You can use the Mini Sampson for gold prospecting in dry placer deposits where you're digging test holes or moving overburden to reach the pay layer. The narrow 4-inch blade cuts through compacted gravel and clay, and the heat-treated edge stays sharp when hitting rocks. The Lesche Sampson is specifically designed to be perfect for gold prospecting along with relic hunting and coin and jewelry hunting. Prospectors working desert washes and hillside benches find the 18-inch length easy to carry and the aircraft-quality steel construction super strong and rust-resistant for demanding field conditions.
