Read the Wiki article titled gravel pit. If they have not filled with water to become swimming holes, they are a good place for shooting as they can keep stray bullets from penetrating the houses nearby. Unless she leased a portion of her farm for sand and gravel extraction, I rather doubt the pit was on her property. BTW, Palmisani Nature Park in Bridgeport, Chicago, has some nice pits filled with water.

Thx for the South Side tip. I was born south of Bridgeport. I'm putting it on my to-do list for my next visit to Chicago.
