[QUOTE="Ryan27, post: 92927, member: 1074"] I saw a youtube vid of a couple of blokes digging a target with a cheap pick the vid had three parts, part 1, part 2,part 3. I also was speaking to a couple of guys at Dunolly that left a target in the ground because their home made pick couldn't penetrate the ground. Buy cheap, buy twice! You will find the more full time prospectors will say CC or Walco. There is a difference in the two picks which I will explain later. The price of the CC picks is high however you can dig more targets in a days detecting and they last longer! A little bit like comparing a Landcruiser vs Great Wall. Personally I prefer to buy Aussie and buy the best. The loose head(pick to handle connection) that has been mentioned in this post. You won't find that in a professionally manufactured pick certainly not in a CC pick. Yes there is a reason for this also. There is nothing wrong with buying bunnies, just like there is nothing wrong with buying Aldi detectors. There is no shame in leaving Gold in the ground or taking 4x to extract gold from the clasps of the earth either. However if anyone can extract a target in Marble Bar Ground quicker and easier than I can with the pick below I will happily give my 4500 to them and give the game away!
