The King of Spades Super Sampson arrives ready to use with the D-handle securely attached to the shaft, the blade pre-sharpened and heat-treated, and the rust-resistant finish applied during manufacturing. Before your first dig, inspect the blade edge for any shipping damage and wipe off any protective coating if present, though most Sampson shovels ship clean and ready for fieldwork. Maintenance is minimal: rinse soil off the blade after each session to prevent buildup, and touch up the edge with a file when you notice cutting performance declining. The rust-resistant properties reduce maintenance needs, and storing the shovel in a dry location will extend its lifespan. Our catalog includes additional metal detecting shovels, diggers & picks if you need a backup tool or a different handle style for varied terrain.
