Mighty Mini Relic Digger?

[Mighty AP]

I cut this blade out of 8 inch sanitary stainless steel pipe over 4 years ago, forgot all about it. It ended up in my buddy's garage somehow, he just found it & gave it to me. I had originally planned on making a small shovel to carry around in my truck for relic hunting, I just finished it today, 4 plus years later. 100% Stainless steel, it'll never rust, overall length 34 inches, blade is 10 inches by 5.5 inches & sharp as all hell. I couldnt resist putting saw teeth in both edges. I took it out & dug a couple deep holes with it.........I think its a keeper!

Neat tool. I use a sharpshooter with about the last five or six inches of blade tip cut off...then I cut the new edge corners off at a 45 degree angle and sharpen new tip of blade and one side of blade so I can use it as a root axe or as a limb or vine cutter. When I stand with my foot resting atop the blade, it's just the right height before I put pressure on top the blade to shove it into ground. I don't have to bend over much while using it and even can scoop a find from the hole in soil or sand without having to hardly bend to do so--SWEET DIGGER! That's what I've come up with.

Thank you gentlemen, I wish I had more of this 8 inch stainless pipe...........Id make a couple of these & have a contest, give a couple away. Ive been using this thing in the field next to the shop I work in & it does a very nice job. Im going to an old foundation out in the hills tomorrow that a friend has told me about, he doesnt detect but I have a machine for him to use & he is very excited about it all........might have another "addict" on our hands soon. Im gonna use the relic digger up there & Im sure it will dig a fine hole!

AP, I use a little shovel I bought that is similar to that, but not quite as sturdy looking. I walk with a cane and use it to prop myself up when I am swinging the coil. And I also can dig a plug with it without having to bend over if necessary. A very useful tool for us old geezers. Monty

[Cynangyl]

Now that is just plain gorgeous!

[BuckleBoy]

Shoot Fire! That is one SWEET tool. The Fiskars edger I use in the fields can't hold a candle to that. It has a lifetime warranty...but AP Tools don't need one!


Nice work, my friend.
