The Sampson shovel is built from aircraft-quality steel with a serrated pre-sharpened edge, and the 12-inch double-edged digger adds a saw-tooth edge for roots and a sharpened side for tough grass. Both tools are manufactured in the USA and covered by a five-year warranty against breakage under normal use.

The 18-inch T-handle shovel delivers the reach and digging power for targets 8-12 inches down in compacted clay or root-laden soil, and the 12-inch digging tool handles coin-depth plugs without returning to the truck. The serrated edge on the shovel cuts through sod and roots in one motion, a time-saver in overgrown farm fields where smooth-edge shovels require multiple strikes. The digging tool's saw-tooth side clears root mats around cellar-hole foundations, and the sharpened side slices clean plugs in grassy areas for faster recovery and neater refills. Both tools are heat-treated for edge retention, so they hold sharpness across hundreds of digs without field sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelic Hunting in Overgrown Farm Fields\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarm fields with years of grass and weed growth challenge smooth-edge shovels. The Sampson's serrated edge cuts through sod in one strike, and the T-handle gives you the prying force to pry compacted clay without wrist fatigue. The digging tool's saw-tooth edge clears root mats around shallow targets, so you spend less time wrestling with roots and more time recovering relics.

The Sampson shovel's aircraft-quality steel resists denting when you strike rocks, and the 18-inch length gives you the reach to clear deep holes without multiple scoops. The T-handle design reduces wrist strain during long digging sessions, and the serrated edge bites into root-laden soil around old foundation timbers. The digging tool handles coin-depth signals in the surrounding yard areas, so you're not hauling the full shovel for every shallow target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShovel Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18in (46cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShovel Edge Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5in x 4in (19cm x 10cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShovel Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 lbs (794g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShovel Edge Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serrated, pre-sharpened, heat-treated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigging Tool Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12in (30cm) overall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigging Tool Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double-edged (saw-tooth one side, sharpened other side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft-quality steel (shovel), Chrome-Moly steel (digging tool)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e T-handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cordura belt sheath for digging tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years against breakage under normal use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Serious Detecting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerious Detecting is an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/pages\/customer-care__about-us\"\u003eauthorized W.W.
