[QUOTE="lukem, post: 315907, member: 7115"] im not quite sure how you can disagree with the reality evident by every single person who has ever dug sand/gravel out of water? A shovel head has a flat degreed central curvature. With no side walls or deep concave to stop any amount of loose material flowing over when lifted through water. Sensibility would suggest that the faster you lift unsupported loose material through water the more you would loose. If you overfilled a truck dog with soil the faster you go the more you'll loose; much the same. Sorry but there is no "skill" in using a shovel, its one of the first outdoor toys/beach toys any kid gets when they're 2. The method never changes. Dig, lift, turn, pour. [/QUOTE]
