What do the similar idioms eat humble pie or eat crow or eat dirt mean?

To eat humble pie means that you are humbled, or brought down from your snobbish position; you are forced to admit that you were wrong about something. To eat crow is the same meaning; crows are considered "dirty" birds and unfit to eat in most cultures, so you'd be very humble indeed before you'd eat one. To eat dirt can mean the same, but it can also mean that you fell or were shoved to the ground and your face was in the dirt, as in you lost a fight.

How was the shovel used in the gold rush?
One of the main methods to look for gold was in the rivers for gold nuggets. The miners had a sluce box and rocker to find the gold. The sluce box was a wooden box with an box on top to shovel in dirt and to poor water over the dirt. The dirt/water would run down a tracer that emptied into the river. In the tracer the gold nuggets would fall to the bottom instead of washing out. The rocker had a similar idea but it rocked back and forth to separate the dirt with water. Again shovel fulls of dirt were put into the rocker to separate dirt from gold. The miners doing this would stand in dirt and water all day long with shovels of dirt and water for the few nuggets they could get.
