Not Your Ordinary Shovel
8’ long from tip to tip and handle is roughly twice the diameter of a regular shovel. And there’s not much angle to to shovel. Any idea on its purpose? The lady has 3 of them. They belonged to her late husband

Worked for a company assembling a water tower. Boss gave me a "spoon" about 8 feet long and told me to dig a hole 6 feet deep for an electric pole.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Not Your Ordinary Shovel
That is the shovel. Go back and see if she has the spoon to go with it.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Wow! A 6 ft hole with an 8 ft shovel? How wide would the hole be at the top? With my luck I would run into a large rock at 5 feet! Vern

Re: Not Your Ordinary Shovel
My brother worked for a landscape Co. while in college. The shovels they used had straight shanks to dig holes with straight sides. I have looked for one in area stores but they are special order only and high priced.
