With regard to trowels,I found that in the Spring,Asda sell a very,very,sturdy hard plastic garden trowel,it comes in very handy when trying to "winkel" coins etc without causing them any damage whatsoever, they are thick enough to even file a blade to each side.
And,by virtue of them being plastic there is absolutely no reaction when the pointer is in the vicinity of the trowel.
They are coloured black trowel,and green handle, very light to carry,fits into your finds bag,or easy to drill and put to a lanyard.
And the best bit.......only £1:00...👍

Only one problem using a trowel. You've got to get down close and personal.  Getting down aint too bad, it's getting up that gets me. Roll Eyes

Those mini spades might be OK for the dwarves in our midst but I'd break my back trying to dig with one of those. I don't mind getting down on my knees to retrieve stuff from holes - I just heave myself upright on my 'human-size' spade  afterwards . . .  Wink

Got velcro sewn on my detecting trousers in the knee area and made some knee pads from DPM so it doesn't show the muck. There's yoga mat material inside the knee pads . . .  Wink

If you want decent knee pads I got mine from home bargains for 5.99, had them for over 2 years and they are still going strong. They still sell them now
