GPS the spot, go home and get a big magnet and go auger fishing.
After watching this guy hunched over his 3' tall auger, holding onto his drill with all he's got, and riding it down all the way until his bit drops off down the hole I'm not entirely convinced this isn't viral marketing for the clamp plate. Did we just get punked?
Same thing happened to me first day out this year. Thought I had it on tight. Nope.

there is no way that he should have to apply that much pressure to drill a hole. My guess is that his drill does not have enough tourque. Gonna burn out that drill in no time. Get an extension!
The thing I don't get just from a physics point is how there is enough friction in the chuck to cut a hole, but not enough to hold in a 5lb bit. Did you put the drill in reverse to get it unstuck or did it just plop off as soon as you broke through?
One possibility is some drills have a brake that has the nasty habit of loosening the chuck. I have a Ridgid that comes exactly that. Very annoying
There were a few key words and actions in there that screamed he is pretty new to this whole thing. I guess a little bit more research would have lead him to several adapter options that have a safety strap/bar. They need more knowledge at whatever store he was bragging up so they can sell some quality adapters to guys... or maybe this is part of their marketing strategy, new $42 auger and adapter each weekend until they learn.
