Shovel all the way; mine is stainless steel so I polished it to look like chrome. Named it "Clambo". When it's sunny I use the glare off the blade to blind the clams so I can sneak up on 'em. Works like a charm.

Gonna miss 'em today, the wife says I'm too old to out run a tsunami... she's probably right.

FYI... Old guys with shovels rule.
