Root Slayer Nomad Shovel

[G.A.P.metal]

The ground shark with the rubber step is the digger I'm searching for..

Made by "Lesche" most of our vendors carry it in different lengths .
This one is 32 ".

My son just bought me one of these Predator Tools Ranger shovels with the D handle and let me tell you it is awesome! I was that old fart with the small garden shovel that would bend and crack and basically drive you crazy but I am too cheap! My grown son recently got back into detecting and got us each one of these babies! Worth the money for sure, immediatly threw the old one away! Thanks son. This is the one the Hoover Boys on youtube use.View attachment 1550866

Awesome tool that cuts well. Make sure you master pinpointing or dig a wider plug or those teeth on that tool will shred your target. It would suck if it gets any coin on the way down...

I don't think I'm allowed to type in the actual link, but if you go to Amazon type in "Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel", and lots will populate.

I'm really surprised to see how many people actually use a shovel in a public space.

North of the 49th if you were to get caught using a shovel in a park, you'd get shot.........okay since we are Canadians you'd likely only be shot with a water gun, but still the intent was there!

We strongly encourage people to save their shovels (long handle diggers) for farmers fields, forests, or permission sites. Anything like a school, soccer field or other public space is a no no, and are encouraged (strongly) to use a hand digger like a hori hori knife, or Raptor 31C, or a Lesche digger.

I don't know why you would want to draw undo attention to yourself by bringing a shovel to a public space, but your parks your rules.

Pinpointing is a breeze with my DFX with the standard 950 Eclipse coil. I can usually find the coin with my probe on the first or second poke. Whites VCO is a wonderful pinpointing aid. You Whites guys know what I am talking about. The rest of you dont know what you are missing!

I know that this is a little late for the original poster but I want to put this out there. I bought a Nomad Root Slayer, same as the one above and it is actually an amazing tool! It is way more heavy duty than it looks in the picture and the upside down "V" tip of the shovel cuts through just about any root you may encounter! I have used it to hack through roots that are at least 3 inches in diameter. The only complaint that I have about it is that it is actually quite a bit heavier than I anticipated it being. The entire handle is made out of steel and it becomes a little cumbersome and carrying it around for a few hours, but I would recommend this as an excellent metal detecting shovel!

Just getting into metal detecting and have been using a small version of a regular garden shovel. I'm looking around and wondering if anyone else has purchased this shovel and what your thoughts are on it. There are quite a few reviews on Amazon, particularly geared to metal detecting, despite the shovel being designed for gardening. I like the fact that it has a rounded end instead of the pointed end. I've found that on my pointed hand trowel, it's difficult to get dirt out of the hole and figure the rounded tip would make that easier to accomplish.
I don't want to spend $65-$150 for a shovel if I don't have too, especially if i can find something very close to or even better than the shovels on the market specifically designed for metal detecting. This one is $39.99 on Amazon. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any other cheaper alternatives that you like.
