CKG Carbon Fiber Travel Shovel, Compact Metal Detecting Digger

The ultimate travel companion for metal detecting enthusiasts. Weighing just 1.8 pounds and measuring 28 inches long, the CKG Carbon Fiber Travel Shovel easily fits into your backpack, suitcase, or behind your truck seat. Whether you are flying to a beach vacation hunt or driving to a weekend rally, this compact digging tool ensures you are always ready for a hunt.

Small in size does not mean soft on performance. The reinforced round blade features serrated edges designed to saw through sod and soft roots with ease. Paired with a 28.5mm carbon fiber shaft, this tool is highly corrosion-resistant and thrives in beach sand, moist lawns, and moderate soil. The optional two-piece version clicks apart in seconds, making it the perfect digger to pack into checked luggage.

Why Detectorists Choose This Travel Shovel

• Highly Portable: 28 inches assembled and a total weight of 1.8 lbs. An optional two-piece click assembly version is available to fit perfectly in checked luggage.
• Serrated Round Blade: Reinforced steel with toothed edges cuts through turf, sod, and soft roots that easily stop standard smooth shovels.
• Corrosion Resistant: The carbon shaft and steel blade rinse clean easily after heavy use in saltwater, wet sand, and mud.
• Ergonomic Control: The D-handle features a non-slip grip, allowing you to dig with the control of a full-size tool rather than a flimsy folding spade.
