Digging through gravel

[Ground Inspector]

What is the best way to dig though gravel?
Let's say I have a good signal at 6" and after digging 2", I hit gravel.
Open to ideas! Thanks

No easy way that I have ever heard of. Lots of sites that have been hit have had the gravel overlooked because of just that problem. Usually only a couple of inches of the hard stuff then you are off to the races.

When digging in gravel , I use a garden fork 3 prong, they work great and can be pick up at any garden shop, Mernards, Lowes, Wal mart etc. The one I use is a heavy duty one about 15 inches in length with the forks being about 3 inches in length.
