Hmmm. I like the pond, but it doesn't look recently constructed to me.
Vegetation around the perimeter is not flattened or disturbed. No chunks of mud / rocks , uneven areas from overspill when filling trucks with backhoe. Back hoes make a mess, no tracks in surrounding vegetation, no road packed into the vegetation from trucks hauling dirt.
While it might be true, and if so I wish you luck on an awesome project, people will be skeptical when this, and your statement that it was dug by hand, then used a crane, now a backhoe, don't add up.
If this is indeed your property and project, I'm looking forward to watching this move forward.
Good luck.
