I just had a small one built. The builders used a clever trick - used a water hose with a pvc fitting to blast the sand out of the way. Not sure if it would work on a muddy bottom but maybe. It works great for sand, zero digging or driving.

That is how we set pilings in South Louisiana too. (Outside of using a crane on a barge when building camps) Use a small pump and we use about 20 feet of wash pipe, bent slightly at the end. Tape the pipe to the piling and turn the pump on. Pop your wash pipe off when you're at the depth you want and everything fills back in around your piling.
