The Lesche Sampson blade is 4 inches wide, which is narrow enough to work between foundation stones in cellar holes but wide enough to move soil efficiently. The 7.5-inch length provides good reach for deeper targets without requiring an oversized hole. Relic hunters working tight spaces between rocks and roots appreciate the narrow profile, while coin shooters in open farm fields find the blade moves enough soil per scoop to keep recovery times short. A wider blade would move more soil but would be harder to maneuver in rocky or root-laced ground. Browse metal detecting shovels, diggers & picks to compare blade geometries.
