Mining for mule legs?you gotta love google translate,kinda like this one;"When the car was searched goat horns and wives were discovered".

I have never denied being Espanol challenged. Out of curiosity what should have the translation been?

Neil,the translation was pretty much literally correct,I might have changed mining to harvesting and mule legs to mule feet or whatever they're called in English,I just found it funny.

Also called mangrove cockles, conchas negras, black clams or patas de mula (mule's foot), blood clams are shellfish in the genus Anadara; the species A. grandis, A. granosa, and A tuberculosa. Their ribbed shells are called "ark shells" by collectors. Because the mollusks inside the shells have a high level of hemoglobin in their bodies, blood clams ooze with a dark, maroon juice - hence the gruesome name.

Probably not a great surprise to some but they have been locating and confiscating illegal product:
