    The Lesche Mini Sampson 18" T-Handle Shovel is a compact, low-profile digging tool built for serious metal detecting in parks, gardens, and other sensitive locations. Designed for relic hunting, coin and jewelry recovery, and even gold prospecting, this shovel delivers strength, control, and precision in a lightweight, easy-to-carry size.

    Crafted from aircraft-quality steel and heat treated for durability, the Mini Sampson is super strong, rust-resistant, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Its compact length provides plenty of leverage while remaining discreet and easy to use where full-size shovels aren’t practical.

    This bundle includes the ReadyShovel leather holster, allowing you to securely carry your shovel on your belt and keep your hands free during long hunts.

    Built for Performance in Any Ground

    The Mini Sampson features a pre-sharpened cutting edge that slices cleanly through soil while resisting dents and nicks from tough digging conditions. The T-handle design offers excellent grip and control, making it easier to dig clean recoveries with less effort.

    Perfect for parks, gardens, and tight spaces, this shovel is part of the trusted Lesche Sampson series—tools relied on by detectorists worldwide.

    Designed to Last – Exceptional Warranty

    Every Lesche Sampson shovel is built to last and backed by a five-year warranty against breakage under normal use. Each shovel is hand crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques and premium materials to ensure long-term reliability in the field.
