[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 8339, member: 147"] Depends a bit on the detector your planning to swing John. If it's for your ML Eureka Gold then one of smaller picks will certainly suffice. Your max target depth will usually be no more than 20cm. If your planning to use a ML PI then a larger pick is almost a must as the holes are mainly deeper and usually down to bedrock or hard pipe clay. If you dig 50 holes in a day with a small pick you certainly won't need to go to the "Gym" the next day. I run a GPX and use one of the medium CC picks. I've cut 100mm off the handle for easier hip mounting and find it quite satisfactory.Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
