Description: Doodlebugger is the common term for seismic field personnel in the petroleum industry, though their talents are certainly utilized far beyond just the oil fields. Doodlebuggers are the guys who seek out oil, natural gas, and other precious commodities by exciting the ground with everything from explosives and drop weights, to pieces of specialized heavy equipment called *cough* vibrators. They work in the most extreme climates, and in some of the most dangerous and untamed land, long before any extraction operations can be put into place. This design comes to us from Houston's Herb J. Hawthorne Company in promotion of their Blue Demon drill bits from 1951.
