here' a little trick. after i dug some areas deeper and filled some low bank areas , there was alot of loose dirt on the bottom still there. so i bolted a 8"x8"x3/4" 6' angle to the bucket and pulled it across the bottom to shore. you got get the feel. i had the angle , i'm sure a pc of I beam work too. just made for a cleaner job. rented equipment you might get some heat for burning holes in the bucket. maybe some xtra xtra heavy duty clamps work. just an idea. \:\)

i only wanted to have some fun
