FAIR play to you lads you like them deep.

On a lighter note my mate was walking his dogs over some local fields and there where a few fellas digging ,kerry blue standing beside em,he stopped and the lads asked "wheres the nest"my mate says just dig where the dogs barking he should be at the nest,what sort of dogs you digging?"we ve no dog in we re just trying to fing the nest".He walked on home and came back the next day t backfill the 10ft trench.Earth was never used again till about 5 years ago.

Wheres the nest?

bryan that shovel with the yellow handel,the army surplus middelton?i bought one last saturday i believe,and good digging lads bloody hard work.

[Bryan 1,362]

yeah jigsaw thats the one,

it's only handy really nothing special, i wouldn't like to lever it too much but handy for the price.that dig was easy on it because we picked through 2 feet of gravel then it was just scooping out sand.

best thing about that one , it was it's first dig,we went on looking for more and the 1/2 a terrierman left it behind him !!! (good job he's sound really)

best shovel i've come across so far was a catipillar made bulldog nosed,yellow fibre handled one

Paddy you know too much,lol.thats my intention,put a metal handel on it.Bryan whered you get the catipillar shovel from?

[Bryan 1,362]

here's the caterpillar shovel,it has a nice true temper drop forged head, the handle has a bit of flex in it and plenty space for your hand in the D.it's a nice size and weight for going deep and throwing over your head, but is a bit light, if it's all you had for stoney or rooty ground.

i got it a few years ago in HSS tool hire,but can't find any since

the picture make it look shorter and smaller than it is

In response to Corkonian and Jigsaw,

I to hunt down that direction and i know

a group of lads that constantly go down there

and don't back fill. They leave holes everywhere.

Most of the earths they go to are left with more holes than a pool table!

just as i was about to abandon this site your chat has woke me up those digs were right special. i had a 10 foot dig this year in a bank down the valleys. couldnt believe it just after i said to the lads "adig is a dig" then spent the rest of the day removing slate. exausted we still back filled like we were never there. shame you lads are accross the water.
