In the fairly short time that I've been metal detecting, I've basically always used just a Lesche to cut plugs and retrieve targets. I am in a wheelchair and only have use of my left arm. When I locate a target, I just lean over the side of my chair and cut the plug and recover the target. After a long day of detecting, my side gets pretty sore. I've considered some the long-handled shovels, but my legs don't work, so I can't drive it into the ground. That made me wonder if there is a shovel out there that has a slide weight towards the top of the handle that helps drive the blade in. That would save some wear and tear on my ribs, and it would help me start with deeper, neater plugs. Has anyone heard of such a tool? I could probably get my son to help me custom-make one, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel if it already exists. Any advice or info would be appreciated.
