Bob(AK) Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Talking shovels, any of you Minelab guys ever seen a shovel like this?? 28 inches long, just a baby round pointed shovel. Was given to me by a guy that had several Minelab detectors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Minelab sent one to me after I purchased a GPX detector a while back - was a total surprise. I use mine at the soils and aggregates lab here at Allwest Testing & Engineering, where I work during the summer months. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 It was part of the GPX 5000 "first 100 buyers get special promotional shovel" deal. Given the price of the detector I imagined a gold or chrome plated shovel engraved with Bruce Candy's signature. I admit I was vaguely disappointed when it turned out to be a common garden spade that had a Minelab logo embossed on it. Very rare, probably worth a million dollars on eBay in pristine condition. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolanDave Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Same as Lunk, Minelab sent me one, when the gpx5000 first came out, and I purchased one, still have it somewhere ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~LARGO~ Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have one... It's an Ames brand shovel. I got it when I bought my GPX 5000! It is probably worth a lot with that in mind, kind of like my fine Minelab coffee cup, that puppy cost me 5 grand to get as well!

Bob(AK) Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 thanks for letting me know I have such a valuable shovel. I had never seen anyone mention it so wondered where it came from. New never used--for sale 1/2 price--half million 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
