The Nokta Premium Digger (part 17000061) is a hand digging tool with a 7.5 in stainless steel blade and serrated cutting teeth along the edge. The teeth cut through roots and hard soil that bind up a smooth blade, so you can open a plug and recover a target quickly. It comes with a heavy-duty polyester belt holster so the digger rides on your hip between targets.ƒholster
Who the Nokta Premium Digger is for
- Park and yard hunters who dig through turf and roots and want a neat plug they can put back.
- Relic hunters in overgrown ground: the serrated edge cuts roots that stop a plain trowel.
- Beach and wet-ground hunters: the stainless steel blade resists rust better than plain steel.
If you mostly dig in soft soil or sand and want a lighter, lower-cost tool, Nokta's Standard Digger uses a polymer blade. For deep targets or hard-packed ground where a hand digger is not enough, a full-size shovel is the better choice. Both are in our shovels, diggers and picks collection.
Key features
- Serrated cutting teeth: saw through roots and fibrous turf instead of tearing them, which makes cleaner plugs and less work.
- 7.5 in stainless steel blade: long enough to reach most coin and jewelry depths, and stainless resists corrosion in wet and salty conditions.
- Heavy-duty polyester belt holster: keeps the digger on your hip between targets so your hands stay free for the detector and pinpointer, and stands up to wet and dirty conditions.

Where it works well and where it does not
The Nokta Premium Digger works well in park turf, root-filled fields, garden soil, clay and wet sand. In heavy rock or deep targets beyond the blade's reach, a shovel saves time and the digger's tip. After beach or saltwater hunts, rinse the blade in fresh water and dry it before putting it back in the holster. Stainless resists rust, but salt and sand left in the holster still wear on it. Prospectors can also use it for sampling gravel and clay in gold-bearing ground.
