So for relic hunting I picked up a big Ames 16 inch drain spare on a recommendation from some others. I used it once and while I liked it, I kinda felt like 16 inches was just too long. So I decided to modify it. After looking at the styles of some popular detecting shovels, I landed on the design below. See the before and after pics. I took off about 5 inches which makes it a bit lighter more manageable.
