Excavation disaster!

Hello,

Lately I have be just ruining all my excavations by digging too deep and destroying the artifact.
Some time when using trowel or shovel, I am not sure HOW deep it will go?
I am the highest rank for trowel and shovel

Does one bar for the trowel remove 2 layers of dirt? If I use both bars, is that 3?

For the shovel, same thing is it only 1 layer of 3x3? I believe the 3x3 layer has to be the same type or it just does a single - right?

As well, when I look at the dirt type - I am not sure how deep it is in the the first place. Does this depend Difficulty - ie green-gold (ultimate)
Green is 1 level deep, ultimate is 6?

Advice or thoughts?

Tanks!

    Don't overcomplicate it. When you get to the dark shiny big rocks that look like fresh poo, that is the last time to dig deep. After that, only use single layer.
