About This Pick
Developed in partnership with professional prospectors, the Apex Pick Extreme fills the gap between lightweight hobby picks and expensive mining tools. The 36-inch hickory handle provides maximum leverage for breaking through tough ground while the oversized steel head penetrates deeper than standard picks.
At approximately 5 pounds, this pick strikes the perfect balance between power and portability. The magnet-free design ensures your metal detector maintains full sensitivity - crucial when working productive ground where small gold nuggets require precise target identification.
Who This Pick Is For
Ideal for experienced prospectors working challenging terrain, detector operators who need extended reach, and anyone seeking professional-grade durability. Not recommended for casual hobbyists who prefer lighter tools - consider the shorter 24-inch Apex Pick Extreme for lighter-duty work.
