Can anyone recommend a solution? Or a good long handled shovel with a wooden handle?

I have run into a bit of a problem with my favorite detector (My E-trac) and my favorite shovel (The Raptor from Predator tools). They're both outstanding units on their own and together, but apparently 3's a crowd! When I use the 12X15 SEF coil the detector picks up the shovel at the end of nearly every other swing. :cry: (Even when dragging the shovel behind me with my left hand).

Has anyone else had this problem? If so was there a reasonable solution other than longer arms? :lol: I also tried keeping the shovel over my shoulder, but that's even more uncomfortable that dragging it behind me. I am considering cutting the metal handle off the Raptor and adding one made of Oak or fiberglass. Any better solutions other than cutting apart my poor shovel?
 
I use the Predator Dixie (field hunts) and have not had that problem, you could make a strap sling for it and carry it on your shoulder with the shovel behind you.
 
I have a wooden handle on my sand shovel for the beach and there is no problem when I drag it. If I carry it I get the "false", so maybe changing the handle will work? I would explore every other option first as cutting the handle off sounds too drastic to me.
