      First of all, thank you, Larry, for this comprehensive video because I have been looking for such an actual video for a long time so that I can trust it and buy the shovel in question. Well, now I am sure what to buy.

    I bought the Excalibur hand digger & the smaller sized shovel so when I’m hunting curb strips or in a park I’m not carrying around a large shovel drawing attention to myself.
    Excalibur makes the best shovels in the market.
    Been using the hand digger for 3 years and it’s good as new.

    Will you have any videos on the nitty-gritty of how to dive deep into property ownership and how to get approval? And where to look for "stuff"
    Once the permission has been granted do you share your findings with the owner or is there something that is drawn up that states what you find is yours? What legal advice do you make towards this end?
    Thanks for all your advice, help, and Happy Diggin' all y'all!

    All good information but different people have different needs when it comes to a digging shovel. I've never had my foot slip off the stomp pad of my Lesche but your feet are probably bigger than mine are. Also, the Excalibur is almost a pound heavier than the Lesche, which you might not notice but I definitely would. I still found this video informative and interesting so hope you do more in the future! Thanks!

    Have never had a problem with my Predator and from what I see where the bend is that connects the shovel blade to the handle on the Excaliber the Predator has stronger welds.
