Thanks for the Compliments. Very Hard to find 1870's or older Privy's in Michigan, Even harder to find a Cobalt blue bottle in 1870's privy or any privy. Would be a $500+ bottle if not for the chip in lip. Wouldn't sell though, To Sentimental since I found it & pulled it out myself. LEON.

Hi Leon -
Beautiful bottles!!! Question: Please excuse my ignorance but how in the world would you know to dig in what looks like a random area of a youth athletic field?
Thanks,

Yeah, There hasn't been a house there in many years. To find a privy like this you need 3 things or these 3 things really help a lot. #1 a late 1800's Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. These will show where the house sat in the 1800's & other out buildings & sometimes Privy's. #2. A Probe. #3 Lot's of Experience & Expertise. Once your familiar with all 3 of these then you just need luck & patience & persistence. LEON.
