Dig This!

We all have a favourite shovel. You get so used to using one particular tool that a different one feels horrible, and unbalanced. We have other spare ones, but a missing shovel is cause for a lot of anxiety. Some of the old hands have had theirs for years and woe betide a new boy who touches it. On one occasion a favourite shovel got buried under a truck load of mud. The distraught owner spent hours probing for it with a steel rod. To everyone's relief he found it.
