The Lesche T-Handle Shovel is constructed from aircraft-quality steel that resists rust and corrosion under normal field conditions. The blade is heat-treated for durability, and the material's inherent rust resistance means you don't need to oil or coat the shovel after every use. However, we recommend rinsing the blade after digging in saltwater environments or highly acidic soil to prevent surface oxidation over time. Storing the shovel in a dry location between hunts extends its lifespan, though the five-year warranty against breakage under normal use reflects Lesche's confidence in the material's long-term performance. Many detectorists report using their Lesche shovels for years without significant rust or degradation, even in humid climates.
