Cool image of the local rock bottom bridge collapse. Note the privy over the water and all the ash dumps along the river bank. This entire area in Binghamton was changed when they built the flood walls in the 1930s. None of the buildings or streets you see exist today.

We need someone with a gpr that knows how to find privys! We have multiple permissions lined up that we feel could be amazing digs. Early 1800s hotels and saloons.

I saw this picture posted in another bottle digging group and thought it was too cool not to share. They appear to be in the process of moving an outhouse. Likely not a fun job 😵‍💫🤮 Anyhow, I'm editing our latest YouTube video, and it should be up sometime later this week. Stay tuned!

New digging video posted guys! This pit ended up dating back to the late 1860's-1870's! We found some amazing RARE local bottles, along with some interesting "surprises" after a house had been torn down. Link in comments down below! 👇👇👇
