Default Fixed Me a New Digger

I decided I needed to up grade my digger after lookin at JB's.

I wanted one that is more comfortable than my screw driver and
a little bigger. But small enough ta put in my pocket.

I went from a 10" screw driver to an 11 1/2" modified star drill
with a hickory handle.

The star drill fit so tight, it doesn't need glue, and goes real deep
into tha handle. Tha new shaft is a hair bigger with six sides.







I'll give her a go in tha field and see if she can hold up.

Thanks for tha inspiration JB,

Tabdog

I tried a probe but I scratched all the clad I dug and figured I needed to go back to digging or any old coin I dug would be really messed up. Looks like you have it down pat. Ice
