Little bugs in soil??

[NathanM]

Hey guys,
I picked up a couple of nice trees from the club Christmas break up on the weekend in the auction =)
One of them, a ncie chinese elm, appears to have some buggs crawling around. As a result, I have moved it away from everything else until I can be sure on what they are.
I saw two different bugs. A silvery looking oblong shaped one or two. and there seemed to be a lot of TINY (ie well and truly under 1mm in length, only JUST visible) white things crawling around.
I know it can be diffiicult without pics, but the white ones were literally too small for me to photgraph.
Any ideas? Any advice is greatly appreciated ^_^
Thanks guys
Nathan
