The Lesche Mini Sampson 18-inch ball handle shovel is best suited for relic hunting, coin shooting, and gold prospecting in out-of-the-way locations like farm fields, old cellar holes, and ghost towns. The pre-sharpened serrated edges cut through roots and compacted soil, and the 18-inch length provides reach for typical coin and relic depths without the bulk of a full-size spade. The aggressive blade design and cutting edges make it less appropriate for park hunting on maintained turf, where a low-impact plug cutter is the better choice. Detectorists working metal detecting shovels and diggers in rural and wooded sites find the Mini Sampson handles the repetitive digging demands of multi-hour hunts.
