I have the first pic of it from this season in my profile. Their are two of them both with a concrete bottom but good luck finding the bottom in the one pit lol I havent yet. If anyone wants to know the location of them since they are semi secluded let me know. Be happy to share them with anyone. I was cought their last year by a teen and I told him I was looking for crayfish and with a smile he said good luck and went on his way, but in the last two years thats the only tume ive seen anyone their.
i just finished the first pit its 7 and a half ft. deep and i still didnt find bottom but the muds amazing. and the other pic shows the two pits side by side and the concrete barier between them just so you all know im not yanking anyones chain here.
id be very happy to show or inform anyone where it is. its not hard to find at all just a lil scarry at first since it is in the basement of an old pump house but not unsafe at all the building is very intact no structural issues at all. only problem, you might want to purchase a small energizer waterproof headlamp for 10 or 20 bucks at walmart. their is some light from the drain grates that shines through and gives fresh air but its not well lit. have fun all
Hey, stopped to take a look when I worked a shift at Meritus but didn't see the exact spot. I saw a small, old brick industrial looking building that was fenced off looking down off a bridge. Took a short walk down into an area near it, looked like someone had been living down there. Was I close?
You were very close. Inside the little brick building closest to the bridge when your looking in the door way you will see a busted out window that over looks the water. If you walk toward the window you will notice two open holes in the floor. The one on the left if your faceing the window is the one you need to go down. Their you will see a built in ladder in the concrete. Go down with a light and youve found the two pits. Just be mindful that ive been trying to make them deeper so just becareful on your sink and it can accommodate two easily now.
Ive been so busy the last few days working on the pit. Its comming along great and is getting bigger and deeper by the day. My hopes are when its done that you will be able to fit four people comfortably. If any one needs more info on it or would like a tour please let me know id be happy to show it anytime. Im just excited that didvp is intrested in using it in a video possibly . Take care everyone and stay muddy n' messy.
More recent pics from in the pit. These are without flash because ive moved some dirt around to bring more light in. If anyone wants to join let me know.
