I like fact that the majority of these are made and designed by people who are actual metal detecting enthusiast.. just wondering if anyone kno

All I know is I have two and never use them as a beach hunter. Good luck!

Tried several different shovels including some of those fancy expensive ones and found my best one on eBay for only 20$. It's a military style that can be used for digging or switched for chopping roots in a second.
It's small, about two feet long, light only a couple pounds and pretty much indestructible .

any shovel is better then using a trowel when relic hunting. I liked the look of the raptor hand digger so made one out of a forged "pony" made in Ireland shovel. put a D handle on it and works well, my pinpointing needs work though.

I have been custom building my own for several years. Don't really care for the war clubs others build. I will post some pics tomorrow.
Also building my own SS sand scoops.

I use a Lesche but I wear them out mines about a year old and all the serrations are about wore down! that's a lot of digging!
