willin some day. I usually found my bottles at old home sites and junk yards of the past.
