I have Hip-Clips on all of my shovels, which lets me carry them on my belt whenever I want to free up a hand.

Is this like a carabiner?

You sure that was a hip-clip? Mine are only one piece and only use one bolt. If it was a hip-clip, let me know and I’ll send you a replacement.

Sorry about that! I had a DetectorPro and broke it, and the Ready Shovel that a bolt fell out of. 😅 Not the Hip Clip.

I have used the Lesche Relic Hunter since 2001, 39.5 inches long with a 5.5 x11 inch curved straight edge shovel with a T handle, its a small root guillotine, its not pointy. Mine is now 10 inches long. When the ground is super hard I use the Predator Raven.

More like a clip you’d see on an ink pen, but bigger. 🙂

My Nomad is a lot lighter ga. metal than the big root slayer but for me the key word was lighter.

This one can too. Lockup is excellent. No movement at the joint whatsoever on mine. A little pricey, but they even let you customize the blade style and overall length at checkout.
