A 'mole catcher's fork' has twice as many prongs, 8 -10. They are all straight and shaped on their cross-section for spearing not really digging. I suppose most have been broken and thrown away. If you have ever 'hunted' moles you will have stood silently amongst mole hills and waited for one to show signs of movement. The mole is underneath pushing another 'slug' of soil out. At that point the fork is plunged straight down into the hill, in alignment with the adjacent hills. It is then slowly removed as if lifting soil and the mole should be pierced and dead on the end of one of the prongs. If you have livestock in the area like sheep you can't use traps. A normal fork has too big a prong spacing and they are not straight so they veer off when plunging and give the mole too much chance of being missed. They are also too big so they don't go in quick enough -if you are going to stand there for 20 minutes or so you need a result. Sorry if this upsets some people. Appreciate if anyone has one or sees one could they let me know, best price paid. Otherwise I will have to make something.
When I am next at the Victorian Town I will PM you MGM.
