This is a smaller shovel .Closed it's 18'' and open it's 32'' just right for coin hunting. I got a deal on some of these and beffed them up with a 1/2'' steel rod welded to back of shovel and pressed in a small supper magnet in shovel end also will clip on to you pant's so you don't have to carry it. These are not for digging ditches ; it is light and strong and save's your back, for me any way.Work's good for the beach to .I got 3 at $26 shipped....Thank's Hobby
