You can use the Mini Sampson for gold prospecting in dry washes, bench deposits, and other accessible sites where compact digging tools are practical. The pre-sharpened edge cuts cleanly through desert soil and caliche, and the rust-resistant steel withstands exposure to mineralized ground. Prospectors working tight spaces between boulders or shrubs appreciate the Mini Sampson's 18-inch length and T-handle control. The shovel is not designed for heavy excavation or prying large rocks.
