Default Got myself another digging tool.

So I have the Ames Planter Buddy and the standard Lesche digger. I did some trades over the net and ended up with this.

Product Details


I liked how sharp it is, and narrow blade. When I dig I can not squat down (bad knees), I have to get down on my knees to dig. I am gonna try this along with the Lesche tool to see if I can kneel less?

If nothing else I wanna try some relic hunting and this cost me a total of $5.00, Beale.

At that price it shouldn't take long to pay for itself. Good luck and let us know how it does.

Handle is metal. Total weight of tool is 2lb. I gotta figure a way to carry it with me. I am looking for maybe something on the back. My keepr pouch, Pinpointer, and tool belt are on my waist as it is now, Beale.
