Hi 92GW,
I bought a transplant trowel in the gardening dept. at a Menards $3.95
it even has an inch marker on it and is quite sturdy.
My son uses an Ace 150 and is having the same pp problems, I told him it will come with practice (hasd only been out 3 times) and am waiting for a pinpointer that was defective to be replaced from where I bought it.
Good luck with the hunt.

Marv
