This is the tool for that moment. The narrow serrated blade drives with your boot, the steel shaft will not flex under a full-body pry, and the T-grip gives you the twist leverage a straight pole never will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CKG metal detecting T-handle shovel is built from tempered steel. Manufacturer-listed figures: blade 10 in \/ 25 cm long and 4 in \/ 10 cm wide with serrated edges; overall length 39.5 in \/ 100 cm; T-handle 5.5 in \/ 13 cm wide; weight 1750 g \/ 3.8 lb. Black finish. Suits inland digging on ground where you have permission to dig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the T-handle over its sibling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePry strength. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-carbon-fiber-metal-detecting-shovel\"\u003eCKG carbon fiber shovel\u003c\/a\u003e is the one you hike with; this is the one you lean on. All-steel construction means the failure point a composite shaft eventually finds under hard prying simply is not there, and it is the least expensive full-length digger in the CKG line. The narrow 4 in (10 cm) blade profile is the relic hunter's cut: a slim slot in clay instead of a crater, deep enough to chase a signal past 10 in (25 cm) using the full blade. Almost no specialty dealer stocks this shovel at all; the listings that exist are title-and-price pages, so the manufacturer's real dimensions are printed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and what they mean in clay\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:45%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTempered steel, one rigid build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-weight pry with no flex and no shaft joint to work loose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade 10 x 4 in (25 x 10 cm), serrated edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoot-driven cuts through sod, roots, and compacted clay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e39.5 in \/ 100 cm overall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStanding dig height; save your knees for the recovery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.5 in \/ 13 cm T-handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwist leverage to break a plug free in one motion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1750 g \/ 3.8 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe weight is the point: momentum does the digging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich CKG digger is right for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eT-handle steel shovel - this one\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-carbon-fiber-metal-detecting-shovel\"\u003eCarbon fiber shovel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-pro-11x9-stainless-steel-sand-scoop\"\u003ePro 11x9 sand scoop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum pry, clay and hard ground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25 lb carry weight, root-cutter blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeach and water recovery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCKG metal detecting T-handle shovel, tempered steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho you are buying from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory Seekers is an authorized CKG dealer and a working detecting channel: over 1.1 million people follow our hunts on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hseekers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@HistorySeekers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e.
