Here in Texas the Ground is hard. For all yall up north that means it is hard to dig. Those of you using these Lestch tools amuse us. Here is a picture of my Custom made Digger. This is the best Digger I have used. Although I can not disclose all the things I used to make this I can let you know the Blade was made from a Hardened Tractor Disc. This allows me to dig anywhere. It is especially good for driveways.

Nice idea, great welds! There are some days where a 100 lb. jackhammer might be my best choice.

Thanks for posting

I am an old timer and I've been at this game a long time, so please understand sometimes new ideas and way get past me.

As a fur trapper I could see using your tool to chop out a trap bed or begin a dirt hole but I'm having a problem as a metal detector. Aren't you afraid your modified tool there is going to cut into your find? Please enlighten me if you would.

Yes I frequently damage finds. Thing is that in this dirt nothing else will dig it. It is so hard right now, I can not even dig with this tool. I have one of those common trawls with teeth in the side but unless I go somewhere else, it is useless here. Find a good dry, hard packed gravel driveway and try to dig in the tire track. That is what I am dealing with right now.

Looks like a good tool .
We have the same problem in Missouri , the hard pan can be almost at the surface and it is like digging in concrete . You have to use a pick or matex , to dig with as a shovel is useless as it will not even make a dent in the soil.

Looks like a good tool for some of the gravel spots that I go to as I have broke some of my other diggers there. Thanks for the Idea. Bob
