Built for Serious Prospecting
Professional prospectors chose the Apex Pick Extreme for its ability to handle everything short of hard-rock mining. The thick 8mm steel head cuts through caliche, hardpan, and rocky desert soil that would damage standard picks. At 5 pounds, it delivers serious digging power while the 24" hickory handle provides the perfect balance of leverage and maneuverability.
The oversized head design moves significantly more material per swing compared to standard picks, making it ideal for opening larger holes around deep targets or clearing wide areas during cleanup. The no-magnet construction ensures your detector's discrimination stays accurate even when the pick is nearby.
