sunwyn,
Looks like that would do the job - but the handle is a little too short for me.
I used to have a short handle tool similar to that but mine had a 18\" wooden handle.
It was really just a very small pick/hoe, with a 18\" wood handle.
It worked great, but unfortunately I broke the hoe head one day and had to find something else.
That is when I changed to my long handle hoe digger and found that I liked it much better.
Hope you dig up a bunch this year !
