The Badger LT's 6mm steel head is built to withstand the repetitive impact of breaking up caliche layers and prying apart fractured bedrock without bending or chipping. The head thickness provides the durability needed for striking quartz-veined bedrock and consolidated gravels common in desert prospecting environments. The 24-inch hickory handle provides a comfortable grip and control during extended digging sessions in hard-packed material. The lightweight design at approximately 4 pounds makes it manageable for all-day prospecting work in demanding desert conditions.
