Homemade Septic Tank location:  WGS84 decimal lat, lon:    LAT 29.739208  LON -98.011496
Lat-Lon coordinates are within maybe 15 feet I think, and in a thicket but I cut a path in there with clippers from the pasture road.

Septic tank is about 10 feet in diameter, about 4 feet deep, and rock lined.  The rock is Edwards limestone natural weathered rock, not quarried, cut, or chiseled rock.  Rock was transported at least several miles as there is no Edwards near the surface at this property.

Some of the construction was square nails because I found a few there on the current pasture road which passes directly over the
former homestead.
