Nice clean plugs....
No more hands and knees digging....
Good for deep plugs for those deep targets....
Saves me lots of time!

I keep one of these for digging in the plug and places I have to be very careful about covering tracks....

Answer to first question. I ain't going there.

Answer to second question. Shipping is cheap compared to upkeep.

Regarding the predator digging tool, how long is it? It looks to be about 24" in the photo.
I went to www.predator.com website and see Model 322 Mauler. Is this the same as the one you posted? Or is it the Model 58 Little Eagle? Either way I'm getting tired of getting on my knees.

Getting down on your knees and praying that the target is gold or silver doesn't work. You can stop it. ;D

I HAVE to stop getting on my kneews. Im getting arthritis. Getting harder everyday to get up and down. I have a little garden spade Garrett sent it with my ACE 250 as a digging instrument. It's junk. I need something good.

I learned something interesting about knees and knee replacement. You only get one as of now. They don't have the technology to replace a replaced knee - hips yes, knees no. So if you start thinking about it, just remember they give it 10 years and then ask how you would like you knee to be locked into place. Not good.

The difference is the size of the blade, mauler 5 ¾" wide x 11 ¼" long 31"overall. little eagle 4 ½" x 7 7/8" long. 271/2" overall...I have the little eagle fo about 6 years now and its seen some heavy use.. Never done a thing to it and the only thing wrong is the paint is scratched!!

My Favorite Tool has always been an
Approximate 22" WILCOX Trawel,
Especially for Relic Hunting.
because I hate Buggering my Knuckels
in deep holes.

But because of the site I am doing
now is Very dry & Hard as a Rock,
and mainly coins,
I started using this.

13" long 1 1/8 " Wide & goes through hard
ground like a hot Knife through butter
