Terracotta Warrior Army
In the spring of 1974, farmers digging a well in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an, Shaanxi province China, were startled to discover an intact terracotta head. From there acheologists began to unearth an astonishing scene — a cavernous vault containing an entire army of warriors meant to guard the Emperor Qin Shi Huang as he made his journey into the afterlife. View the incredible sight for yourself.
Maggie, our coach, demonstrates correct double digging technique. Note the board to distribute weight and not pack down soil.
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!"
A Hawk sounded an alarm and all activity ceased. All the Meerkat's headed toward their holes in the ground.

Miller and a co-worker bury inert items for the Huntsville Survey at Pine Bluff Arsenal, Arkansas, in January 2013.

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?

Looks like an archaeological dig in progress. This are probably due to be covered over by student flats to match those already in place across the street.
«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.»

Abi's afternoon project... a little digging by the front porch. She gets this from me. I can't tell you how many mudpies I made in my childhood.
