They would have been taking samples from ant hills.  It is a trick of 
geologists, mining engineers and prospectors to examine the contents of the 
local soil without having to dig a lot of holes.  Comparing the results from 
multiple ant hills allows one to plot a probability map of locations for 
further study/core samples, etc.
