What is it?

[vhgmcbuddy]

This long handled tool has a spring and a pronged fork at the end which I’ve tried to show on the photos. I wonder if it is used to shoot dandelion roots into the neighbour’s garden, but does anyone else have a better idea?

It certainly looks like a daisy grubber, not seen a spring loaded one before.

This would appear to be a daisy grubber and I remember seeing one once before at an event somewhere. If I remember correctly the spring mechanism allows greater, (to a degree), purchase when levering.
I like the idea of shooting weeds into the neighbours garden, no doubt in the dead of night, — a brand new way of annoying the neighbours without starting an engine !!
Something else to look out for our collection.
A nice find–Steve
