David's tool is very similar to a commercial roofing-shingle stripping
tool like this
<https://www.bigrocksupply.com/MBI-Tools-Mini-Stripper-24-inch.aspx>.
I've used such a tool successfully for digging through cobbles embedded
in hard mud. It's much stronger than a shovel and has a broader cross
section than a pry bar.

That Kiwi Gravel Digger looks like a good cave tool, esp. for a
sinkhole dig or something close to the entrance, but also it looks to
big for a longer cave trip.
A 12-14 inch steel crow-bar was my favorite cave tool and I almost
always carried it in West KY, and I did use it to extend the cave many
times. Yesterday I was sorting cave equipment in our basement and I
came across two of my old small "crow-bars."

Recently there was some discussion of cleaning out Ernie's shed.
If anyone finds a digging tool exactly like the one in the link below,
then I would like to either donate it to the TSC or someday get it
back. I had it engineered, but it was a lousy digging tool. Worked
great for chopping off fingers and stuff like that.

Last time, I saw it, it was in a passage in a cave by his property.
