folding trowel

[strickman]

I found a decent trowel ,it comes in a pouch-folds and is made of stainless steel.They are at wal-mart in the camping section (sporting goods).They cost $3.88 ,it is the perfect size for prospecting and for your cons.Seem to hold up fairly well ,and fit in your back-pack.They are not to big,and for less than $4 cheap enough to buy several,2 for the back-pack,1 for feeding cons,even bought my wife one for flowers(NOTE---actually -that one is on standby!just in case i lose one-or break it!)

Thanks for the tip. Right now I use one of those black plastic treasure scoops to tote around in my pack because it is handy around the metal detector too.
