The Badger works for metal detecting recovery in hard-packed soil or rocky ground where a standard digger won't penetrate, but its real strength is bedrock crevicing and mineral recovery. The compact 10-inch head fits into tight targets, and the three super magnets help pull ferrous trash and iron relics out of holes without a separate scoop. Detectorists working old homesteads with rocky foundations or desert washes with caliche layers use the Badger to break through hard layers a trowel can't handle. For more recovery techniques, see our metal detecting shovels, diggers & picks collection.
