Then there was the time I did a buried seismic system around a small parking lot, maybe 50' square. It only took two weeks to ditch.

When you park D9s on coral for 20 years, the result is a lot like poured concrete.  We set the DW up in the morning, filled it with gas, and let it run. Come back a few hours later, tank dry, another 2-3' done, and a big pile of powder.

After that, I had to make the thing work, sitting literally across the street from the antenna at LuaLuaLei.  Many kW at few kHz.

Dredging up ditching memories.
