ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a digging tool comprising a plurality of pivotally interconnected shovel segments which define a generally cylindrical boring means. Each segment includes a nose for penetrating into the sand surrounding a clam, a butt laterally opposite the nose, and a pair of spaced ears on opposite sides of the segment for pivotally connecting the segment with the other segments of the tool by overlapping respective ears and pinning the ears with suitable hinge pins. Handles are connected to the shovel segments to extend upwardly from the butt end and to allow the exertion of a downwardly directed force on the segments so that the segments will penetrate, nose first, into the sand around a clam, and for allowing an inwardly directed force to be exerted on the sand through the segments so that the sand and clam can be removed upon withdrawal of the tool from the sand.
