The CKG Metal Detecting Shovel in steel is the tough one for hard ground. When you hunt rocky soil, packed clay, or old sites full of roots, this all steel build gives you the strength to dig through what stops lighter tools, so deep targets still come out.

Key Features

• All steel strength: Steel construction takes on rocky, compacted, and root filled ground that lighter tools struggle with.
• Serious digging power: Built to recover deep targets where a hand tool simply will not reach.
• Durable for hard sites: A dependable choice for relic hunting and old home sites with demanding soil.
• Clean plug cutting: The blade cuts plugs so you can recover targets and refill holes responsibly.
• Field proven build: Made to take repeated heavy use season after season.

Why detectorists choose the CKG Heavy Duty Metal Detecting Shovel

Some ground punishes light tools. When durability matters more than saving a few ounces, a full steel shovel keeps digging when others bend or flex, which is what serious relic and deep coin hunters rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the steel shovel different from the carbon one?

The steel shovel is heavier but tougher, which suits rocky and compacted ground. The carbon handle version is lighter for long hunts in normal soil.

Is it good for relic hunting?

Yes. The steel build handles roots and hard soil common at old sites, so deep relics still come out.

Will it cut clean plugs?

Yes. The blade is shaped to slice plugs, which speeds recovery and helps you fill holes neatly.

Is it too heavy for casual use?

It is heavier than the carbon version. If you hunt mostly soft soil or want lighter carry, the carbon handle shovel may suit you better.
