It depends what he was digging.
I was digging in a huge gravel bar once . A person accused me of breaking the law until I pointed out the river banks were 40 metres apart and roughly parallel to the undulating gravel bar I was digging into.
If you had a negative visual acuity it may have looked like a riverbank unless you took a bigger view and looked past the scrub growing on it
