The Lesche Right Serrated Digging Tool works for gold prospecting in shallow placer deposits and exposed bedrock crevices where you're scraping material into a pan or classifier. The saw-tooth edge clears moss and root mats from bedrock seams, and the sharpened straight edge pries small rocks without bending. It's not a replacement for a crevicing pick or pry bar when you're working deep fractures in hard rock, but it handles the light crevicing and sampling work that fills the gaps between swinging your detector and running your sluice. Prospectors working desert drywashers or highbankers keep the digger on their belt for clearing overburden around target signals before switching to a scoop.
