Anybody know? Thanks!
Probably wise to ask. Best problems are the ones that do not happen. It is not unusual for the level to change. People add soil. The mower guys run heavy riding mowers over them. Rain etc etc etc. That tool. The doughnut is not sitting on the pipe. . That hand tool is essentially a trimmer, No need to go down deep with it. If, you hit something stop and see what it is.

Interesting perhaps. I found a broken lower jaw bone. From a large dog or perhaps a wolf.
