Back in 2012, I was digging a test pit with a garden trowel and a kitchen sieve. Now I use a Marshalltown pointing trowel and a set of nested geological screens. The change happened after my professor at the University of Texas saw my 'method' and just sighed.
Imagine the look on his face, watching you sift dirt with a kitchen sieve like you're looking for lost change in a sandbox. That sigh was probably him thinking his whole career was a mistake. At least you upgraded before you tried to dig a unit with a soup spoon.
But what was he even digging for? That sigh sounds like a guy who's seen some real nonsense out there. Makes you wonder what the worst tool he's ever seen someone try to use was.
