Shovel

A shovel is a handy tool that makes digging a heck of a lot easier. Shovels appear quite frequently in horror fiction. Often they are used when digging graves. They are also seen being used by archaeologists excavating ancient tombs. Sometimes shovels can make useful weapons.

On The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes bashed a walker across the head with a shovel just as Rick was exiting a tank in the middle of Atlanta, Georgia.
