Hello, I am trying to find someone who would like to help me find and dig up my outhouse. My house was built in the 1880's and there is a spot where I think it may have been but, I am not sure. I live in Lititz Pa. and my e-mail is disturbeddesign@yahoo.com Thanks for any help.

GREAT site.  Great hobby.  Been rummaging around with my sons and enjoying ourselves.  How does everybody clean their really dirty bottles?

Rick - I Stumbled across your site looking for 'Stine and Kramlich' as I live in the house formerly owned by Oscar Stine, one of the two partners.  Do you know if there are any bottles from this partnership around that I could get a closer look at??

Absolutely love the site!  I am fairly new to this as well, and definitely want more information on privvy digs, the appropriate tools needed, how to locate old houses and privvy locations, and more!  Feel free to email me anytime so I can pick your brain for the vast knowledge  you have in this area!

Your site is really nice! I wish I had known what I was finding after rough storms when I lived in an 1918 bungalow(12 years ago). At least I saved the bottles that unearthed themselves. They are so cool!

Hello Rick,  Very nice site.  I especially like your graphics (the well idea is great).

I live in Providence, Rhode Island  where many homes go back to the colonial era, so           I would like to learn more about how you acquire permission to dig a privy, and how to determine if a house lot does indeed have a privy located on it, etc... .

Thank you in anticipation, Al Otis (aka Al, The Bottle Guy)  :D

Hello,

I was wondering of you could give me some information on a pipe that my Mother In Law found in her field. She found a presidents pipe. It is Franklin Peirce. We have been trying to find some information on these but we haven't found much. Do you know if these have any value to them? Any info would be helpful.

Thank You,

Shauna
