If they are anything like the Jack I had, you could just drop a possum down the pipe and they'd have that thing dug out in no time!

well we are all very curious! the descriptions fits some of those guesses. I dont think it would be a fuel tank because a fuel tank would not have a 4" pipe coming out of it and probably made of metal. i dont know much about root cellars but would they have a vent pipe in them? my suspicion is that you wont find any treasures. if you poke it with a few feet of metal rod you will find that it is probably a water storage tank or more likely a septic tank from a previous home. it could be made out of decomposed wood so be very careful. Let some one know you are going to be messing around on top of it.
My last guess is that it could be a hand dug well or spring that has been capped for a pump. depending on the water table you may not have had to dig far to get water.

Yes. it is fairly common for a root cellar to have a vent.

You would think the OP would ay least update the thread. Even if just to say he decided against digging it up.

I haven't posted in this thread yet, been checking it everyday though. Fall is in the air, so cooler. Get a darn shovel and start digging, for sake of our mental well being. I'm going to have to break out the Xanax if we don't find out soon. This is as bad as the time the little girl was trapped in the well and you couldn't keep from checking the news.

Humans are curious beasts, aren't we?? I keep opening this thread hoping to see the mystery revealed, too.

Well, first off Fall is here and my priority is firewood. Secondly, I bought my wife a new flashlight........... Third, the spot I would have to dig is right on the edge of the driveway, and the exact spot I turn my truck around, and being the only convenient spot to turn around. My plan is to find a very small remote video camera to get a look and see if whatever is down there is worth digging up. Does anyone rent such a thing?

You might get a chimney cleaner or well driller to come out and send a camera down. With your track record of dropping things down that hole I know I wouldn't rent one to you. (kidding, sort of)

Yes, my tendency to drop things down random holes has caused me no end of troubles.............

we may have to take up a collection to buy him a camera if we're ever going to find out.

Doesn't Roto Rooter have cameras on their drain line - cleaner outers?
Is it possible the previous owner held somebody hostage, buried them in the bunker, and the family of the hostage never paid up? Or they did pay up and they just never got their family member back?
You know, like the movie Guarding Tess, where the chauffeur's family talked him into taking the Ex-President's wife hostage, and buried her in a bunker in their barn - with no intention of digging her back out?

Hmm....I got something like that myself....always assumed it was old well but it could be something else. It's near the back section of my outbuilding which is set up really odd. It's divided and I use the front section as a chicken coop. If you didnt know about the other section you'd never notice it....I don't use that back section currently but maybe I need to check it for a root cellar entrance....
