Put some clad to good use!

jwp1964 · Dec 1, 2016

My digging buddies finally convinced me to spring for a digging tool that will probably benefit my health.

Cleaned some clad, ran its through the coinstar and turned it into a brand new Sampson 31" serrated digging tool!

Can't wait to put it to use in our freshly moistened soil!

Oh yeah! You're going to love that 31 inch Sampson! :yes:

I love mine. Not only is it a good digger but great for lowering myself to the ground and getting back up. :laughing:

You will not regret it. Got mine from detectingmo here on the forum. Craig is a sponsor.

I love mine. Thinking about getting a ranger from them. :good:

Nun better!

Congrats, I love mine and use it EVERYWHERE! I can dig MUCH cleaner plugs, much faster with my Samspon. And, as mentioned above, they are perfect for helping you get up!

It is a PRICELESS tool as you will learn!

Congrats on your new gear!

I don't kneel anymore due to double knee replacements. I use a 30" Lesche and it gets the job done. You will like it. I'm sure the Sampson is just as good.

Is there any way you could measure the blade and post the dimensions? I'm looking for total length, width at top and where the tip starts. The rest I can wing it. I work in a metal fab shop and want to make one over the winter. Also maybe how much bend in the middle. I have access to a punch, brake, welder,anything else I might need, and materials. It, would give me something to do during the slow season.

Thank you. I couldn't tell if the blade was straight or had a slight taper to it. I have either .09 or .125 stainless I can use.

I may be misunderstanding you, but the blade does have a slight V to the curvature...

Once you get a few hunts in you'll be wondering why you didn't get one of these a long time ago, lol! I love mine, it makes things so much easier for me.

I meant a taper from the top to where the point starts. I have a brake at work to put the bend down the middle and bend over the boot pegs on top. I think I have the info I need to build this. Thank you. I'll keep you posted how this works out.

Can't wait to see it!

been looking at getting one of these myself

Congrats on the new digging tool. It's the same one I have. I love mine and I am sure you will too. I haven't used mine much the last few months because we here in the southeast are in a drought, a bad one. Just started getting some rain last week. Enjoy the Sampson, it will make quick work of plugs. HH
