Got-good-tones invented this UNBREAKABLE tool. I detect in a lot of iron patches (rusty square nails, iron bits) and rough ground. I dig my plug used both of my hands to scrap out the side wall of the whole plug which makes the soil nice and loose take my big magnet and every bit of iron pops up through the dirt. Then my pin pointer can do what it supposed to do find my intended target not chasing iron pieces. So less stressful and quicker. Work smarter not harder.

So is it just like a big kind of sharp scraper?

Yeah it’s also helpful in prying apart roots. I break predator shovels pretty regularly so much they sent me Big Red and told me don’t come back. I’ve broken 3 piranhas already and I got to the point I tried breaking this plastic tool and it wouldn’t. No idea what the stuff is made of.

I like the fact I can scape away soil quickly with both hands where my leasche hand tool I have to use my wrist. They’re for two different things for me. My hand leasche is for when I miss a pinpoint and dig out a side wall or go a little deeper in the hole. This tool is for the harder terrain that has a lot of iron bit and I scrap away the whole to loosen up the mixed nails for the intended target after my magnet cleans my dirt. I hate chasing iron bits with my pinpointer.

As my old man used to say, "Hells bells!" I never thought of bring a magnet with me. Super idea! I HATE those little hunks of iron, nails, staples, washers, rusted cans. Thanks Truth!

Undecided on that other tool. I do carry a small fiskars hand pruner for cutting through the roots when digging a hole.
