I remember when we got a “new” outhouse made from used lumber that came from and old house that was abandoned. It had a “real” door that locked! No more cold wind in the wintertime! Man, we thought that was just the greatest thing!....................

That's not unusual. I have friends who seek out the locations of old outhouses and dig down looking for old bottles and other goodies. A good hole can yield thousands of dollars worth of sellable stuff, pre-1850 mostly. A bad hole yields, well, a lot of you know what.
