Watched some of those videos - and had to show my boy. We don't have the right kind of steel bar (was gonna try a metal-wood file), so improvised with a piece of oak trim hammered into the ground, and rubbing a length of weathered 2x4 across the top.
It actually worked. First one up was a fatty! (hope he'll help us FIND a fatty!). But I think it's like all those fishing shows I watch. Then go out and do it for a bunch of hours, then showed an editted 10 minutes, and buckets of worms.
For as much work as it took rubbing and trying to get a good "grunting" frequency (faster, slower) I could have dug a hole and come up with more worms by picking through.
But it was fun to try, and see - IT'S WORKING! We'll probably keep practicing. Maybe early morning or late at night!
I wonder what running my air compressor against the ground would do. Or maybe rig some air hammer tools to pound the ground.
