Im after a vintage 3inch wide dutch hoe, as I far prefer using vintage tools-any ideas where I can get one
ive tried the usual online auction site
-
Car boot sales or junk shops, garage sales
-
I got mine in a job lot at an auction, 26 tools ranging from hoes to trowels and spades, a lawn mower and what I really was bidding on was a wheel barrow, all for £16
-
I got one from Fea Bay in the last fortnight cost me just under a tenner :)

Found a lovely vintage long handled onion hoe today in great condition in an antique market priced up at £12 and I got it for £10. Well pleased
next door to the centre is a garden centre where a new one was priced up at £29.50 with the steel not half as good as the vintage one
in a boot sale last weekend I had a older bulldog make 4inch dutch hoe for £2 , a quick sanding down of the handle a coat of liniseed oil and its ready for use
look out weeds
