Perfect for Professional Prospecting

Developed with input from working prospectors, the Apex Pick Extreme handles everything short of hard-rock mining. The magnet-free design makes it ideal for metal detecting in mineralized ground where magnetic interference is a concern. The 8mm thick steel head maintains its edge through rocky soil and root systems that would damage thinner tools.

The 30" hickory handle provides the sweet spot between leverage and control - long enough to generate serious digging force, but short enough for precise work around sensitive targets. Whether you're recovering deep coins, cleaning out crevices, or following a gold signal, this pick delivers consistent performance.
