An old rusty shovel that has an unsettling smell that never seems to go away. When touching the ground, the blade of the shovel hums when within a kilometer of a fresh corpse.
The volume of the humming grows louder the closer the shovel gets to the corpse, and the pitch varies depending on the type of death: from a low rumble for a natural death to a piercing screech for a particularly violent death.
