I believe I it hit about 95 and sounded really good. Sounded like a quarter, but a really bright full high tone.
That's the one I'm looking at, but I read so many threads last night between the 18in and 31in. I really like the idea of not being noticed with a shovel.I highly recommend the lesche sampson 31-t handle serrated shovel. I know what you mean with the trowel.
Thanks. It's a little league ball field next to a middle school, but the area I was paralleled the road in an area that was on the map in around 1880. So I wasn't in a clad infested area like other ball fields I've gone to.
The people who would raise a stink about you detecting are going to do so regardless of shovel length.
I think that it's a very fair assessment. Maybe I get it ordered in a week or so.Just my opinion but I don't think the 18" is going to be much better than the trowel. A little bit more leverage using your upper body but that's about it. I can't imagine bending over something that small and trying to use my foot to drive the blade into hard ground.
I also really think most of the apprehension about carrying a larger shovel is more to do with being self conscious than other people actually caring. I mean you have a full sized detector in one hand with your other gear (pin pointer, trowel, finds pouch, etc). There's no mistaking what your doing
Just my opinion.
