Default my own little finger digger

I was fooling around in my shop ware I have a mill and lathe so I decided to make my own little finger digger,I know these aren't nothing new but thought one might be good to carry for them one to two inch deep targets.
It's made from stainless steel,the digger part is 1-1/12 "long with a total length
of around 3-3/16. not nearly as bulky as the pics make it look.
All is left is the field test,seems to work good in the yard.
HH.

Looks like something Gene Simmons needs for a KISS show.
Nice job on it.

Other than wearing it incorrectly, that's some finger-pick! Make that banjo sing!

That would make a great digging tool you would probaly have to get a concealed weapon permit for it add some bionics to it and you could rip a car apart with it.
