When I am digging targets pinpointed by my metal detector I almost always
encounter roots of some kind. I used to chop away at these with my digging
tool. I finally got smart and now carry a small pruning shears with me. I
find it so much easier to snip the roots out of the way, and I don't
risk damaging the target.

I carry a set of pruning shears also. As you stated they work well
for roots and I have found that they work really well on briers also when
out relic hunting and trying to get yourself, detector and head phones
through thick briers. A snip or two with the shears and you can ease
up a couple of more steps without jerking your head phones off your
head... KB

I don't carry any pruning shears ... I simply carry a medium size pair of
wire cutters, or side cutters if you will.. they work great and never wear
out.
