Quote:Posted by GoldDigger1950
Sometimes the outhouses of a homestead were marked with a cairn so as to remind the future diggers of the new outhouse to stay away from the previous holes. A privy that is dug up after 100 or so years is not going to be an upsetting event because the earth will have done its job in converting waste to soil. Very rich soil. You'll know fairly early if that's what you have discovered.


Hey, if they are cairns to mark where a privy had been, they're prime digging spots.   Lots of nice stuff comes out of privies and lots of people don't want to have any part of digging it up so there's not as much competition as there would be if it marked an old fire pit or cellar.
