The 18-inch overall length of the Mini Sampson provides reach for typical detecting depths, which covers the common range for coins, relics, and shallow cache items in farm fields and cellar holes. The length strikes a balance between reach and portability for the majority of detecting scenarios. Detectorists appreciate the 18-inch design because it offers sufficient leverage for extracting targets without the added weight and bulk of longer shovels. The compact length makes the Mini Sampson easier to carry and swing during all-day hunts, whether you store it in a belt holster or backpack. The aircraft-quality steel construction and ball handle design work together to provide effective digging performance in out-of-the-way locations like old cellar holes and ghost towns.
