This is the shovel that answers the question every detectorist eventually asks: why am I still hauling five pounds of steel across a forty acre field? The CKG carbon fiber metal detecting shovel weighs just 2.25 pounds, roughly half of a standard steel digger, yet drives a double serrated tempered steel blade through hard soil, soft sand and everything between. Ordinary garden spades flex and bend at the neck when the ground fights back. This one is built to dig, not bend.
The narrow 6 inch blade concentrates force for deep, controlled plugs while the serrated edges saw through roots on the way down. The ergonomic polymer D handle keeps your grip planted with wet gloves, the carbon shaft never rusts and the two piece design breaks down for backpacks and trunk storage. At a full 39.5 inch working length, you dig standing up all day and barely notice it on your shoulder between targets.

Why Detectorists Choose This Carbon Fiber Shovel
- Lightest full size digger in the lineup: 2.25 lbs total, about half the weight of a comparable steel shovel, which your arms will notice by the second field.
- Double serrated bite: Teeth on both edges of the tempered steel blade cut roots and turf from either angle without repositioning.
- All terrain blade: The narrow 6 inch profile punches through hard soil, slices soft sand and lifts controlled plugs in parks and lawns.
- Rust proof pairing: Carbon fiber shaft and coated tempered steel handle beach spray, wet sand and muddy fields without corroding.
-
D handle control: The ergonomic polymer grip drives with your palm and steers with your fingers, even soaked or sandy.

The All Rounder of the CKG Digger Family
If you only carry one shovel to every kind of ground, this is the one. It splits the difference across the whole CKG lineup: lighter than the round point shovel, more all terrain than the turf focused flat shovel, and full length where the travel shovel trades reach for packability. Relic hunters who prefer T grip torque should look at the CKG T handle shovel. Whichever digger you run, a pinpointer and a finds pouch complete the recovery kit.
