Digging Helmet is the helmet used by the Digger Zombies. It is the weakest headwear and armor in Plants vs. Zombies.

Overview
The Digging Helmet absorbs 5 normal damage shots and its appearance changes upon an absorption of 2 and 4 normal damage shots and after 4 normal damage shots, the light bulb goes out.

Strategies

 * For more strategies, see Digger Zombie.

Being the weakest armor, you will have no problem destroying it. One Split Pea, Starfruit, Cattail or any other plant that can shoot backwards is enough to destroy it. You can also use instant-kills, stop it with a Wall-nut, or remove the pickaxe with a Magnet-shroom.

Trivia
For more trivia, see Digger Zombie.
 * It is the weakest headwear, and the weakest armor in the game, taking only five normal damage shots.
 * It is surprising that the light on the helmet does not go off after it is hit once, as the light is made out of glass.
 * Due to the fact that the digging helmet is plastic, it makes the same pthoonk sound that a cone makes when hit. Said sound is useful for alerting a player if a digger has bypassed your defenses without the player's notice.
 * The Digging Helmet's light does not work in level 4-10 and Dark Stormy Night. This may be because it is supposed to be dark.
