The Rock Hounder's Creed, Edited version for digging of the 'Rifleman's Creed' Options

[NewRockHounder]

This is my pick and shovel. There are many like it, but these are mine.

My pick and shovel are my best friends.They are my life. I must master them as I must master my life.

Without me, my pick and shovel are useless. Without my pick or shovel, I am useless. I must pick and shovel true. I must dig straighter without hitting crystals, who try and get in my way. I must excavate intact. I will...

My pick and shovel and I know what counts in prospecting its not the holes we dig, the roots in our way, nor the relentless weather. We know it is the pick and shovel in the dirt that counts. We will dig...

My pick and shovel are human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its rock crushing ability and its ability of moving dirt. I will keep my pick and shovel clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My pick and shovel and I are the rock hounders of my country. We are the masters of crystal pockets. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until the pocket is empty, I will be, a Prospector.
