Maybe on Sunday when they're back to finish up. I'm looking at ten thousand year old fossilised beach. You could use it as building sand from about 30cm deep below the so-called topsoil. We're wondering where the cable run to my workshop runs in the ground. Not found it yet.

That's the armoured MAINS cable. I don't have a phone in my workshop yet. We have mobile phones now in Scotland. No signal much of the time though.

Our last paddock had a gas main across bottom end, those big orange bollards concreted into hedges either end so an aircraft can see its path country, with this picture in mind

I was hugely careful digging out holes with tractor bucket for gateposts
