[QUOTE="A-team, post: 596835, member: 18790"] Does anyone know where or even "if" you can buy full size prospecting pick heads made of titanium? I know I'm going to get all sorts of opinions here but MY reasoning is existing injuries that are aggravated by carrying weight, but I still have no problem giving it a full over-head swing if needed. I usually carry a medium CC pick which was heavier (till it snapped!) and currently carry the Discoverer; This pick is designed to dig large holes for the prospectors who dont mind the extra weight of a powerful pick. Pick head: 6mm Handle length: 900mm Weight: 1350g I really like the size of the pick heads and length of handle combinations - I understand the weight contributes to it's purpose and abilities, but what a titanium pick might lack in weight I will make up for in the swing! Also, titanium while light and strong, doesn't have the best surface hardness, but for prospecting - I think it would be fine...cost, well, I'd wear that. [/QUOTE]
