So, my detector should be here Friday. Waiting for more eBay sales to help out with a quality pinpointer. The other tools needed, can you skimp on price and get at least close to the same results? I would like a longer handle digging tool, but have to wait.
Would this work for digging? https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Serrated...ae9e%7Ciid%3A1 Any particular material for gloves work the best? Thansm Thanks |

Yes that will work great. Bought this one at Walmart for around 10 bucks. Works great. One side is sharp as a knife, the other side sharp serrated saw and bottom has a v that will twist and pop roots. Love this tool in parks where you don't want to tear up the grass. Other spots I use a mini shovel. I personally can't justify spending 60+ bucks on a shovel that digs no faster. I did buy one though and still prefer the basic.

Looks like it would work. If you were going to scrimp I might go this direction
https://www.google.com/search?q=full...obile&ie=UTF-8 These are close to unbreakable and a straight flat blade may stink for scooping, it cuts a nice plug and inserts into the ground easier that a curved or angled blade. __________________ |

That looks like the Gator digger that I have from Kellyco. I got it in a trade and it is brand new and the dullest digger that I have ever seen. If I ever decide to use it I will have to spend a lot of time sharpening it. Myself I do not care for the stepped design of them and the Lesche. Like the other poster, I have been using Hori-Hori type diggers for about forty years and have never once felt like they might break. And I have really abused them. You can find them on Amazon starting around $14.00 and I doubt if you will ever need another.

I was happy with mine.....It works great on good topsoil and turf, not so much with Missouri rock. I'm using the Whites Digmaster and a treasurewise knife now.

I have abused mine that would break most other diggers. I don't worry about rust. I just wipe the dirt off before I put it back in the sheath. Any rust would come off in the next dig. I haven't seen any rust anyway. Normally you can find them on Amazon starting around $14.00 anyway. __________________ |
