Help with a new digging tool

[jspeedy]

My trowel is worn to the handle and I'm going on a big hunt. Any suggestions?

I think you should just get a new digger. What kind depends on what you are digging, and where. Screwdrivers are still good for coins in the sod.

Check out Predator Tools. They have a great line up of high quality digging tools, Beale.

Predator tools are the only way to go. I am digging in half frozen ground with no trouble at all. By far the best tool built!

Check out the Nebraska sodbuster made by Dalyn Ent. It's the only digger I've never bent or broke. They sell for arount $24.00.

well, if its short notice & you cant get to a local metal detector dealer to pick up a lesche.... you may just have to settle for the heftiest garden trowel you can find at a local hardware/garden store.

BUT, if you have the time to wait.... I suggest either a traditional red-handled lesche digger.... or an orange-handled predator tools digger http:www.predatortools.com .... they seem bigger & stronger than the traditional lesche.

Its good policy to have a good backup digger available in case your regular one breaks (yes... you CAN break a lesche... I've broken 3).

Run to Home Depot and get yourself an all purpose garden knife. I was digging in frozen ground with it and it didn't break. Of course I didn't force it either but it is a great little digger!.
