Sure, here's 2 pics of my pond - one from either side.
I may give it a try myself, maybe i'll start by hand with a shovel just to see how deep the muck actually is. I know when I step in it at the one end, I sink a good 2 feet until I hit solid ground.
Sounds like it would be a multiple person job, to make it easier....depending on how quickly it fills back up.
