Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire When did shovels become "throwaway tools"?

I was dragged grudgingly to a thrift store last summer to look for a chair to wait it out while the women folk filled bags with stuff we don't need.

To my surprise I found this gem. Couldn't find a price anywhere on the thing, and finally summoned a worker there. It was written in black marker...no, not $200, or $20, the shovel...er, spade, was a whopping $2! I'd fill the pickup bed with them if I could find more.
