Detectorist shovel device

A shovel comprising:

• a blade having a first longitudinal axis that extends along a length of the blade;
• a shaft;
• a first plurality of serrated teeth that is disposed along a first lateral side of the blade and that includes a first set of points and a first trough that extends into the blade in a first direction with respect to the first longitudinal axis;
• and
• a second plurality of serrated teeth that are disposed along a second lateral side of the blade and that includes a second set of points and a second trough that extends into the blade in a second direction with respect to the first longitudinal axis that is different than the first direction wherein the first trough and the second trough are of equal lengths.

A shovel comprising:

• a blade having a first longitudinal axis that extends along a length of the blade;
• a shaft having a second longitudinal axis that extends along a length of the shaft, wherein the second longitudinal axis of the shaft is oriented at an angle between about 5 degrees and about 25 degrees relative to the first longitudinal axis of the blade;
• a handle having a third longitudinal axis that extends along the length of the handle, wherein the third longitudinal axis of the handle is oriented at an angle between about 15 degrees and about 45 degrees relative to the second longitudinal axis of the shaft;
• a handgrip located at a center of weight of the shovel, such that a weight of the shovel from a center of the handgrip to a first end of the shovel is substantially equal to a weight of the shovel from the center of the handgrip to a second end of the shovel, the second end being substantially opposite to the first end;
• and
• a coupling component is configured to selectively and removably connect at least a first modular section of the shaft to a second modular section of the shaft, wherein the first modular section of the shaft includes an interfitting member and the second modular section of the shaft incudes an outerfitting member, wherein the interfitting member incudes a first push button and a second push button, wherein a first hole in the interfitting member is configured to align with a second hole in the outerfitting member to create a first set of corresponding holes, wherein a third hole in the interfitting member is configured to align with a fourth hole in the outerfitting member to create a second set of corresponding holes when the first hole and the second hole align, wherein the first set of corresponding holes and the second set of corresponding holes are offset from each other by less than 180 degrees, and wherein the first push button is configured to extend through the first set of corresponding holes and the second push button is configured to extend through the second set of corresponding holes to selectively and removably allow the interfitting member to fully couple with the outerfitting member in only a single, rotational orientation.

A shovel comprising:

• a blade;
• a shaft having a first modular section and a second modular section;
• and
• a coupling component configured to selectively and removably connect the first modular section to the second modular section when the first modular section and the second modular section are in a single, rotational orientation with respect to each other,
• wherein the coupling component includes a first movable catch and a second movable catch that are offset from each other such that the first movable catch and the second movable catch can only both engage and lock the first modular section and the second modular section together when the first modular section and the second modular section are coupled together in the single, rotational orientation.
