Finally ordered a Lesche Digging tool!

It's worth it. Used mine in the partially frozen ground today, no problems at all.

HH,

Will be here in 3-5 business days can't wait to get it so I can actually have a digging tool with a holster!!!
 

Using a Lesche tool is some parks can get you a stiff fine. For instance the county parks around here after one guy dug holes but left the clod on top of the grass wrong side up. After he was approached and told the correct way by a park worker, the Th'er blew him the bird and that got a call to the deputy which wrote the ticket. Now no digging tools are allowed. At least I was able to keep the parks open.:coffee2:
 

Very strong tool and sharp so keep you pinky's out of the way, should last you for a very long time!

As Sandman has indicated the importance of filling holes and making everything look like it did before we dug is Soooooo important. I do not know what I would do if MDing was outlawed as it is supposed to be on the top of my list of things to do when I retire, whenever that might be.............63bkpkr
 

I rarely use my lesch unless I am in a maybe a gravel parking lot. For the most part the plug you cut is raggy and more often than not you need to dig a hole much larger than you need. They may work well in the desert where the soil is rock and sand but the holes they leave in a park make it very hard to cover up and look like you never been there. I like to cut nice neat 3 sided rectangular pieces of sod and lay it back then dig nice rectangular hole to find my coin or whatever then fill the hole and flip the sod back stomp it down with my foot and you can't tell I been there.
 

Waiting on a lesche here too.
Detectorist leaving holes unfilled,glad i missed it. I let others hunt how they will but have told one to fill his holes and then i insisted he do so when his excuse was we were in the woods.

There they go blaming the tool again instead of blaming the "Tool" using it. I'm glad they cited the knucklehead, hope it was a BIG fine and 6 months of community service policing the park. Why do they insist on punishing those of us who use the tool correctly? I guess I just don't understand that rationale.
 

Congrats on the new equipment, I need to order an actual digger as well.
 

cudamark,
It is the classic situation of what is the simplest, read that as least expensive and least time consuming, thing for "THEM" to do in order to controll "US" and the answer is take it away from everybody. No extra hours for an officer to patrol the parks looking for people NOT filling holes, if they see anyone detecting they just ticket them or arrest them, impound equipment/tools and let the judge sort it out. All of us loose with this kind of thinking BUT IF some detectorists just filled their holes none of us would have a problem. So why do people not fill holes? Why do people throw trash around? Why do people wreck things? It is a shame that the ones doing this do not care about life enough to treat it with care and honor it. IMHO.

It just seems to me that a $5000 fine for vandalism would be a better option. The city would make more money, the idiot digger would not do it again, the metal detector shops could still sell detectors, and the hobbyist is happy. Everyone except the vandal wins. The way they did it, nobody wins.
