A plug for a spade that you can buy on a metal detecting forum near you. It's a reminder that what is euphemistically called "metal detecting" is often about blindly hacking out collectable archaelogical artefacts out of archaeological contexts - trashing them. It's not about a "love of history" but a consumerist "love of HAVING". As you can see, this spade has got a nasty serrated edge for "cuttin'fru those roots" and anything else that's there. Of course if you are following the Code of Best Practice for Responsible Metal Detecting in England and Wales and keeping off pasture and out of undisturbed woodland etc, then you'll not need that. It looks pretty dangerous to me.
