Had to do the same with one of the best I've ever owned after a 12 footer in running sand, it was dangerous for us on the shovels but proved a lot worse my little bitch, unfortunately there was no way back for her after that dig and she was buried in that earth.
Fcukin broke my heart if I'm honest and I blame myself for putting her in somewhere I knew was deep so early in the season as it usually took a few digs before she'd settle and work sensibly, we'd had digs of 3 and 4 foot in that place but I knew it ran deeper so I was an asshole for chancing it.
