Lil' Digger 29" Heavy Duty Small Double Serrated Shovel

Perfect size. Light weight but strong. Excellent for cutting roots.

A very sturdy and well balanced digging tool

I like the size, it’s perfect for metal detecting. Lite weight and very durable.

Very sturdy. Definitely what I expected

This is a great shovel for the money. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the area where you're supposed to put your foot to dig this sucker into the ground. In short, that area is too small and from time to time my foot slips off when digging. This isn't a deal breaker, but it's worth knowing about if you are considering this shovel. Primarily used for metal detecting.

This is great for metal detecting. The serrated sides make quick work for roots in the woods and you can even use it in a hacking motion to chop the odd root. The fact that only the head is metal is great. You can carry it with the spade side up and keep metal away from your detector's coil. I'm not sure how people do that with a full metal shovel? It is lightweight and you won't notice carrying it. It's strong too. I torqued quite a few times on it with no problem.

This was purchased for a friend in another state who is new to metal detecting. He told me it works great, likes the size, and it's lightweight and easy to carry. The takeaway: He likes it.

I bought this to use for digging while metal detecting. What a nice perfect shovel. It will fit in my backpack just right and hang out the top which makes for easy carrying. Although I was on a big hunt so I carried it most of the time. Sharp and easy to cut a plug to to mention sturdy. Im very happy
