just what I need


two bottle openers that spend most of there time covered in manure ????


good job I am not a recovering alcoholic


No idea why teeth seem to be a requirement to sell MD spades


I think if the joint holds up it will find a use for packing on expeditions one people using public transport or travel by motorbike


I do feel it needs a V2. No saw teeth and a D handle. But thats just my preferences

I really like the idea of the adjustable spade however with such adjustability comes increased weakness, I am sure the main blade should hold up but how much punishment will the adjustable handle take
Will be interesting to see how these spades hold up and if they endure the test of time, if they do I will get one myself

I've used one for 3 weeks or so now and it's a massive improvement over my little cheapo spade.

However, I wish I'd bought the version with the solid, non-adjustable shaft as the play and rattle in the joint when carrying it kind of annoys me. It's the only criticism I have though. the digger itsself is an amazing bit of kit.

Try wrapping some electrical tape around the upper shaft level with the lower shaft @ your setting and another wrap at the bottom so its a snug fit & does not rattle

To be honest, in general, I don't pay much attention to YouTube reviewers as many are either sponsored by Retailers, receive the item as a gift in return for a review, or are looking to receive such perks in the future..

That is so very true, if these Youtubers give a bad / negative review they are not likely to receive anymore products from the manufacturer / Dealer.
Just stay clear of the sponsored influencers and try to find Youtubers who are real users and have not been sent the machine for Free

YouTube can be very convincing

some aren't just poor but dishonest

turning down one detector when comparing

ground balancing some but not others

Best I have seen is adding the beep afterwards

some just dont understand metal detecting. Like building a test garden in front of a metal fence.

same with online reviews. Are the genuine. Have they even used the product.

spades are difficult to compare

depends on

where you detect. A sandy beach isnt the same as a rocky hillside. A pebble beach isn't the same as ploughed arable

one persons ideal spade might be rubbish for someone else. Just because they either use it differently or on different ground.

I love mine, I was out on Wednesday digging solid frozen ground top 4/5" solid, wife's Spade wouldn't touch it she had to stay near the edge of the field where it was softer, I was in the middle, it cut through the frozen ground no problems and getting the plug out was hard I was swinging on it and it took anything I asked of it, very impressed, and I'm not sponsored by Nokta and I bought it
