Looking for information

[aggie]

Hi,

Hope this is the right place to post this, sorry if it's not.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the handy rock canes or

what you would call them? They had some at the rock/agate show

in Burnesville Mn this fall, I wish I would have bought one then

but did not. I have been searching for one ever since. Seems they

are harder to find than agates. The canes/shovels look kinda like

a cane with a type of scoupy bottom to pick up agates/rocks. They

also have a poker attached to dig around with at the very end.

If anyone has any information I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

I went to a couple shows this year but I didn't see anything like that. I just use a garden rake...makes a nice crutch too

Thank you for the info, will try that. I think there is another show/swap meet coming up in Feb. If I get to go I will cross my fingers he (vender with cane/shovel) will be there with them. Kick myself regularly for not buying one at the last show. Happy hunting!! =)

Yep do a search on Rock and Gem Scoop. I picked mine up in Two Harbors at the rock shop ended up buying my son one also. I love it for turning over logs and reaching out into the water and helping with footing in creeks.

OMG! Thank you guys so very much! That is exactly what I was looking for. I have seached the net for months trying to locate them. I was popping in rock shovel, agate cane, rock collecting shovel etc.... and came up with picks and hammers and all sorts of rock equipment but not the "Rock and Gem Scoop". Well, Merry Christmas to me! I can hardly wait til spring so I can use it =)

I suppose I better order one first LOL

Thank you again and I hope everyone has a Wonderful Holiday!
