Armed with a shovel, I started to dig around and found the concrete floor to be 1-2 inches thick. After breaking through that layer, I continued to dig about 2ft down but found nothing out of the ordinary. At this point I began to worry about collapse and we gave up. The conclusion I am coming to it the pit was possibly used for alcohol storage during prohibition or "hooker storage"

I have left a few items in the hole for the next explorer which are sure to get a rise out of them.

And that concluded the journey to the center of the pit
