Spade Modifications

[freemindstuck]

I modified my garden spade for Relic hunting. My lesche just isn't adequate, as my main tool, for digging in the woods and fields. Digging with a hand trowel requires you to get down closer to the poison ivy, poison oak, ticks, and chiggers. Folding shovels are just not as functional when digging. So I bought a rifle sling from Walmart for 9 dollars, and a couple of carabiner clips. And drilled a couple holes into my shovel with my drill press. I carry the shovel on my back with the rifle sling diagonally across my chest. It works great and is quite comfortable.
