Have landed a metal detecting permission where an inch or two under the turf, the ground changes to hard compacted glacial gravels which makes digging with a spade a bit of a bugger.
I am therefore thinking of carrying either a mini mattock like the small Hart, or even a roofers/geologists hammer...
To carry this I was going to use a simple hammer loop, but noticed the leather carrier's you guys use tend to hold the pick at a 45 degree angle... Is there a particular reason for this??? Or won't it matter too much????
Thanks in advance,
Peter
