Hi all, looking for a bit of advice.
I've been keen to get a pick for my detecting and fossicking. I mainly go for relics and gems but may also go looking for gold one day.
When relic hunting I usually make do with a hori garden knife that cuts nice plugs, but when I go further out away from civilisation, I'm considering a pick for speedier recovery and easier breaking of hard packed earth.
For the gem fossicking I usually make do with a shovel, and I have a small hand pick, but again, a decent sized pick would open up more options and be less strenuous.
I have some Bunnings vouchers, and I understand cyclone to be a good reliable brand. I was looking at their Pelican pick, due to its interesting shape and having heard some people recommend them.
So my question is, are there any big advantages/disadvantages to the cyclone Pelican pick? Should I be looking at one of their more traditionally shaped picks instead?
