Draughtsmen, surveyors, photographers from ASI have been lined up alongwith the labourers for the digging.
The ASI team itself has no idea from where to begin. The team has planned to dig up three places two metres deep and 10 metres apart for the treasure hunt.
The initial digging will only be a trial, says P K Mishra, Lucknow circle head of ASI.
The three holes two-metre deep will be square shaped, and ASI will be checking the soil with big sieves.
When the digging will reach 20 feet deep, each layer of the soil will be checked. Initially the layer is expected to be dry, and the deeper it digs, the soil may be wet, given the Ganga flowing nearby.
The third layer could be of rocks, followed by water. ASI experts feel, excavation work may hit a roadblock, if water seeps out.
The labourers hired for excavation have been trained for ASI work - not digging indiscriminately but with infinite patience.
