[QUOTE="Hare_Twigga, post: 73474, member: 1994"] There's more to it than this but mottled clay red/grey or brown/grey, I use a hand auger to find it then dig a hole and test for color. If your on gold trench and back fill as you go if it's not to deep. If in doubt or have no idea of the stability of the ground timber it or leave it alone. It takes 1/10 of a second for a side to collapse and it can squash you making it difficult or impossible to breath,even in shallow hole. [/QUOTE]
