Please describe your suggested enhancement:
Please add "delf/delves" as charge

Can you provide an example blazon?
Argent, a chevron between three delves gules
Or, a fesse wavy between three delves (elsewhere billets) sable

Can you provide a link to a picture of a shield showing your enhancement
Attached

Please provide any other information that you can
Delf, or Delph, (plural delves). This ward (derived from the verb delve, to 
dig) is the name of a charge representing a shovelful of earth: the sides are 
sometimes drawn straight, sometimes curved inwards. When tenne, it is said to 
be one of the abatements, and it is then over the fesse point. The 
representations of this charge are sometimes very doubtful, and they have been 
blazoned cubes, gads, blocks, &c.

Had a simple square called a "delf", didn't realise the plural was "delves"! 
Will add this, and other synonyms and maybe add some nice shading as shown. 
Expect in 2.3i
