Fast shipping and good prices!
Hit a target dig a little and if the target goes away it's probably stuck on one of the magnets. Hit and run to the next one.
Went with the 30 inch pick with three magnets. Loving this thing so far. I dug a target that was holding a pile of nails and a piece of gold.⛏️⛏️⛏️
Sturdy tool to have.
I bought the 36” handle.
I live in the Sierra Nevada and get out to hike/prospect at least once a week.
So far this tool has not let me down. I’ve used it to pick apart compacted gravels, pry apart football size gravel, chip out quartz vein samples, roll logs, break branches and climb near vertical banks.
I will eventually get the larger model too.
Excellent quality. Very heavy duty. I don’t think I could ever wear it out. I’m very happy with my purchase.
