Question about soil and digging
Went out yesterday afternoon for about 30 min to an old park from the 1800's in another town. I was actually driving thru the town when I saw it. Had a sign calling the name of the park and est. in 1889. Anyway, I found a few clad coins, but what I found was it is that old buckshot mud, or gumbo mud. Hard as a rock when it's dry, all cracked up. Does anyone have suggestions on what type of tool to use in it. My garden shovel would hardly make a dent past 2-3 inches.
 Just wanted to know if anyone else has this soil.Rob

oops I forgot
Get the orange handle #85 digger. It will stand out against the dark soil and you will not forget to pick it up.

chizzle/hammer
I had to use a chizzle and hammer to get through a hard packed clay which covered man layed limestone rock. The 4" of clay was covered by about a few inches of soil and grass.

Glad I read this thread
Most the soil around here (Galt, Ca.) is clay a pick ax bounces off of. Specially when dry
