This old cane was my mother's; after knee replacement surgery 15 years ago.
When my knees and hips went baad, I inherited it :(
Been wanting a scoop all damn summer. Brought my old metal 'sketti strainer and the old cane down to the shop and asked the old man to hitch 'em together for me. Well, he rolled his eyes :o :o :o and looked doubtful.
That was 3 days ago. Look what he handed me this morning :o
He chucked the sketti strainer, and cut an old spade, attached metal, drilled holes,
and attached it to the old cane.
I'm happy :D works great ;)

WOW!! that goes to show you American Ingenuity isn't dead. Way to go and we will all probably be needing one of those sooner or later. I think he stumbled onto the newest detecting scoop on the market.

You might even add a little fold down seat on the side.
