{"product":{"id":8289818771740,"title":"Lesche All Purpose Shovel with T-Handle and Heat-Treated Edge","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lesche All Purpose Shovel is a 26-inch T-handle digging tool built from aircraft-quality steel for relic hunting, coin and jewelry recovery, and gold prospecting. The 5-inch by 8-inch curved blade features a long tapered cutting edge that resists dents and nicks when you're working rocky soil, roots, and hard-packed ground. Relic hunters and coin shooters who dig dozens of targets per session reach for the AP Shovel because the heat-treated edge stays sharp through repeated use, and the lightweight 2.3-pound construction reduces fatigue on multi-hour hunts. Unlike stamped steel shovels that bend under stress, the Lesche AP Shovel is hand-crafted from rust-resistant aircraft-grade steel and backed by a five-year warranty against breakage under normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the Lesche All Purpose Shovel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLesche All Purpose Shovel with T-handle grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-year warranty against breakage under normal use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Relic Hunters and Coin Shooters Reach for the Lesche AP Shovel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-treated tapered edge resists dents from rocks and roots, stays sharp through dozens of targets without manual sharpening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26-inch overall length provides comfortable digging positioning without the back strain of short-handled tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.3-pound weight balances strength with portability for detectorists who walk miles between targets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft-quality steel construction delivers rust resistance in wet soil and coastal environments where stamped steel corrodes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-year warranty against breakage under normal use backs the hand-crafted construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAircraft-Quality Steel Construction for Repeated Hard-Ground Digging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lesche All Purpose Shovel is hand-crafted from aircraft-quality steel. The 5-inch by 8-inch curved blade is heat-treated after forming, which hardens the tapered cutting edge to resist deformation when you strike rocks, roots, or frozen ground. The heat treatment process also makes the edge virtually self-sharpening during use, the tapered geometry and hardened surface maintain cutting performance through hundreds of plugs without manual honing. The rust-resistant steel finish holds up in wet soil, salt air, and humid storage conditions that corrode stamped carbon-steel shovels within a season. Detectorists who hunt Civil War sites, old homesteads, and colonial-era properties work ground where every plug encounters rocks, clay, or compacted soil; the Lesche AP Shovel's construction is built for those conditions. Our team has used Lesche shovels on rocky Virginia relic sites and hard-packed Midwest farmland, and the tapered edge outlasts stamped alternatives by multiple seasons.
