Titus, it is people like you that keep America moving forward, your invention isn't fool proof but for people that live in area's where this can be used it's a back saver, thank you!
Sorry if this is a repeat reply...but why are so many people that critical/negative/pessimistic. ..etc...He never made any specific claims about what it (soil/rock/clay/granite/lava, etc) would actually go through....bottom line it's a great invention and if it suits your ground type, patience, and physicality depending on how hard your "ground" is...then please just admire a man who is (seems to be...I don't know him at all) showing you another great option for fence post holes!! Thank you for your invention...Who ever you are!
Thank you so much for being a bit more observant than most. I am 70 years old, retired engineer and I love the physics of this digger. It is easy to use and saves the back. I have had two bulging discs and a crushed disc. No surgery and this hole was easy to dig. Many people cannot afford to hire tractors to come dig a few post holes. It is not the speed but the ease. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Please visit the web page. www.holeymoleydigger.com. By the way the orders are coming in and the business is growing. I like rebuilding America one digger at a time. thanks again.
@@driverjamescopeland as the people in Missouri say "show me" I have never seen this apparatus before. You said they've been around for decades, show me.
Turns out the best method for digging a straight hole with the Holey Moley Digger is to just look down and keep the vacuum tube centered in the hole. Works like a charm, no extra cost for plumb bob. Sometimes the simplest method is overlooked by everyone, including me.
Mike Latta I moved over two feet and hit a water pipe. I moved two feet further and hit a 10" diameter tree root. I then broke for a beer and put things up for a cooler day.
Yes sir! Colorado...... where a post hole digger is USELESS! I lived there for 44 years and NEVER dug a post hole without having to use a breaker bar. This is a very cool invention, but useless in places like that
Totally awesome, what a common sense approach to digging a hole quickly and without power tools.All you would need is a heavy duty dust collector to go in between the vacuum and post hole digger and your vacuum would never see any of the dirt!!
That device would be a cyclonic separator on top of a collection can. Works great. I would be glad to sell that but as you can see from comments that the current price is too much. So, what I did was develop the Post Hole Core Digger, which lifts very little dirt. The digger cuts a core and the vacuum holds the plug inside while you lift it out of the hole. You get the best of two worlds. holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ scan down and watch the video. thanks for your replay I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to reply
Not a fair response. The simulated post was just sitting there. When putting a post in you first dig a hole then line up with a level and fill with dirt/concrete.
Great demonstration. When the video started, showing the hole being dug with an older white-haired guy, I thought this will be interesting. The older guy barely broke a sweat to show the ease of the method. Great video. I hope the young guys watching this for that weekend project at home are willing to give this a try as there is not much physical manual labor involved. The hole is completed with next to no clean-up at this hole site. That in itself makes this a very worthwhile method. Again, Great Video!
Thank you. I am the old goat in the video. I am almost 76 and still digging holes. Even with two bulging disks from years of mining and fire fighting ( I got smart and became an engineer) the Holey Moley Digger is easy on the back. Most customers are over 50 years old.
The digger does just fine in Red Rock Cyn. This video is made in Los Angeles in compact Adobe Clay. The digger does just in in Red Clay in St. George, UT. It will cut through steel pipe, electrical conduit, water pipes, tree roots, and much more. There are a lot of things it won't go through. This is not a do-it-all tool. Like any tool, right tool for the job, and the material. Made is the USA too. We are putting people to work. Lot of positive stuff here you just have to recognize it.... Thanks for watching.
after this video, I got a huge shop vac and vacuumed mulch into it and just dragged it to the flower bed and dumped it out . WAY better than shoveling. Also did it with topsoil. Dug a 70 foot drain and used that same shop vac to suck the dirt out. I am getting the holey moley to do fence posts. That earthquake auger was brutal, as far as the effects on your body. All that shaking and vibration erodes your vertebrae and causes nerve damage with prolonged use. I worked as a Nurse in pain management, we had so many people with back and nerve issues from vibrating machinery. Even if it takes twice as long, your body isn't being damaged.
I wish there was a product like that that would work with many large rocks underground like where I live. Impressive demonstration for the soil where you are.
When you hit a rock, remove the digger and use the vacuum hose to suck the dirt from around the rock for easy removal. If you need a bigger hole for a large rock we have reamers up to 12 inches. This allows for keeping the hole uniform with minimum dirt removal and getting those bad rocks out. Use the shop vacuum to your advantage it is a very under utilized tool. See us at cat6tools.com/. Here is our new web site, Home of the Holey Moley Digger. cat6tools.com/ Also enjoy my video on this product being made in America. ua-cam.com/video/513PTZMT-DE/v-deo.html
Our core digger works well for clay and at 6 inches, a lot of river rock can then be exposed and lifted out of the hole. We have reamers also will real a 6 inch hole out to 12 inches relatively fast.
Brilliant! Good old fashioned ingenuity at its best. I have 50 yards of post and wire fence to put up in solid clay soil. Last week it took two of us a tractor and a post knocker (£36,000 of equipment) three hours straight to do similar. I so wish you were here in the uk!
I have to comment because I have alot of postholes to dig in spring and I loath listening to a gas auger for hours, you usually need two people to run it AND there's a pile of tailings to shovel up to try and pack down the hole, unless your using concrete to set your posts but either way it's a frickin mess that I hate dealing with, but besides the speed of your device (Outstanding BTW!) the fact that the tailings from the hole are nicely contained in the Shop Vac instead of all around the post hole, Freaking Awesome. Well done Sir and thanks, one of your devices will save me alot of time this spring!
I could think of another use for this device! Gold prospecting in dry sandy country like we have here downunder. Basically all our goldfields are in deserts where sometimes it doesn't rain in a decade. So we have no water or sluices etc for gold prospecting everything is either a metal detector and or a dry blower. With this device you could core drill all your sample holes & pan off (or dry blow) each one back at camp if you just put the dust into a sample bag for each hole!. The traditional way was to dig costeans trenches by hand in the old days or with a backhoe or trencher these days - to try and ascertain what direction the gold is coming from. A series of holes like this would seem much simpler because it gathers and contains the dust for you at each sample hole. Once you work out where its coming from - well then you might get a grader or dozer in to strip off the top soil but at least you would know where to spend the diesel stripping ff the non pay dirt from the top to get at the good pay dirt below. This has me wondering why the mining drillers who do all the ore sampling for big mining operations don't utilize this technique on a bigger industrial scale at least where it collects the samples for them, when they are drilling claims to prove deposits before going to the stock market with a prospectus once they have confirmed likely reserves from their core drill samples. This method would seem to be a lot faster method & these days time is money as they say. Maybe they need the traditional drilling methods to penetrate rock maybe?. Interesting all the same. Enjoyed the video for sure. I dug a lot of fencepost holes back in my day 4 feet down for a deer fence... many kilometers of it... I wish I woulda had one of these to do it! I used a old long drop post hole digger & a crow bar and sledge hammer - it was hard going all the way. Wish you every success with it.
We work with Keene Engineering a leader in gold dredging and dry wash systems. We rep their HVS system listed as our Portable Engine Driven Shop Vacuum. holeymoleydigger.com/product/portable-engine-driven-shop-vacuum/ Thanks for the great post. You are so kind. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and to post.
Ian Moone this would be LOUSY for core sampling....it gives you a pile that doesn't tell you the stratification of debris or at what depth the gold is at. The depth and amount together tell you if that area is to be checked, that is why they they do "core" sampling instead of just using an earth auger and pulling up soil.... THAT SAID, for small operations that are only going to check down a few feet, could easily fill a niche...
I like it, my only question would be regarding the motor on the shop-vac, burnout from heating up, but I'm definitely DIGGING the concept....Good stuff sir!!!
A 200 CFM shop vacuum will pull 1 pound of gravel a second. It will not burn up. They are made for picking up all kids of stuff. I have been digging with one shop vacuum for over 20 years and its still running. Have no fear.
The Ridgid Shop vacuum will pull in 1 pound of gravel a second. They are made for this. The shop vacuum is one of the most under utilized tools that many people have. I have used a Dayton vacuum digging holes for over 20 years now. Trying it out.
I used my little shop vac on a post hole about a year ago. I did it after researching all the youtube videos I could find and then it hit me; the shop vac was just sitting there on my patio. Next time I'll fashion some kind of cutting head instead of the pipe I used.
That worked pretty good! On the farm, I'd have to carry a generator out there to power the vacuum. So, the Post Hole Digger (tractor mounted auger) works better. But in a city or the suburbs? That is the perfect tool for putting up a fence for your property!! I hope you sell a million of them!!!
That actually might be the best use of it!! Let's see... how many scientists test soil worldwide? I could see each county in America having one of these. It makes a clean sample and they could dump the vacuum at whatever depth increment they wanted to get an exact sample for every inch.
I live and work in the oilfields of the sovereign state of Alberta, this "hole digger" reminds me of a Vac-Truck, small scale, no water/high pressure water injection, smaller diameter. I really like that you can secure the post (2") in the hole without cement. I'd put air behind, supplying the cutting head, it would make it a lot more efficient. A double walled cutting pipe design with adjustable supply air opening at/near the top.

Thanks for the note. The physics behind it is actually quite impressive. It took me years to figure out why it worked and then I was able to improve it. It goes like gang busters and is fun to use. Check out the video on my core digger. It will work in Wet and well as really hard clay. ua-cam.com/video/ueI-oNNRX2k/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you sir. You are kind. This digger is fun to dig with. If you get one and make a video, make sure you keep it straight (otherwise people will complain (diggers that don't dig straight holes get complaints), and of course make sure you don't have a broken fence in the background (even though thats that reason for digging the post holes) bad fences get complaints too. Love all the comments about the darnest things
holeymoleydigger.com/product/fence-post-hole-digger/ Best way is to order on-line. I get the order direct and take care of it. Or you can call me direct and I will enter the order. 702-533-4363
I was a fence installer for over a decade and have hand dug thousands of holes by hand, this would work great for line post in the right areas where there are no large rocks or tree roots.
bloody terrific, if you are sinking post's for a living this would be the first tool of the truck. In a situation where it was not suitable then, as always ,you find a way to get the job done. Time and effort saved relates to easy money .would be a treat in the tight spots too.
Not so much genius but quite a few years of "try and fail and try and succeed" effort. It has been many years in the making. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
Thanks for the note. Yes and more coming. Amazing the comments from people that you would swear have used it a week and think they know exactly how it works. It is so easy to criticize. I enjoy hitting the erase button. Thanks again for watching.

your a good man standing behind your product and idea, half of the people bashing probably wouldnt have the ballz to respond to all the comments but you stand firm , right on man!
Thanks Gary... I get to delete the idiots too. This will make my public sales presentations rock solid. Good marketing info. Thanks for the support. You're a good man sir.
been doing this method of excavation for 20 years on an industrial scale in the construction industry. We called this vacuum pot holing, for locating underground utilities without damaging them. No cutter head involved. Used presurized water and vacuum only. I personally got this method approved by MDOT to install traffic light bases instead of the auger method that was the only approved way at the time. Nice homeowners tool though.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. Same with the clay in Georgia and Alabama. The clay in my backyard bent the blades of the two-inch arbors I tried. Never got deeper than about four to five inches. Nothing short of heavy duty commercial equipment has any chance of getting through that stuff.
@Danny DNA .. A old fashioned post hole digger would barely make a dent in southern red clay. I've never seen anything like it. I'd rather try digging through rocks. At least rocks will move, while this clay won't.
@@robinstewart6510 try West Virginia out, we have a healthy mix of both red clay and sandstone. Makes for an interesting time whenever you've got digging to do.
titus, watched the video. you did a really great job developing this. I have patented an idea and am now beginning the marketing. and honestly it's a daunting job, everyone is a critic, and has seen it before, knows it won't work, seen a better one, etc etc.etc. I have dug hundreds of holes 1 foot in diameter by 4 foot deep in sand, clay, hard pan, river edge gravel, clay and ledge, etc. for deck piers where I live in western mass rocks are between 6 inches and 24 inches across and can weigh well over 100 pounds. I can tell. you if I was still digging holes for decks I would buy this just on the off chance it would do even half the holes halfway down. its a great innovation, looks well made, really a great price for the labor it offsets. I wish you great luck and hope the money holds until you make it big time. wishing you the very best, Geoff
Geoff: Just for this comment, I am going to put you on the list for the first freebee when I get there. Don't let me forget. I will cherish this comment for the rest of my days. The comment makes this whole road worthwhile. Thank you sir. You are so kind.
I am looking for a magnetic round centering bubble. Only one needed on the operator side. This would work very well. I have seen them on tripods. I would buy if someone would make. Thanks for the post.
Now, what you could do, is make a manifold that adapts to the vacuum to multiple five gallon buckets for ease of refilling the holes.... might even be able to make something to blow the dirt back in with the vac.

Wow! Great idea. I wonder if you could dig a well with it? Might need more suction as you get deeper. Would more than pay for its self with one hole. Another great aspect is how clean it leaves the area after you are finished! Congratulations!
Need more airflow. Max with a shop vacuum at 12 amps is about 200 CFM. A shallow well to 20 feet is relatively easy unless you get into soft ground or gravel that keeps flowing in. Then you have a problem. The physics of this device has potential to do 75 to 100 feet depending on the soil. At that depth the weight of the digger becomes an issue for a single user without lifting equipment.
It works great in clay as long as there is a little sand or gravel. Pure clay especially if wet is a pain. I am just about ready with a mini-hydro digger that works great in clay. See us at Cat 6 Tools, LLC . cat6tools.com/product/holey-moley-post-hole-digger/
WOW!! sir I am very impressed, as a qualified shovel operator with a natural gas utility company in Texas, but there is nothing better than 100 degree, and a giant pile of spoil to lay on while I take my 4 min break thanks, yet I found this video Google a better way to dig a hole on my lunch
Andres: Thank you so much for the note and taking the time to watch the video. Take a look at the web page at www.holeymoleydigger.com for more info. My video tab has 15 videos to look at. Take a look at The Post Hole From Hell and the Post Hole Core Digger... Regards, Titus
Thank you. Took a long time to develop this product and to get a patent. Here is a video that is short but interesting. ua-cam.com/video/513PTZMT-DE/v-deo.html\
pash20 he probably started to dig and two shovels in says "fuck this I'm gonna invent the holeymoley" and then forgot about the fence after realizing he was bound for grestness
I first tought that was nuts. Genius really. You would think that would have worked but there it is! It would not work around my property because I barely can get a backhoe to dig a hole on my property. Worth a shot!
Made a video in front of Oroville Dam and now people want it fixed. The owner of this house got rid of the fence and used the digger for posts for the new fence.
That reminded me of a show and tell in high school. I liked sculpting out of soap bars so I decided my show and tell was going to be on that. I went up and showed them a hand with the peace sign sculpted from soap. I then showed them a big bar of soap. I told them ,"Now all you have to do is cut off anything that doesn't look like a hand."
Very clever idea. In principle, it's just like the drills that people use for wells, but you're replacing the drilling mud with air flow to remove the tailings. If you add a bit of water to the dirt when you backfill the hole, it should consolidate and hold the post with a rock-solid grip.
I have a gas powered post hole digger that bores a hole in seconds, am I missing the benefit here? Why not just get a gas auger? I'm not knocking this, it worked very well. Its just that its limited by the shop vac cord and you have to manually cut through the dirt.
David: excellent idea. I will have a cyclonic separator over a dump bucket soon. Nothing goes down stream to the shop vac. But, costs more $ and as you can see by some comments, too much already.

I have dug hundreds of vertical feet and many holes with shop vacs that are still running after 30 years. You underestimate the utility of a shop vac and have under utilized any that are sitting in your garage. I have an excellent blog article "Can your little shop-vac suck rocks up" holeymoleydigger.com/suck-rocks/. Don't underutilize a fantastic tool, use it for what it was made to do. They were made to suck dirt.
Thanks for watching. We are offering post hole digger kits that require some assembly, drilling and riveting, that make nice projects for kids. holeymoleydigger.com/product/posthole-digger/ Let me know if you are interested.
in that soil, with a pair of diggers, id have that hole dug in about 1min and 30 seconds. post set in 30 seconds. i live in new England and its Rocky. glacier deposits and little top soil. maybe for the plains states but certainly wont be a seller in the commercial industry. home owner special. i work for a fence company and unfortunately dig A LOT of holes. love the ingenuity though. nice engineering.
Much appreciated comment. I have a Post Hole Core Digger that is dynamite. It works with Wet Clay and Hard Compact Clay. I will have more videos of it coming. Of course I am spending a lot of time setting up for videos etc. So not the most perfect way to demo a product. I am learning fast. Here is the link to my Core Hole Digger - holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ There is a video at the bottom. I am making this with replaceable hardened teeth. Much more industrial. Keep in touch. Thanks again,
Wow . I have been gathering materials and finishing other home projects . About ready to put in some fence posts when I saw this . I really do not need to be digging down in my solid clay dirt with the shovels in my garage . been there done that . My question is how did you make that special hole saw fitting , ( it looks perfect for the task . I already have the exact same vacuum from Home Depot . Thank you Titus . This could save my back and take hours of sweat off my day. .Great engineering and completion on your Invention ( Super Fast Holey-Moley Fence Post Hole Digger ) . Fantastic .
The hole saw works extremely well. We laser cut the holes in the top to get the right air flow. We get over 100 mph wind in the digger head all going. toward the center. Quite a tornado. And, keep it quiet please, there is quit a charge on particles that helps break the dirt apart. Like a huge, contained dust storm. The patent is incredible and was issued as written. It is amazing to experience the digger at work. That is why most people, the first word out of their mouth is Holeyl-Moley. Watch this video - ua-cam.com/video/2tRdsYtha_Q/v-deo.html
I'm crying all over again for the hundreds of blisters acquired digging postholes, sprinkler systems, and footings with shovels, spades, angers, spikes, and any other CURSED torture device you can remember or imagine.
Keith: My Post Hole Core Digger will do very well in Clay (hard or wet). holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ Let me know if you are interested.
"first six inches are pretty hard, next six inches were a little softer". I found this video by its commentary. I have to say that I was initially disappointed, but it's a great invention all the same !
Thanks Kerry. Yup! Patent Pending. Selling direct to consumers is more fun. The rate that big box stores are closing I don't trust them. For awhile, I will sell direct and give good customers service. Nothing like calling up the owner of a business and giving him shit if the product fails or you have a problem and need help.
Tom: You are right. Too wet with clay and it starts to clog. All hand digging tools do. That is why I developed the Post Hole Core DIgger. It works in extreme hard clay and wet clay to the point of being mushy, and most of the in between. It is easy to change out the digger heads. holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ This is designed for clay soils and it works extremely well. There are huge areas in the country with clay without rocks.
I think this is great. Since my 6 ft bar is worn down to 3 ft from digging a large hole that is need to put in posts. We use to mix a little Portland cement and water with the fine dirt. Amazing that it has lasted for 25 years.
Titus Look like it works very well beats the hell out of a post hole digger and it looks like you will have a much better cleaner and stronger hole to back fill.
I'm laughing. Hard to focus on level when you're making a video, fighting mike cords, low camera batteries, barking dogs, kids yelling in swimming pools, and gardeners with leaf blowers. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you taking time to watch the video and making a comment. Have a good one.
2:48 "We just went through another rock." Where I'm from everything that can fit up the tube and into the vacuum are considered "fines." The rocks which we have more than I want to admit to start at 8". Between the fines and the 8" rocks is just gravel. Looks like a cool tool for a sandy piece of property though.
The shop vac is one of the most underrated digging tools. See all our blog articles at cat6tools.com/all-posts/ See our videos on the digger here: cat6tools.com/post-hole-digger-videos/

I have never seen this apparatus before. You said they've been around for decades, show me.
neat idea, like jetting a hole, only in reverse. Needs a tripod so you can maintain plumb though.
good observation!
Turns out the best method for digging a straight hole with the Holey Moley Digger is to just look down and keep the vacuum tube centered in the hole. Works like a charm, no extra cost for plumb bob. Sometimes the simplest method is overlooked by everyone, including me.
"The Greatest Inventions of all time had humble beginnings" Well done Sir!
As a Colorado native, I just have to ask. What does it feel like to dig a hole and not hit basketball sized or larger rocks?
Mike Latta I moved over two feet and hit a water pipe. I moved two feet further and hit a 10" diameter tree root. I then broke for a beer and put things up for a cooler day.

Mike Latta in Knox County, OH, gravel pit of the state, you’d have pecs and abs of steel, but no hole.
@@titusnelson4958 That's also a positive thing about your product: It won't break pipes, like you might accidentally do with auger or diggers.
Yeah, I was wondering if he was in bottom land somewhere, 'cause it ain't the Ozarks.
Totally awesome, what a common sense approach to digging a hole quickly and without power tools.All you would need is a heavy duty dust collector to go in between the vacuum and post hole digger and your vacuum would never see any of the dirt!!
That device would be a cyclonic separator on top of a collection can. Works great. I would be glad to sell that but as you can see from comments that the current price is too much. So, what I did was develop the Post Hole Core Digger, which lifts very little dirt. The digger cuts a core and the vacuum holds the plug inside while you lift it out of the hole. You get the best of two worlds. holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ scan down and watch the video. thanks for your replay I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to reply

Great demonstration. When the video started, showing the hole being dug with an older white-haired guy, I thought this will be interesting. The older guy barely broke a sweat to show the ease of the method. Great video. I hope the young guys watching this for that weekend project at home are willing to give this a try as there is not much physical manual labor involved. The hole is completed with next to no clean-up at this hole site. That in itself makes this a very worthwhile method. Again, Great Video!
Thank you. I am the old goat in the video. I am almost 76 and still digging holes. Even with two bulging disks from years of mining and fire fighting ( I got smart and became an engineer) the Holey Moley Digger is easy on the back. Most customers are over 50 years old.
What??!
When I built my fence, I spent all day digging 6 holes, and I ended extremely tired.
Great idea!

How much is that shiny vacuum
after this video, I got a huge shop vac and vacuumed mulch into it and just dragged it to the flower bed and dumped it out . WAY better than shoveling. Also did it with topsoil. Dug a 70 foot drain and used that same shop vac to suck the dirt out. I am getting the holey moley to do fence posts. That earthquake auger was brutal, as far as the effects on your body. All that shaking and vibration erodes your vertebrae and causes nerve damage with prolonged use.
I worked as a Nurse in pain management, we had so many people with back and nerve issues from vibrating machinery. Even if it takes twice as long, your body isn't being damaged.
Thanks for your much appreciated reply.
I started to not like this video but then I can see that that hole was dug up pretty fast and clean. Nice job
Thanks for watching all the way through. Lots of hard work. cat6tools.com/
I wish there was a product like that that would work with many large rocks underground like where I live. Impressive demonstration for the soil where you are.
I hate rocks and I empathize with the difficulty of your location. Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment.
When you hit a rock, remove the digger and use the vacuum hose to suck the dirt from around the rock for easy removal. If you need a bigger hole for a large rock we have reamers up to 12 inches. This allows for keeping the hole uniform with minimum dirt removal and getting those bad rocks out. Use the shop vacuum to your advantage it is a very under utilized tool. See us at cat6tools.com/.

Seems to work well in loose dirt. I live in an area with lots of clay and river rock. Don't think it would work too well in those conditions.
Our core digger works well for clay and at 6 inches, a lot of river rock can then be exposed and lifted out of the hole. We have reamers also will real a 6 inch hole out to 12 inches relatively fast.
Brilliant! Good old fashioned ingenuity at its best. I have 50 yards of post and wire fence to put up in solid clay soil. Last week it took two of us a tractor and a post knocker (£36,000 of equipment) three hours straight to do similar. I so wish you were here in the uk!
we can ship to the UK
Mr. Nelson, That was an outstanding demonstration of a marvelous invention. 😃👍
Thanks for such a nice reply. I appreciate the comment
Where can I get one
I have to comment because I have alot of postholes to dig in spring and I loath listening to a gas auger for hours, you usually need two people to run it AND there's a pile of tailings to shovel up to try and pack down the hole, unless your using concrete to set your posts but either way it's a frickin mess that I hate dealing with, but besides the speed of your device (Outstanding BTW!) the fact that the tailings from the hole are nicely contained in the Shop Vac instead of all around the post hole, Freaking Awesome. Well done Sir and thanks, one of your devices will save me alot of time this spring!
See us at cat6tools.com/. We have lots of cool digging tools.
I could think of another use for this device!
Gold prospecting in dry sandy country like we have here downunder.
Basically all our goldfields are in deserts where sometimes it doesn't rain in a decade.
So we have no water or sluices etc for gold prospecting everything is either a metal detector and or a dry blower.
With this device you could core drill all your sample holes & pan off (or dry blow) each one back at camp if you just put the dust into a sample bag for each hole!.
The traditional way was to dig costeans trenches by hand in the old days or with a backhoe or trencher these days - to try and ascertain what direction the gold is coming from.
A series of holes like this would seem much simpler because it gathers and contains the dust for you at each sample hole.
Once you work out where its coming from - well then you might get a grader or dozer in to strip off the top soil but at least you would know where to spend the diesel stripping ff the non pay dirt from the top to get at the good pay dirt below.
This has me wondering why the mining drillers who do all the ore sampling for big mining operations don't utilize this technique on a bigger industrial scale at least where it collects the samples for them, when they are drilling claims to prove deposits before going to the stock market with a prospectus once they have confirmed likely reserves from their core drill samples.
This method would seem to be a lot faster method & these days time is money as they say.
Maybe they need the traditional drilling methods to penetrate rock maybe?.
Interesting all the same. Enjoyed the video for sure.
I dug a lot of fencepost holes back in my day 4 feet down for a deer fence... many kilometers of it... I wish I woulda had one of these to do it! I used a old long drop post hole digger & a crow bar and sledge hammer - it was hard going all the way.
Wish you every success with it.
We work with Keene Engineering a leader in gold dredging and dry wash systems. We rep their HVS system listed as our Portable Engine Driven Shop Vacuum. holeymoleydigger.com/product/portable-engine-driven-shop-vacuum/ Thanks for the great post. You are so kind. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and to post.
Titus Nelson
yup! would be great for that. take core samples and pass em through the trough.
Ian Moone shhhhh.
Ian Moone this would be LOUSY for core sampling....it gives you a pile that doesn't tell you the stratification of debris or at what depth the gold is at. The depth and amount together tell you if that area is to be checked, that is why they they do "core" sampling instead of just using an earth auger and pulling up soil....
THAT SAID, for small operations that are only going to check down a few feet, could easily fill a niche...
I was removing a rotten fence post and I ended up using a 6ft bar and a shop vac , a week later this video comes up, genius invention
Wow, bloody good idea, well done. Super fast. You sir are a bloody genius and a forward thinker, very impressive.
I like it, my only question would be regarding the motor on the shop-vac, burnout from heating up, but I'm definitely DIGGING the concept....Good stuff sir!!!
A 200 CFM shop vacuum will pull 1 pound of gravel a second. It will not burn up. They are made for picking up all kids of stuff. I have been digging with one shop vacuum for over 20 years and its still running. Have no fear.
The Ridgid Shop vacuum will pull in 1 pound of gravel a second. They are made for this. The shop vacuum is one of the most under utilized tools that many people have. I have used a Dayton vacuum digging holes for over 20 years now. Trying it out.
Everybody loves a nice clean hole.
russandemm hahaha
your truly a turd, im sure you make your family proud, WHATA TURD
Gerard DeFrang it was pretty funny.
& a good suck
Our post holes are now even nicer and cleaner. Get one at cat6tools.com/product/holey-moley-post-hole-digger/
Awesome digger, as long as you don't hit any big rocks, which is what I am up against usually.
I used my little shop vac on a post hole about a year ago. I did it after researching all the youtube videos I could find and then it hit me; the shop vac was just sitting there on my patio. Next time I'll fashion some kind of cutting head instead of the pipe I used.
That is how I got started. Before I knew it I had a product and then people wanted it and there you go.
That worked pretty good! On the farm, I'd have to carry a generator out there to power the vacuum. So, the Post Hole Digger (tractor mounted auger) works better. But in a city or the suburbs? That is the perfect tool for putting up a fence for your property!! I hope you sell a million of them!!!
We now have gasoline powered vacuums - cat6tools.com/product-category/vacuum-systems/
Hey mom can I borrow your vacuum, why, oh no reason 😂
That's what I said to my mom when I was developing this digger. She turned the vac on and stuck the hose on my neck. Got a bad hicky. Dang!
Wish I'd found this years before when I had to go out and rent an auger... what a chore that was.... still better than a post hole digger.
Very creative! Good way to collect soil samples too.
That actually might be the best use of it!! Let's see... how many scientists test soil worldwide? I could see each county in America having one of these. It makes a clean sample and they could dump the vacuum at whatever depth increment they wanted to get an exact sample for every inch.
Here is a video on Cat 6 Tools, home of the Holey-Moley Digger - Made in America. ua-cam.com/video/513PTZMT-DE/v-deo.html
looks like it works just like a hydro vac just with no water. wonder if it would work better if you added a power washer to it
pretty cool. beats using a hand held post digger. much cleaner as well. awesome!!
Thanks. Much Appreciated.
I live and work in the oilfields of the sovereign state of Alberta, this "hole digger" reminds me of a Vac-Truck, small scale, no water/high pressure water injection, smaller diameter.
I really like that you can secure the post (2") in the hole without cement.
I'd put air behind, supplying the cutting head, it would make it a lot more efficient. A double walled cutting pipe design with adjustable supply air opening at/near the top.

That's engineering genius. Thanks so much for posting this.
Thanks for the note. The physics behind it is actually quite impressive. It took me years to figure out why it worked and then I was able to improve it. It goes like gang busters and is fun to use. Check out the video on my core digger. It will work in Wet and well as really hard clay. ua-cam.com/video/ueI-oNNRX2k/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you sir. You are kind. This digger is fun to dig with. If you get one and make a video, make sure you keep it straight (otherwise people will complain (diggers that don't dig straight holes get complaints), and of course make sure you don't have a broken fence in the background (even though thats that reason for digging the post holes) bad fences get complaints too. Love all the comments about the darnest things
Thank you Carl.
Titus Nelson how do i get one of those. i need one to build my fence
holeymoleydigger.com/product/fence-post-hole-digger/
Best way is to order on-line. I get the order direct and take care of it. Or you can call me direct and I will enter the order. 702-533-4363
I was a fence installer for over a decade and have hand dug thousands of holes by hand, this would work great for line post in the right areas where there are no large rocks or tree roots.
A lot of installers use the Holey-Moley Digger to get into those tight spots where larger tools won't work.
holy smoke! not even a drop a sweat. good job sir
bloody terrific, if you are sinking post's for a living this would be the first tool of the truck. In a situation where it was not suitable then, as always ,you find a way to get the job done. Time and effort saved relates to easy money .would be a treat in the tight spots too.
Holy moley that was fast! You sir, are a genius
Not so much genius but quite a few years of "try and fail and try and succeed" effort. It has been many years in the making. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
Patrick Salisbury hes also going to be rich if its his invention and Im sure it is.
Thanks for the note. Yes and more coming. Amazing the comments from people that you would swear have used it a week and think they know exactly how it works. It is so easy to criticize. I enjoy hitting the erase button. Thanks again for watching.
Awesome invention!
TommyMacDaddy1 not invention.
Ninja please
Bring that thing to the land of red clay and chert in Tennessee.
Concentrating on speed seemed to keep your focus off of a straight hole. Great invention.
By the looks of the fince in the background it'll be fine.
Yes focusing on all the video issues, sound, camera, focus, and digging another hole when you muff something up. But sometimes we have to settle for Good Enough. Here is our new web site, Home of the Holey Moley Digger. cat6tools.com/

Oak Island is calling for you. Great job digging that hole.
This is absolutely crazy! Digging a hole simply by vacuuming too long in one spot?!😆wow.
your a good man standing behind your product and idea, half of the people bashing probably wouldnt have the ballz to respond to all the comments but you stand firm , right on man!
Thanks Gary... I get to delete the idiots too. This will make my public sales presentations rock solid. Good marketing info. Thanks for the support. You're a good man sir.
Great solution, great ingenuity! thank you for posting this.
been doing this method of excavation for 20 years on an industrial scale in the construction industry. We called this vacuum pot holing, for locating underground utilities without damaging them. No cutter head involved. Used presurized water and vacuum only. I personally got this method approved by MDOT to install traffic light bases instead of the auger method that was the only approved way at the time. Nice homeowners tool though.
Thanks for the comment. With all the utilities underground your effort has to be appreciated.
try that in some Tennessee red clay! you wont go one inch! nice idea for sandy soil and coastal areas tho.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. Same with the clay in Georgia and Alabama. The clay in my backyard bent the blades of the two-inch arbors I tried. Never got deeper than about four to five inches. Nothing short of heavy duty commercial equipment has any chance of getting through that stuff.
@clandestine2178 .. Nonsense. It's virtually impossible, for either men or boys, to dig a 4 to 6 inch wide hole 3 or 4 feet deep with a pickaxe.
@Danny DNA .. A old fashioned post hole digger would barely make a dent in southern red clay. I've never seen anything like it. I'd rather try digging through rocks. At least rocks will move, while this clay won't.
Same concept but you use a pressure washer to do your cutting
@@robinstewart6510 try West Virginia out, we have a healthy mix of both red clay and sandstone. Makes for an interesting time whenever you've got digging to do.
titus, watched the video. you did a really great job developing this.
I have patented an idea and am now beginning the marketing.
and honestly it's a daunting job, everyone is a critic, and has seen it before, knows it won't work, seen a better one, etc etc.etc.
I have dug hundreds of holes 1 foot in diameter by 4 foot deep in sand, clay, hard pan, river edge gravel, clay and ledge, etc. for deck piers
where I live in western mass rocks are between 6 inches and 24 inches across and can weigh well over 100 pounds.
I can tell. you if I was still digging holes for decks I would buy this just on the off chance it would do even half the holes halfway down.
its a great innovation, looks well made, really a great price for the labor it offsets.
I wish you great luck and hope the money holds until you make it big time. wishing you the very best, Geoff
Geoff: Just for this comment, I am going to put you on the list for the first freebee when I get there. Don't let me forget. I will cherish this comment for the rest of my days. The comment makes this whole road worthwhile. Thank you sir. You are so kind.
Awesome idea! the only thing i would add is a couple levels on either side so you know your going in plumb.
I am looking for a magnetic round centering bubble. Only one needed on the operator side. This would work very well. I have seen them on tripods. I would buy if someone would make. Thanks for the post.
Great, keeps the material around the hole solid and naturally compacted
Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Now, what you could do, is make a manifold that adapts to the vacuum to multiple five gallon buckets for ease of refilling the holes.... might even be able to make something to blow the dirt back in with the vac.
WE listen to customers and video comments. See our cyclonic buckets - cat6tools.com/product-category/wet-dry-vacuum-separators/. We have gas engine vacuums and filter separators to save your shop vacuum. Here is our new web site, Home of the Holey Moley Digger. cat6tools.com/

Wow! Great idea. I wonder if you could dig a well with it? Might need more suction as you get deeper. Would more than pay for its self with one hole. Another great aspect is how clean it leaves the area after you are finished! Congratulations!
Need more airflow. Max with a shop vacuum at 12 amps is about 200 CFM. A shallow well to 20 feet is relatively easy unless you get into soft ground or gravel that keeps flowing in. Then you have a problem. The physics of this device has potential to do 75 to 100 feet depending on the soil. At that depth the weight of the digger becomes an issue for a single user without lifting equipment.
how well does this work on red clay? I like this makes absolutely no mess at all. genius.
It works great in clay as long as there is a little sand or gravel. Pure clay especially if wet is a pain. I am just about ready with a mini-hydro digger that works great in clay. See us at Cat 6 Tools, LLC . cat6tools.com/product/holey-moley-post-hole-digger/
WOW!! sir I am very impressed, as a qualified shovel operator with a natural gas utility company in Texas, but there is nothing better than 100 degree, and a giant pile of spoil to lay on while I take my 4 min break thanks, yet I found this video Google a better way to dig a hole on my lunch
Andres: Thank you so much for the note and taking the time to watch the video. Take a look at the web page at www.holeymoleydigger.com for more info. My video tab has 15 videos to look at. Take a look at The Post Hole From Hell and the Post Hole Core Digger... Regards, Titus

Thanks so much Riyard. I appreciate your comment.
That's really cool! You need to make one for California gold country now. 😀
never thought you would use a vacuum. I thought it was like a giant drill machine. pretty cool.
Thank you. Took a long time to develop this product and to get a patent. Here is a video that is short but interesting. ua-cam.com/video/513PTZMT-DE/v-deo.html\
you should dig post holes for your new fence, the old one sucks
Too busy making videos, but you are right.
pash20 he probably started to dig and two shovels in says "fuck this I'm gonna invent the holeymoley" and then forgot about the fence after realizing he was bound for grestness
Very Cool!
Thats incredible. What a fantastic invention. Congratulations.
Thanks John, I appreciate your comment.
Mother's Day coming. She'll love it
Excellent!
I first tought that was nuts. Genius really. You would think that would have worked but there it is! It would not work around my property because I barely can get a backhoe to dig a hole on my property. Worth a shot!
That tool is totally useless where I live. Maybe on the beach or in the delta , but not in the Ozarks.
or new england, rocks everywhere
Oooh, you can use this digger to kill gators with. Puts a huge hole in their head. You can get rich harvesting gators, forget digging post holes.
Amazing device! Congratulations...I did notice the fence falling down behind you in the video, you might set a few fence posts there too.
Made a video in front of Oroville Dam and now people want it fixed. The owner of this house got rid of the fence and used the digger for posts for the new fence.
Now that was funny!
Very interesting, can 't believe I finish watching the whole video.
American genius again from hands on practical man, like you. Thank you
Thank you!
I found that when I want to put up a fence, the post-holes are already there. You just have to remove the dirt out them.
That reminded me of a show and tell in high school. I liked sculpting out of soap bars so I decided my show and tell was going to be on that. I went up and showed them a hand with the peace sign sculpted from soap. I then showed them a big bar of soap. I told them ,"Now all you have to do is cut off anything that doesn't look like a hand."
Very clever idea. In principle, it's just like the drills that people use for wells, but you're replacing the drilling mud with air flow to remove the tailings. If you add a bit of water to the dirt when you backfill the hole, it should consolidate and hold the post with a rock-solid grip.
Excellent point. People are using foam, and dry cement also. I am continually learning new ways that people come up with. Thanks for watching.
I have a gas powered post hole digger that bores a hole in seconds, am I missing the benefit here? Why not just get a gas auger? I'm not knocking this, it worked very well. Its just that its limited by the shop vac cord and you have to manually cut through the dirt.
I agree ! I see this as worthless !
Many people have shop vac, few have gas augers.
Secondly, an auger would damage any buried utility, a vac would not.
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG with ANY method! Your power company will mark any underground cables they placed.
Notice how he didn't bother to comment here. lol. Just rent and auger drill. Most inventions these days are worthless.
how would you keep it from going diagonally into the ground
Some people need diagonal holes, some need horizontal, some plumb, and some vertical. I just dig holes and fill them back in.
That is damn impressive!
Make one yourself easy to weld that up
I usef a vac long ago to dig post holes but you made the perfect digger. Hope you sell a bunch of them.
We are still in business. Growing each year even in these difficult times. cat6tools.com/
How does it work in clay soil? I live in Oklahoma. Very heavy red clay.
Probably not very well.
Why do you want a post hole in Oklahoma? If you have clay, become a potter. .
That would be a good candidate for a two stage vacuum system with a bucket in-between the shop vac and the tool.
David: excellent idea. I will have a cyclonic separator over a dump bucket soon. Nothing goes down stream to the shop vac. But, costs more $ and as you can see by some comments, too much already.
That's a cool tool for sure!

I would like to see how many holes can be dug before the vac gives out.
I have dug hundreds of vertical feet and many holes with shop vacs that are still running after 30 years. You underestimate the utility of a shop vac and have under utilized any that are sitting in your garage. I have an excellent blog article "Can your little shop-vac suck rocks up" holeymoleydigger.com/suck-rocks/. Don't underutilize a fantastic tool, use it for what it was made to do. They were made to suck dirt.
Showed my son this, this is Awsome!!
Thanks for watching. We are offering post hole digger kits that require some assembly, drilling and riveting, that make nice projects for kids. holeymoleydigger.com/product/posthole-digger/ Let me know if you are interested.
in that soil, with a pair of diggers, id have that hole dug in about 1min and 30 seconds. post set in 30 seconds. i live in new England and its Rocky. glacier deposits and little top soil. maybe for the plains states but certainly wont be a seller in the commercial industry. home owner special. i work for a fence company and unfortunately dig A LOT of holes. love the ingenuity though. nice engineering.
Much appreciated comment. I have a Post Hole Core Digger that is dynamite. It works with Wet Clay and Hard Compact Clay. I will have more videos of it coming. Of course I am spending a lot of time setting up for videos etc. So not the most perfect way to demo a product. I am learning fast. Here is the link to my Core Hole Digger - holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ There is a video at the bottom. I am making this with replaceable hardened teeth. Much more industrial. Keep in touch. Thanks again,
Wow . I have been gathering materials and finishing other home projects . About ready to put in some fence posts when I saw this . I really do not need to be digging down in my solid clay dirt with the shovels in my garage . been there done that .
My question is how did you make that special hole saw fitting , ( it looks perfect for the task . I already have the exact same vacuum from Home Depot . Thank you Titus . This could save my back and take hours of sweat off my day. .Great engineering and completion on your Invention ( Super Fast Holey-Moley Fence Post Hole Digger ) . Fantastic .
The hole saw works extremely well. We laser cut the holes in the top to get the right air flow. We get over 100 mph wind in the digger head all going. toward the center. Quite a tornado. And, keep it quiet please, there is quit a charge on particles that helps break the dirt apart. Like a huge, contained dust storm. The patent is incredible and was issued as written. It is amazing to experience the digger at work. That is why most people, the first word out of their mouth is Holeyl-Moley. Watch this video - ua-cam.com/video/2tRdsYtha_Q/v-deo.html
How well does it work in clay, adobe type soil?
That hole was dug through Hard Adobe Clay in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley. Bad stuff.
I'm crying all over again for the hundreds of blisters acquired digging postholes, sprinkler systems, and footings with shovels, spades, angers, spikes, and any other CURSED torture device you can remember or imagine.
That thing ain't working in Michigan.
Two man power augers bind up in blue clay.
Keith: My Post Hole Core Digger will do very well in Clay (hard or wet). holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/
Let me know if you are interested.
I'm seeing comments about clay. I don't see why this will not work in clay.
Hello from Croatia! I have not seen anything like that, the vacuum cleaner is interesting! Drilling head is amazing!
I just dug a hole with rocks the size of his head and fist. But this video shows good ingenuity
I hate rocks.
Keep on digging, were rebuilding America one hole at a time.
"first six inches are pretty hard, next six inches were a little softer". I found this video by its commentary. I have to say that I was initially disappointed, but it's a great invention all the same !
until you hit big rocks like we have here in Arkansas :)
That's why I like D-11 Cats!
Hope it's patented so you can sell it to the big box stores!! Nice work.
Thanks Kerry. Yup! Patent Pending. Selling direct to consumers is more fun. The rate that big box stores are closing I don't trust them. For awhile, I will sell direct and give good customers service. Nothing like calling up the owner of a business and giving him shit if the product fails or you have a problem and need help.
Never would work in my area , to many rocks
I hate rocks!
Tom Slak i totally agree. it would never work here. too much rock and clay.
mark vylonis i
Or mine. All clay here
Tom: You are right. Too wet with clay and it starts to clog. All hand digging tools do. That is why I developed the Post Hole Core DIgger. It works in extreme hard clay and wet clay to the point of being mushy, and most of the in between. It is easy to change out the digger heads. holeymoleydigger.com/product/post-hole-core-digger/ This is designed for clay soils and it works extremely well. There are huge areas in the country with clay without rocks.
oh great now you make me wanna go dig some holes just to try it, you sir are a genius thanks for a great idea.
Sir. I'd be glad to work with you. These are fun diggers to use. Let me know if you want one.
RIP. This mans ashes were poured down a holey moley hole👀
I think this is great. Since my 6 ft bar is worn down to 3 ft from digging a large hole that is need to put in posts. We use to mix a little Portland cement and water with the fine dirt. Amazing that it has lasted for 25 years.
Try a digger out. It makes digging holes a blast.
Titus Look like it works very well beats the hell out of a post hole digger and it looks like you will have a much better cleaner and stronger hole to back fill.
I do like it. It’s a nice fresh idea and works pretty well.
That was good, except of course for the hole being so damn crooked. When I install a fence post, I really go for level.
I'm laughing. Hard to focus on level when you're making a video, fighting mike cords, low camera batteries, barking dogs, kids yelling in swimming pools, and gardeners with leaf blowers. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you taking time to watch the video and making a comment. Have a good one.
I personally prefer plumb.
I don't know, I have always installed my posts vertically....
@@danschuster3113 We planted a plum tree in the hole. Its doing well now.
@@danschuster3113 We planted a plum tree in the hole!!
2:48 "We just went through another rock." Where I'm from everything that can fit up the tube and into the vacuum are considered "fines." The rocks which we have more than I want to admit to start at 8". Between the fines and the 8" rocks is just gravel. Looks like a cool tool for a sandy piece of property though.
I think most yard sticks are 3 foot, I have never heard of a different length.
They have some rulers that are very long. I would mark feet my conduct 1/2 pipe 10 foot long or whatever I want as a ruler.
Wow that's an interesting way to go about it. Would not have figured a shop vac would have enough power.
