Can anyone recommend a digging tool?

[Ricardo_NY1]

I've been spending anywhere from $3 to $10 on small garden trowels and have so far ran through 5 of them in the past month and a half. They all break too easily. Can anyone recommend something good that I can order online for up to $30? I want something preferably bigger than a small hand trowel but not that big. One of our NYC metal detecting permit rules is that we can only use tools no larger than small garden tools. Thanks.

I use a standard Lesche digging tool, but you might look at this:

I would consider one of the above if the Lesche is too pricey.

Hope this helps,

I just bought a digging tool at Target, 9.99 an its built like a tank,sort of has a lesche tool look to it, nice solf handle, has the saw blade. look in the garden center

Ricardo I agree with oldtymer the Lesche digging tool is great and made from forged steel. You'll spend more but save in the long run.

i hear mighty ap makes a mean digger, but he chooses who he wants to make them for and gives them away as gifts, so if you cant convince him, go for a lesche.

Not sure if it is the right size for you or not, but I am very happy with my Predator tool.

It has yet to show any signs of wear, after several months of exclusive use. It is well balanced and I can hold it and my bullseye pinpointer with my left hand while detecting with my right.

I use the Gator Razor edge that I purchased form Kelly Co. It has worked well for me. I think it is regularly $59.50 but is on sale now for about $39.00
