Wahoo Bitters!
Nov. 14 2009
We got off to a slow start today, but it ended with a bang!. We drove out of town to check on a dump site that Buddy had found, but were saddened to learn that we we were not going to be able to exploit its bottle pontential. So we regrouped and decided to return to Memphis and ask permission on a spot that we knew dated to the 1840s. Much to our delight the owner gave us permission and said we could dig all we wanted! That's a good thing because this lot has 3 brick-lined privies!!
Jim, Garret, and David looking for those pontiled bottles.
Buddy in the hole before it got so narrow that he had to take his hat off.
Mike's in the hole wiping the sweat from his brow and thinking "where are the bottles at?" This privy started out as a nice-sized oval shape, but ended up being a narrow round brickliner.
David in the hole breaking his back at about the 13' mark.
