Nervously ring model one digs (9)
I believe the answer is:
goldminer
'one digs' is the definition.
'nervously ring model' is the wordplay.
'nervously' is an anagram indicator.
'ring'+'model'='ringmodel'
'ringmodel' is an anagram of 'GOLDMINER'.
(Another definition for goldminer that I've seen is " Prospector".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
