[QUOTE="just starting, post: 568160, member: 14279"] What pick configuration is the preferred choice by fellow prospectors ,here ? I use a long handled one , about 3 feet long , with a wide pick head that looks like the one in the picture below and it tends to get heavy when carrying around all day . I noticed some youtubers using a short handled one ,no longer than about 2 feet with a not-so wide pick head. Is it worth me trimming the head into a triangle and shortening the handle ? Do short handled picks dig as well as a long one or does it put more stress on your back bending over further ?
