I stopped by a private property I just got permission to hunt and failed to bring a good enough shovel...I only had a hand held digging tool. The field was pretty quiet and not tooooo trashy and I found multiple deep targets but gave up digging because the soil had lots of clay and rocks and I wasn't finding them in the top 6-8".....my hand really hurts today!
The property has some heavy use in the late 1800s and is just a field now....so my expectations are pretty high! I wonder if there was perhaps some fill added somewhere along the way but i'll see that better once I dig deeper.
lesson learned...."always bring enough shovel!" Or maybe "don't bring a trowel to a shovel fight"
really rather disappointed that i boneheadedly forgot to bring my big shovel....
