That present was my new digging tool, I believe- heheheheh. Its a nice one! nice and thick, solid steel and with the saw blades on one side to cut through roots.
He goes out with me on occasion, mostly I hunt while he's in school. He's a great helper when he does go out though! keeps my sluice clear while I'm dredging, and loves to ride horses while we're out prospecting. He fell asleep at a full gallop once when he was three! Man that has to be the most relaxed I've ever seen him, lol!
