And the police would laugh behind your back, blow it off and think you had WAY too much time on your hands. My advice to you is to MYOB.
Nobody has a 31” Sampson in stock???

Serrated?.... 1 side, both sides, no sides?? That is the question...

I bought the one that's serrated on the right side, since I'm left-handed. Definitely helps to cut through roots. I use it like a saw to cut stubborn roots in the hole.Serrated?.... 1 side, both sides, no sides?? That is the question...

I have a lot of relatives who are cops, so trust me on this one. They HATE to deal with frivolous calls like that. Nothing worse than some whiny troublemaker trying to stir the pot over nothing. Let it go and mind your own business.
yeah sure! more "!!!!" you must have kissed that stone over in ireland.they are "public servants"..they get "paid" to investigate complaints! where the hell do you live?..must be on the "dark" side of the moon!..whiney troublemaker!..must be you you spewin' about...let me tell you what to do!..keep your shovels out of parks,so you don't mess up the hobby for the rest of us,if you don't then you can take up "knitting" because you won't be able to hunt in ANY public place.

Dig clean plugs and there isn't a problem. Plus it saves my knees and back big time.

Kinda sad and a waste of time when a thread lasts this long for all the wrong reasons...people are going to do what they’re going to do on both sides of the fence and because of their own view and experience with it. No inside joke guys...not yet!

I think that's where hand diggers really shine.

When things are unfamiliar to you, they can sort of all look the same..
Had you actually had experience with and actual real shovel, the Sampson would look like a small precision digging tool made for metal detecting, instead of an intimidating scary shovel..
At the very least, I'd rather carry a tiny "shovel" on a school property, than a lesche which can look like a big Bowie knife..
Word up yo..
<°)))>{
you guys have convinced me! i figure if all you guys are so passionate about usin' the "sampson"and NOT experiencing any interference,then i' m buyin' one!
ehe! he! he! he!

I usually use my Lesche hand digger at ballfields, but not because I worry about walking around with a shovel. I like to carry my digger and a small plastic container in my hand the whole time I'm detecting ballfields. If it's a deep target, I place the dirt I scoop out into the container to keep the surrounding grass clean. It's a lot neater than using a towel, in my opinion.
