Suit appropriate for diggers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spades

I believe this is a double definition.

'suit' is the first definition.
(playing card suit)

'for diggers' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'appropriate' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spades that I've seen before include "Black suit" , "Garden tools and card suit" , "Does some groundwork" , "One of two black suits" , "Digging implements" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
