Would You Hunt A Site Like This If Every Target Had To Be Retrieved In This Manner?

Just curious how many folks would do this to get a coin?    This was my first attempt to video a live dig, so please forgive the lack of professionalism ?

my concern was for your toes or a possible shinner should you miss with the pick. As for the hunt, I sure would. I'd rather be able to make a bit of a mess than have to worry about a manicured lawn.

Lol... I have a lot of hours on that pick,  I've used it to dig trenches and everything else after I hung up my prospecting gear years ago.

I would try for a few, but certainly not for more than a couple hours.  I do have similar diggers as you. 

Lesche land shark,  Estwing 22oz rock hammer and 25" Estwing geo/paleo rock pick.

Wear safety glasses and don't smile while striking.  ?

First day I hunted it for 6 hours, in a day a so I'll show you why ? I ended up spending almost 20 hours here until the finds pettered out.  I like the tool on the far right, what is that?

Thank you very much, I think I'm going to add one of those to my arsenal. Estwing make some very good tools. I bought my pic I think in 2002, I finally had to put a couple of bolts through the handle to hold the head on.

They do make good tools.
