Dug a brace at a foot deep in an earth near Dunshaughlin, Co.Meath many years ago.

The amazing thing about this was that the earth was in a gate way that tractors used every day. How the occupants were never squashed I'll never know. Where we dug was in the wheel rut too.

Here's 1 I had, box read 3 1/2 ft, broke through at 18 inches, 2 slaps with the shovel and was in, the tubes were like caves though which explained the reading on the box. I went on to dig another 1 in this earth at 4 ft, the box was'nt lying that time. Had quite a few handy digs between 1-2 feet. It's nice to get the handy 1s.

I went for a walk with the 2 terriers tonight at 7.30. Drove 10 mins up the road, in the field for 7.45 and had the earth dug before 8 o clock. Less than a foot deep. Wasn't a test for the bitch but a nice handy one to get under the belt. Took no pics as i wasn't even expecting a dig

on a dig before and the dog settled at 12 foot we dug about 3 foot and whole thing collapsed in . When dust settled so to speak there was the quarry s eyes looking up at us . THATS WHAT I CALL HANDY
