Any items will raise up with the ground.

A friend tried this, and the tar blobules you can typically pick did not raise with the bit, only items previously stuck in the tar. Do this and you're missing out on a ton of tar.

Yeah just tried that and its a hit an miss, some stuck blobs did raise... but sometimes not enough to be clickable from under ground. Seemed like leveling tool was better than raising it with stone for this too. There could be technique involved so i'd not count the method out yet but yeah, im gonna keep to digging.
