The left serrated edge on the Lesche hand digger cuts through roots and fibrous vegetation more aggressively than a smooth-edge digger, reducing the effort needed to open plugs in overgrown or forest sites. The right side of the blade carries a smooth sharpened edge for clean cuts through soil and turf. Detectorists working cellar holes, ghost towns, and wooded areas where root systems are dense prefer the serrated configuration because it eliminates the need to carry a separate saw or root cutter. The 7-inch blade length and chrome-moly steel construction handle repeated root-cutting without dulling quickly.
