judging from the images at the website, it doesn't look anywhere near a hundred yards...one metre beneath the surface might be closer...

sorry, I missed the humerous intent, obviously.

That part wasn't exactly strictly humerous intent; just humerous phrasing of my incredulity, unless it & they were in a long (not deep) cave. I have been known to dig 4 or 5 feet for garnets, gold, and certain agates; and deeper for old bottles.
I'm glad you posted the pics.
Our local (6 miles from me...2, after I finally get to the pavement from the ranch house) mammoth excavation is maybe 20' deep, max, and it was a sink hole they got trapped in.

It’s a minor thread jacking attempt. Logic isn’t required.

There are still whales in the Mediterranean today.

"Why would a flood cause the whale to die? They live in the water."
Yes, they live in the water, but when the water recedes, they die in the air (assuming they get caught in the mamoth equivalent of a tidal pool).

I was not aware that Noah’s flood occurred four million years ago.
I thought all Wales was on the coast.
I’m not gonna rimshot, because I’m sure you all just heard one in your heads.
Weird, all the keywords are listed in all lowercase now. Nice improvement.
