I made this recording by using a metal shovel and ramming it into the icy snow. The snow has been around for a couple months now and has been rained on and turned to tiny ice crystals. It sounds like it could be sand, grainy dirt or rock dust.
Digging up some grass and dirt with a small shovel. Thudding and tearing grass roots sounds. Recorded with a zoom h1, no editing applied. Created specifically for https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?v=gfkq9u3ncse 1:50, but cc0 for you all :).
