Suggestion for all your future excavations ;), put a sifter (wire mesh with small holes) over the wheelbarrow then shovel the dirt on top. That will help remove the stones and any catch anything larger than the holes.

[@charmees6637]

No treasure ,but at least you got the best compost for the garden 😁

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Exactly! 😂

[@sallymoffit3751]

Excavation of a potty. Indiana Jones has nothing on you. 😂

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

😂

[@machellep1]

It’s a thing here in states. In fact I have an old one in my yard that’s sinking in, I’m getting ready to dig out before I level the ground again. My house was a civil war hospital and I already find medicine bottles in the holes the dogs dig.

[@daisylovelock9553]

Rols, you must really love Suzie, not many men would get in a cesspit for the woman they love😂😂 Here's a present for you = 🚂 😅 Great vlog💕

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

😂 🤣

[@claudebernardin1096]

You found the “cap”. What you dug was the last use layer. They capped it off with flat stones. You havnt even begun to find the good stuff. How old are the walls? The entrance? They appear 1890’s or earlier. They would have made a pit deep! Lined in brick and stone, knowing it would be used for decades!

[@agnesgosling3347]

Suzie and Rols pity no buried treasure but the consolation prize the compost.👍👍

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Yes, it's great 👌

[@amayastrata4629]

If the blokes using the outside cludgy in the past are anything like a lot of blokes they always kept money in their trouser pockets so I would expect to find some coins at least.

[@janegendreau6595]

The treasure was the compost, indeed! I've no doubt there are many more treasures yet to be discovered at the Citadelle! We're on Eclipse watch here in the US & so far nothing unusual to see, but each day is spectacular in it's own right! Happy 14th Birthday to sweet Fleur. She still looks so young!! I imagine the life she & Benji are living with you & Rols, Suzie, has given them a new lease on life!! Blessings all & see you again soon!! 🦋🇺🇸

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Hi Jane, yes, we've been watching the news. We've only had one eclipse in our lifetime and it was a cloudy day 😂. See you next time ❤️

[@claudebernardin1096]

Also… that metal detector can guide you to their property dump. Every one had one! And that could also be fantastic. Usually house dumps were in nearby ravines, sides of creeks, or a cistern pit. No more than 30 yards from house back doors. Off near woods edge.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Oh, thanks, that's interesting 👍

[@claudebernardin1096]

You could use these privy dig episodes as a fun side adventure. Spread out over 6 8 months maybe every two weeks, a privy dig.?

[@rozbarber3195]

I loved watching Suzie getting the giggles. Happy birthday doggies!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you Roz 😊

[@claudebernardin1096]

Yes it’s a gamble. Yes it eats up time. Look at it like a very slow fun thing to do. If you have rotten wood? Make a compost pile. Build three walls to protect it. Add all your garbage to it. Add the old outhouse poop. Fertilizer for garden.

[@jeanniehall1440]

Your azalea (white/peach) is gorgeous 😍 The lath wood you can use for kindling for starting fires in fireplace You appear to be 1 month along in spring season as of first mowing You need a sifter screen for gardening to put that compost through

[@mariaortega8702]

The garden is looking beautiful!!!!

[@estavoyernathalie9433]

Le trésor c’est l’engrais pour le jardin que ces latrines ont au fond du trou ! 😉

[@katherineleavitt7275]

Susie your garden is looking beautiful with everything coming to bloom. I have 17 azaleas in our front yard, all different colors, pink, lavender, red, purple & blood red. They all bloom at different times during the month of April and early May, so beautiful. It would look really pretty to have more azaleas next to your stone wall because you have sun & shade in that area. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you Kathy, I bet yours is a picture, sounds lovely ♥

[@jandolph7509]

Azaleas do better with pecan shelled (acidic soil) mixed around in the soil and directly on top. Garden Center in the USA sell bags of the pecan shells and smells lovely. Plus moist soil instead of dry. I hope this helps. Mine are in indirect sun not full sun. Azalea bed should be 3 to 4 inches deep all the way across. Use those rocks and stones in the area to outline the azalea bed. Take care.😊

[@user-xh1ie9pd3z]

Put the soil through a riddle .

[@carolesmith6620]

No treasure what a shame but you got some good compost the garden is looking lovely 🌹 and a big happy birthday to the pups 🎂🥳 take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗

[@claudebernardin1096]

The better stuff will start about the five foot mark below. Typically the first five feet are 1940’s, 1930’s, 1920’s- and suddenly your into nice stuff! 1905 to much earlier every 6 inches is a span of one year or three.

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

Very interesting!

[@annettesharrock1236]

Your honey suckle and lavender look really pretty. Oh what a shame no treasure. Still Rols you might find something when you are doing more digging 😁 Happy birthday you two cutie dogs. Loved watching Take Care Suzie and Rols😘

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Annette 🤗

[@aprillanders8018]

When I get a chance, I sure enjoy watching your episodes!! The place it looking just beautiful!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!!

[@peterwhite9261]

Happy Birthday, Fleur and Baxter. Too bad, no treasure. ❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Peter 🤗

[@hilliebruinsma8420]

Happy Birthday pups

[@louiseemerson331]

Fun episode! Sorry you did not find any treasure though.☹️

[@KeithWiggins-xc1sf]

That dry old Human poo is very good on the vegetable garden , Here in NZ they make fertiliser out of Human waste its dry and in pallet form . I use it in the garden and hell does the vegetables love it . Its also used on land mostly on dry stock farms .

[@luzwilson4020]

Blessings 😊

[@vickiellibby7051]

Put dirt thru a screen or wire fence with small holes. Helps to find treasure 😅.

[@NatMCI]

Beautiful music and even more beautiful flowers!!!!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you Natasha 🤗

[@machellep1]

Do you have a map of your property, an old one? It would show old buildings and gates, etc. those are not sample bottles , that’s a medicine or perfume bottle. Probably 1920-1940. You’ve only hit the top most layer, it could go up to 6 or more feet deep.

[@claudebernardin1096]

Yes I would have a screen sifter, and a metal detector for the tiny bits

[@fourtails1192]

Happy Birthday 🥳 fur babies 🤗. That's top notch compost 👍✌️

[@paulinefreeman9492]

Lovely compost x but Sunsilk 🤣🤣❤

[@amayastrata4629]

My father in law boiled rhubarb leaves and used the water as weed killer.

[@nelleg152]

Shame no buried treasures ❤

[@daynight4902]

BEST WISHES TO YOU

[@jandolph7509]

You have beautiful flowers around your property. I especially liked your peach colored honeysuckle vine. Your place has improved more than 100 percent inside (home) and outside in your garden areas. It looks so gorgeous and well maintained. 🌸🪻💖🌷💕

[@tamithirion7766]

Not many couples can say they have dug around looking for treasure in a dunny 😂

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

We like to be different 😂

[@kathywillis7459]

Happy birthdays to your furry family members! My own just turned 15. ❤️❤️❤️ take care!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you Kathy ❤️🎂

[@corricatt]

over the centuries, the privies would be cleaned out.. your's may have been before WWII

[@evelyndunham5135]

Your spade is setting off the detector

[@user-px2ys7kg9s]

[@tjbren576]

Is the thin part of the wall where a big old tree stood?

[@josedacosta9847]

It was dogged before.

[@josedacosta9847]

So, no luck.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

🤷🏻‍♂️🚫💰💍🫤

[@sannechristensen978]
