Hi Folks, so on my last dig, the 2nd shovel full of loose dirt and I hear a snap... My folding prospecting shovel wooden handle snapped! Upon further inspection it looks like micro-termite damage... My friend thinks it may have been an old unmarked soviet surplus shovel that just got painted green. Bought 2 of them up at Gold N Detectors, which don't get me wrong is an awesome shop and I highly recommend it, but just FYI if you guys are reading this, check your green folding shovels :)

Anyhow!!!
I need a good, solid, preferably non-wooden handle folding prospecting shovel or 2!

Also looking for:

(Preferably folding) stream sluice box
Handheld GPS (both of mine got stolen, and my 17 y/o Magellan just isn't cutting it)
Decent Metal Detector &/or Decent VLF Gold Detector
Handheld Waterproof Pin-pointer/Pro-Pointer Metal Detector

Not quite as important right now but also interested in an entry level lapidary setup

I don't have much cash to spend right now, but I do have lots of cool stuff to trade, including outdoors gear, electronics, gadgets & lots of cool stuff!

Let me know what you have & maybe we can work something out!

Get a genuine military issue e tool... don't get a piece of crap Chinese knockoff. I've used the one I was issuedoing 30 years ago to dig foxhole, chop down trees, and dig anywhere. They are damn near bullet proof!
