Looking For Large Stainless Scoop With Long Handle

I am looking for a tool that is a cross between a stainless steel planting scoop and a shovel. Basically I want a giant planting scoop at the end of a long handle. This will help me, for example, when I am trying to remove a large thorny hedge or cactus, and I need to stand well away from it. Does such a tool exist?

I should have gone for a drain spade. I ended up buying this item which is the same idea with a smaller spade. This advertises itself as a long handled trowel. The Amazon searches for drain spade and trenching shovels both turn up very nice tools that fit my need. The one I went for is better for digging out small plants and precision jobs, maybe?
