I was at a junk store and found very nice garden tools to buy for 5
dollars a piece. I think maybe they were mismarked with indelible ink,
however they seem very sturdy and have nice colors. I bought a garden
fork and the prongs have a bright, shiny metal like silver, but seem
stronger then that. Does anyone know about Spear and Jackson tools? I
also bought another trowel for1 dollar because the price was so low and
it has a deeper scoop then my regular one.

You got a bargain. Spear and Jackson is a fairly expensive UK make;
shiny silver strong metal sounds like their stainless steel range.
