Digging tools

[ricstone]

What kind of digging tools do you all use? I'm using a 12in trowel it works OK but hard to use in hard pack dirt or gravel. any suggestions? thanks

I mainly use a Lesche. Anything more than that - I have the full line of Wilcox which some have longer handles for a little deeper leverage. Then if that don't cut it, I have several Predator shovels. But the shovels are mainly used for out in the woods - like relic.
Shallower targets in nicer grass areas can be done with a screwdriver.

Can anybody recommend an online source for a good, but light weight pick and a of rare earth magnets. The meteorite men use these and it seems to help them a lot.

The Lesch is a bit pricey but you wont ever have to buy another digger...ever!

The Hori-Hori knife is a good tool to use!

Hori Hori knife. Cheap to buy, built like a tank, sharpened and serated edges. When the park drunks stumble over to harrass you and see the Hori Hori, they change direction. The sheath is pure junk and I tossed it on day one. The stainless model is slightly longer and thinner than the plain steel version. And conversely, the plain steel, black coated blade, is thicker. I went with that one. It's a tough tool.
