[QUOTE="DetectorMan, post: 524760, member: 17113"] Hi, I was considering one of those, but still use a traditional pick, it's hard to go to anything else, since the pick seems to cop a hiding with tough rocks and it survives 5 years so far. My question has always been how to carry the thing. The detector is enough to manage, but the pick is indispensable. With the pick, found target within 3 minutes. Without it, i was hacking away with small hand spade for 30 minutes. Target was rusty old miners can. Nearby area was covered in it's pieces scattered by it's pieces broken up. So I collected every piece and added it to the big garbage bag i haul out of the bush each time i go out. Seems like the pick is just too clumsy to carry and slows me down. Not sure what to do about this, it's the bane of my equipment. [/QUOTE]
