Default got to try my shovel

Finally the weekend is here and I got to try my small shovel.............
The All-Purpose Shovel is made of aircraft-quality steel and is very strong and rust resistant and light weight. Will stay sharp simply by digging. Size: (25.75" long)
Blade: (5.25 x 7.75")
5 year warranty

Made by: w.w manufacturing.co.inc



I love it because I can create a plug very easily and it makes my area look very good because you can not hardly tell where I have dug in the school property. Very neat when done
I was out for about a hour and a half and came home with $1.77 in coins and a few pieces of junk. Nothing major but I love to just go out and hunt and play in the dirt and grass. it is even more fun when my daughter is there to keep me company too. Had my coffee there with me to keep me warm ..it is only 53 deg and cool breeze blowing too ........ Had to come home it started to sprinkle and my low battery symbol was flashing when I was finding a coin. Rain rain go away come again during the week when I cant go metal detecting !!!!!!

I like your shovel....I bought one for when I hunt in ag areas...my blade is about the size of yours but it has a long handle like a regular shovel...sure saves a lot of getting up and down, thats important for for old bad knees like mine....I hope you enjoy it!!
