looking to get a better digging tools / shovelfor metal detecting. I am 5'6" and have a bad back and knees so I don't want to dig on the ground or be all hunched over. What length tool would you all suggest? Thanks!
I would go to a hardware store and try different sizes and see what you like for sizes. In the end of it all, you're going to be bending over to pick things up, do keep that in mind. I personally prefer a short shovel, I hike to my digs so it's easier to carry, but also I just dig from ground level. Gives the legs a break, saves the back.
