Go to a building site mate,ask a labourer to get you a graft spade.Best one for the job in my opinion.

The best shovels for digging ferrets and charlie are called a general service shovel fibre glass shaft 8 inch wide round nose carbon steel ask the gas or water service boys digging the roads they'll lose one for a tenner

Have a look at that mate. I can highly recomend it.

 

I have both the spade in the link and a bulldog rabbiting spade. The heads on them are more or less indentical in shape, the one in the link has a 'D' handle whereas the bulldog has a 'T' personally I much prefer the 'D' alot more comfortable I find. It also has a stainless steel head which doesnt get as clogged up with soil as the bulldog.

 

Like I said I have both and they are both good but IMO your getting a spade that is as good if not better for less cash with the one in the link.
