{"product_id":"motley-forest-double-serrated-shovel","title":"Motley Forest Double-Serrated Shovel - Adjustable Travel Spade","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Motley Forest Shovel is the double-serrated, adjustable travel spade for ground that fights back: root mats, forest floor, and packed pasture.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most detecting spades are one welded length that never fits a suitcase, a backpack, or an airline bag, so they stay home on the trips where the best ground is. Motley built the first fully adjustable travel concept spade: a quick-release clamp sets the shovel anywhere between 66 cm \/ 26 in and 100 cm \/ 39.4 in, and it breaks down to fit a suitcase, backpack, bike, boat, or canoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motley Forest Shovel (Forest Fox) is an adjustable-length metal detecting spade of 2 mm (0.08 in) high grade heat treated steel, sandblasted and powder coated. Length adjusts 66 to 100 cm (26 to 39.4 in) with a quick-release clamp. Blade 18 cm (7.1 in) wide by 20 cm (7.9 in) high, serrated on both sides. Weight 1,930 g (4.25 lb). D-shape handle. Made in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Forest blade and not the Field blade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotley makes distinct blades for distinct dirt, and dealers who stock only one rarely explain the difference. The Forest blade carries \u003cstrong\u003eserrations on both sides\u003c\/strong\u003e, so every push and every rocking cut saws through the roots that stop a smooth-edged spade cold. If your permissions are wooded, brushy, or old pasture with heavy root mats, this is your blade. If you hunt plowed fields and softer open ground, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-field-v-point-shovel\"\u003eField V-Point Shovel\u003c\/a\u003e trades the teeth for a smooth stealth-shaped blade that slices and releases faster.
