Garrett Retreiver Digging Tool - What do you think?

[old_goldchaser]

Well, I do live in gold country..well, near it anyway...and I have looked at it and I like it. I do digging for relics and coins both, and alot of my detecting is around old homesteads where there is many times a thick buildup of prairie grass and weeds.. Trying to dig through that is harder than the dickens..and I end up hacking my way through it almost. So I think I am going to either get the garrett one, or go to Harbour Frieght and get theirs and add the magnet. Will make it easier to get through that thatch of grass and weeds. Most of my finds are going to be under that and likely deeper than I would be digging with that so would revert to my shovel or other digging tool.

So I am sold on it...

Decisions, decisions, decisions..........what to get?

Actually, both of your alternatives look pretty good even over the Garrett pick. Thanks for the links.
