This was in Louisiana when the Ant Lab at LSU was commissioned by a British TV show to dig up a leaf cutter ant nest. This species, Atta texana, is the only one that occurs in North America.

The ants are moving these leaves into their nest to be chewed up to grow a fungus which they then consume as food! How cool!
This man is digging a hole for the emergency latrine that we want to install, it has to be at least four meters deep! It's amazing how hard these people worked and how fast the emergency latrines could be implemented!
Obviously there is gold and great treasure hidden in the mud, and this guy and his friends are going to find it.
Here I've welded the base of the shank to the black pipe (6013 weld rod is my favorite for this job) The next part took me a while to learn via several failures but is the secret to this lifetime tool. I have to render the TIP of the shank immobile where it lies encased now in the black pipe. I accomplish this by cranking up the arc welder to 135 amps and blast a small hole near the premeasured location of the shank tip. I then lay the weld bead on the shank through the hole I've made and slowly withdraw the rod filing the hole as I withdraw the rod. Look at the white dot on the black pipe to the left of the tip of the displayed weld rod. That's the fill hole now closed. I now flip the fork over and repeat the immobilization of the shank on the opposite side.
Experience shows me that this procedure stops any shank flexing inside the pipe and keeps my first weld from breaking loose. All I do now is coat the black pipe with liquid nails, a glue, and force it into the stainless steel pipe. This is the best fork not found on the market to avoid the frustration of another broken garden tool. It is made of TOtally REcycled MAterials (TOREMA) and money can't buy it. With all materials on hand I made two lifetime quality digging forks in under twenty five minutes. The fork leverages better for hard soils because it is long -handled and splinters in the hands aren't possible as there is no wood to weather. I paint the tines gold and call it "The TOREMA gold digger!"
It was the most beautiful summer evening, near midnight, sun was setting soon. Suddenly the girls wanted to go fishing to the lake. First they had to find some worms. . .

My cows have pawed holes in the pasture.
I fill them in and they just dig them out again.
In this photo my bull is doing the pawing, but the cow beside is the one that does most of the digging.
that beach at the western sea is famous among koreans, who likes to harvest fresh seafood by themselfs. Foreigners gets curious - is it worth to dig a sand by yourself?
«Faccio spesso sogni riguardanti i vecchi tempi. Sogno che stavo pescando su di una barca... ma è inutile, ora. È tutto dentro di me, nel mio cuore. E torna a mostrarmisi come in una visione. Ma tutto ciò è inutile: l'unico luogo verso cui salperò, ora, sarà la tomba.»
Expansion Update: Concrete is gone. You can see the challenges in digging when your located on the edge of a "river." i.e. Rocks!
Maggs digs in to position as the pitcher readies to toss a pitch. Magglio had a good night out in right field, but did miss a chance to make a nice sliding catch on a ball hit to the right center gap. Note the rare grass stains on his pants.
