Nokta Makro Premium Shovel

A Turkish metal detector manufacturer has designed a novelty – a sectional shovel made of stainless steel. The shovel consists of two parts. It can be quickly both assembled and disassembled. Besides, it has an arrow-headed and tooth-shaped blade and a T-handle. There is a laser print ruler on the blade.

It made me interested right away since I like to go metal detecting light-handed, carrying just a backpack. In this case, there are quite a few backpacks that a standard shovel for metal detecting (not a sectional one) fits.

However, there are two things about this shovel that bother me. First is its price (since this is just a piece of steel), and the second one is its T-handle. When you carry it in your hands for the whole day, the handle shape is crucial.

My shovel has a covered handle, and I just hold it with my fingers. This T-handle looks inconvenient for me. I’d like to try it and then write a review.

Oh, and there is also a Double-Sided Bottle Opener, which is unexpected a bit, but let it be.
