If I had a dollar for every sack of drilling mud Ive dumped into both
mud pits and shot hole pits..Id be a very very rich man today. If I
had a nickle for every shovel of cuttings Ive scooped out of shot hole
mud pits, Id be even richer.
This is one of the reasons I view #2 round point shovels with some

I grew up raising rice, so if you drill three holes in the blade and
weld a step on top, you've got one of my least favorite implements in
the world.
