For all you bottle digger enthusiasts out there I have to offer a bottle finding "Privy Probe". Probes are inserted into the ground to check for potential bottle sites and are indispensable when looking for privy pits (old outhouse pits); sites of some of the last remaining undug antique bottles. The probe shown here is a three foot probe made from 1/4" High Grade spring steel which is used for the shaft for durability and hardness. The handle is a two piece set-up whereas one inch diameter 6" long threaded pipe sections screw into the shaft assembly. This allows for portability by being able to be broken down into pieces while maintaining structural strength and it is 14 " across when assembled. Foam grip handles make for comfortable gripping but are removable as well. The tip flange (which comes up 1" from the base of the shaft and is 1/4" in height) allows for a core sample of dirt to be inspected upon removal due to it's slightly wider dimension. This also allows for easier penetration into the soil since the slightly wider tip base purges a hole ahead of the shaft to avoid binding.
