Aircraft-grade steel construction improves the Lesche Sampson's durability by resisting dents, bends, and stress cracks that retire lower-grade shovels after a season of hard use. The steel tubing is heat-treated to increase hardness, so the blade and shaft hold their shape when you hit rocks or roots in farm fields and cellar holes. Relic hunters working New England foundation sites and Midwest farm fields report the Sampson resists the damage that bends standard hardware-store shovels. The rust-resistant finish also extends the shovel's life in wet ground and stream crossings. Understanding metal detector technologies helps you match your digging tool to your detector's target depth and ground conditions.
