Jim, just don't forget where you put it. Happens to me all the time.

Jim -

Potato Rake.

Hand held 'picker-uppers'. Those 30" long pincers with a pistol grip for picking your socks up off the floor.

Small (almost child's size) shovel to scoop up the treasures.

>THE< best way to find out information is to go to the DNR office, and at the counter, start asking all your pre thought out questions.
