New Shovel for my fiancee

[Showtime2385]

Hey guys, so my fiancee has been hunting a lot more often with me in the woods with one of my other detectors but I only had one larger Lesche shovel. I use the T handle ground shark. Now we know these shovels don't grow on trees so I decided to replicate mine with things I had around my shop. (Also more satisfying than just purchasing another) I used conduit for the handle, cut a 3" exhaust pipe in half for the blade, used a motorcycle foot peg pad for the step and a piece of a sway bar to attach the blade and handle. We have gone on about ten hunts so far and its holding up amazing against the roots and rocks. Thanks for checking it out and happy hunting!

That looks better than the original. I have a 28" Ground Shark that I use very little. I almost always use the Sampson.

I have a Sampson Relic digger that I am thinking about cutting down the blade on and making a wider Sampson out of because the blade is a little too long.

Thanks Pointman. I use the 40" do to being 6'3'' it seams to work with me best. The ground shark was actually the only one I saw in that length at the time I purchased as well but Ive grown to like it very much for its tall narrow blade with the roots and rocks. Good luck modifying your sampson!
