Just getting into metal detecting and have been using a small version of a regular garden shovel. I'm looking around and wondering if anyone else has purchased this shovel and what your thoughts are on it. There are quite a few reviews on Amazon, particularly geared to metal detecting, despite the shovel being designed for gardening. I like the fact that it has a rounded end instead of the pointed end. I've found that on my pointed hand trowel, it's difficult to get dirt out of the hole and figure the rounded tip would make that easier to accomplish.
I don't want to spend $65-$150 for a shovel if I don't have too, especially if i can find something very close to or even better than the shovels on the market specifically designed for metal detecting. This one is $39.99 on Amazon. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any other cheaper alternatives that you like.
Thanks!
