Stone never touches dirt

What happens here

Once the bucket is loaded with dirty stone, maneuver the excavator arm to swing the bucket over a suitable water source, such as a natural stream or a trench filled with water. Carefully dip the bucket, partially submerging the crushed stone, and gently agitate the bucket or allow the water flow to rinse away any loose dirt, silt, or fine debris. Repeat this dipping and rinsing process as necessary until the stone appears clean.

Goal: Remove dirt and impurities from the crushed stone.
