I was wondering if anyone else uses a pitchfork when probing or digging old bottles. I know it sounds relatively risky, but honestly, I've broken more bottles with shovels than when I've used a pitchfork. Even in dumps where it's hard packed. I loosen the earth with a pitchfork, then clear the debris with a shovel. It may be the antithesis of digging, but I haven't broken a bottle yet (knock on wood). Just asking if any of you do the same thing.
