The Badger LT is the Apex pick for prospectors who count ounces. It runs the same tough head material as Apex's full-size Talon with a slightly smaller head and an 18 inch hickory handle, so it swings in tight spots between boulders and rides in a pack all day without earning resentment. The super magnet set in the head sweeps your scrapings for ferrous trash and hot rocks, so you spend your detector time on targets that matter.
Why Prospectors Carry the Badger LT
- Light enough to forget: about 2.75 lbs, sized for all-day packing into remote claims.
- Tight-spot head geometry: the smaller 10" x 3.5" head works between boulders and in bedrock cracks where full-size picks glance off.
- One super magnet included: pass scrapings over the head to pull nails and magnetite before you waste detector sweeps.
- USA made hickory and steel: a replaceable 18 inch hickory handle in an all-steel head, built by Apex in the USA.
