Description

A clammer uses a unique 7-tined hoe that has outer tines that are curved inward. The flat is very damp, and it appears to be raining. The clammer is wearing green boots, a waterproof jacket and blue gloves. The mud is soft and covered in small rocks and shells, and seaweed and larger rocks dot the surface. The clammer’s pace is slow and methodical. First, they grasp the top of the hoe’s tines with both hands and press the hoe into the mud while they wiggle it back and forth. They then pull it backward and pick through the turned mud for clams before taking another turn. They carry two hoes later and move to a new location. The horizon is foggy, with a grey-green shore on the other side of the bay peeking through. Sometimes, they poke at the mud before turning it over. Flipped holes fill with water quickly. They have a measuring ring welded onto their hoe that they sometimes measure clams with. They later approach an area with some boulders, where the mud is light brown on the surface, darker underneath and a bit thicker and stiffer. The lens is either covered in a layer of rainwater or fog as it turns quite blurry.
