We've been on sites before where we mounted the 10 foot fiberglass poles with orange flags on them on our equipment. That way you'd know where to start digging if one sank completely out of sight. I had a old time equipment operator tell me that they lost a ton of equipment when they originally drained the marsh and built Brookley Field down in Mobile. That picture is why you never, ever leave a $175K piece of equipment in a low spot at the end of the day. You always move your equipment to highest ground around at the end of the day, if you're smart.
