It is perfect for metal detecting, just like me!
This thing rips right through all that! It's making this job so much easier than what we were previously doing, which was shoveling until we hit roots (which was about every 2 to 3 shovelfuls) then bending over to hack away at them with a machete. My only wish is that the 58" one had a handle on the end like the shorter ones. It would have made it so much easier for my 6'4" fiancé to use.
This was the first time I ever removed tree stumps like this, so I'm perfectly fine accepting some responsibility for user error resulting in the failure of the tool.
However, the video demonstrating its sawing ability is very optimistic. It does work well for small roots up to about 0.5" dia. but anything over that will be a bit of a struggle. You aren't going to get through it easily. I would recommend having a limb lopper for larger roots to save time/effort.
Toward the end of digging up the second tree, the handle bent. I flipped over the shovel to bend it back. It worked okay, but I think that was the beginning of the end. I was ALMOST finished with the third tree when it finally failed. I'm grateful it held out for me. It took me 20-30 minutes to dig up each tree.
All in all, it was serviceable. If you have some smaller shrubs or grasses, or additional tools to assist with larger jobs, this will do the trick. But if you have a larger job, you might want to buy 2 of these just in case.

Mi capita che quando pianto in profondità la pala e faccio leva per estrarre la zolla, se la terra è compatta, la lama della pala si fletta troppo rischiando la rottura. Bisogna affondare la pala a mezza altezza e ripetere lo scavo . Comunque sono contento . La vanga del nonno era più pesante per niente ergonomica ma molto dura
