Need Help - I need to find a place to buy a Predator Phoenix

[captnkirk]

Anybody have an idea where I could buy a Predator Phoenix Shovel #24? None local and I can't find a online place that has one. HELP!!

Just checked the predator web page and they are showing the phoenix 24 currently out of stock. I use the little eagle and like it. Good luck! HH jim tn

yep and on a lot of different items not just metal detecting but everything

you will love the Predator Phoenix shovel I also have a Lady Bug which I like a lot I use the Lady bug when I go out detecting for gold because it seems to work beter then the phoenix when there are a lot of rocks to deal with the Lady bug is shorter and a bit lighter then the Phoenix and does not have serrated edges which is why I think it is better when you are digging in rocky areas, the Raptor hand digger is pretty good also, I am currently waiting on delivery of the orange handled model 85 hand digger also which should have been delivered friday but of course it is delayed like everything else LOL

the orange handled model 85 hand digger

I use the same hand digger. Really a nice solid digger. Predator tools are as good as it gets. HH jim tn

The Hurricane (model 33) has the same blade shape as the Phoenix. It is a bit longer and has a T handle instead of the D handle, but the blade is the same. If that isn't of interest, you might want to call (or email) Predator Tools and see if they have a timeline on when the Phoenix will be back in stock. To my knowledge, based on a conversation I had with Mrs. Lesche sometime last year, there is only one option (outside of Predator Tools themselves) for buying one of their tools. That is a local metal detecting shop (in Millville, NJ) but I don't believe he normally carries any of the shovels.

I chose the Hurricane (over the Phoenix) and I'm glad I did. It is an exceptionally good shovel.

i have to appolagize to you your statement is correct about the Phoenix shovel I remember now I wanted the D handle and that is why I went with the Phoenix instead of the hurricane

Just be careful of the metal detector dealer you buy from.
There is one out there that royally screwed me

Got a call into Predator Tools and they said they should have the Phoenix back in stock in about a week.
