{"product_id":"gold-claw-stainless-steel-folding-shovel-with-case","title":"Gold Claw Stainless Steel Folding Shovel with Case","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gold Claw Stainless Steel Folding Shovel is a compact digging tool built for detectorists who work remote sites where a full-length spade won't fit in the pack. The stainless steel blade cuts through compacted soil and clay without rusting, and the folding hinge locks the handle at 90 degrees for storage or extends straight for digging leverage. Prospectors working dry washes and relic hunters hiking to old homesteads carry this shovel because it collapses small enough to clip on a belt or slide into a side pocket, yet opens to a functional digging tool for target recovery. The included case protects the blade edge during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the Gold Claw Folding Shovel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Claw Stainless Steel Folding Shovel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective carry case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Detectorists Reach for the Gold Claw Folding Shovel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact folding design fits in a backpack side pocket or clips to a belt loop, so you can hike to remote sites without the bulk of a full-length spade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel blade resists rust and corrosion when you're digging in wet clay, alkali soils, or coastal sand, no maintenance beyond rinsing after a hunt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking hinge holds the handle straight during digging strokes and folds to 90 degrees for storage, giving you a stable tool that collapses when the hunt is done.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded case protects the blade edge during transport and keeps dirt out of your gear bag, so the shovel stays sharp and ready for the next outing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStainless Steel Blade Construction for Rust-Free Field Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel blade is designed for durability, so it holds up to rocky soil and roots without pitting or surface rust. The folding hinge uses a locking collar mechanism. Detectorists working wet ground or saline environments run stainless tools because they don't need oiling or rust removal between hunts.
