Hi all,
I'm now in search of decent quality shod (steel sleeved) miner's pick handle or even the complete pick with head. The old school type.
Has anyone seen these or have any idea who might stock them?
I think I saw them in a fossicking equipment shop in Rubyvale but that was a while ago...

You have been so helpful, I really...
Hi Lone Wolf,
That is a good idea! I'm on Brisbane southside. The old sieve is approx 600mm so I was looking for something around the same size.
420mm may do though if a good price. The only one I can find is completely stainless, 450mm with a 4.5mm mesh and is around the $115 mark including...
