Digging tools and a card suit (6)

I believe the answer is:

spades

(Other definitions for spades that I've seen before include "Black suit" , "Passed around with diggers" , "One of two black suits" , "Card suits and shovels" , "Digging tools and card suit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
