Dig Cleaner Plugs. Cut Through Roots. Recover More Treasure!
When you're searching old homesteads, farm fields, parks, or historic relic sites, your digging tool is just as important as your metal detector.
The Lesche Sampson 36-Inch T-Handle Shovel with Single Serrated Blade is built for serious treasure hunters who need strength, precision, and durability in challenging ground conditions.
Proudly made in the USA, this heavy-duty digging shovel features a heat-treated steel blade, reinforced welded construction, and a comfortable T-style handle.
Its single-serrated blade combines a sharp cutting edge on one side with aggressive serrations on the other, giving you versatility when digging through grass, roots, and compacted soil.
Whether you're recovering Civil War relics, colonial artifacts, old coins, or lost jewelry, the Lesche Sampson is a dependable tool to have in the field.
Made in the USA: Quality American craftsmanship from a respected digging-tool manufacturer.
36-Inch Overall Length: Provides convenient reach and leverage without the bulk of a full-size garden shovel.
Single-Serrated Blade: Serrated cutting edge on one side helps work through roots and tough vegetation.
Heat-Treated Steel Blade: Designed for strength and durability during demanding digging applications.
Heavy-Duty Welded Construction: Built to handle repeated use in challenging soil.
T-Handle Grip: Provides excellent control when digging and lifting plugs.
Narrow 4-Inch Blade: Ideal for controlled digging and clean target recovery.
Versatile Outdoor Tool: Great for metal detecting, relic hunting, gardening, and landscaping.
Every detectorist knows the frustration of hitting thick roots, compacted soil, or stubborn clay while recovering a promising target.
The Lesche Sampson shovel is designed to help you work through these difficult conditions while maintaining control over your excavation.
Its narrow blade makes it easier to dig a manageable plug instead of unnecessarily disturbing a large area.
The 36-inch overall length provides additional leverage compared with shorter hand diggers, making it particularly useful during long days in the field.
Why choose between a smooth cutting edge and a serrated blade when you can have both?
The single-serrated Sampson features:
Serrated Edge
Helps cut through small roots, grass, and tough vegetation encountered while digging.
Smooth Cutting Edge
Provides a clean slicing surface for working through soil and creating controlled plugs.
This combination makes the single-serrated version an excellent all-around choice for detectorists who hunt a variety of ground conditions.
If you enjoy searching historic locations, you know that some of the best targets are buried beneath years of accumulated soil, roots, and vegetation.
The Lesche Sampson is particularly useful for:
Old homestead and farm-field detecting
Civil War and military relic hunting
Coin and jewelry recovery
Searching wooded areas
Digging in compacted soil
Cutting through grass and small roots
General treasure hunting and prospecting
Always obtain permission before detecting, follow applicable laws, and fill your holes when finished.
The Lesche Sampson is also a useful tool for gardeners, landscapers, and property owners.
Its narrow blade and T-handle design make it suitable for controlled digging, transplanting, edging, and other small excavation projects.

It works great for me
Last weekend I had an opportunity to use the 36 inch Sampson serrated. It worked out great and I am happy to have it.
Best digging tool out there.
Light weight but strong, works great
I bought the Lesche 36” T-Sampson in February. It didn’t disappoint. At this time of year the ground can be frozen, muddy, rock hard, or normal. The T-Sampson cot through them all. It is relatively light for its size, and the blade is sharp. I look forward to many years of use with this tool.
