Gold Dozer Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Anyone have any suggestions on what pick is to use for detecting? I've used a few but apparently I'm too hard on them. The Fisher I have now is bent and held together with Gorilla tape. Hoping for a decent point that can be pried on at least a little bit, a good sized hoe on the other end that can move material efficiently, and a magnet (that can be added if not included). Any suggestions? 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24655-in-need-of-a-good-pick-for-detecting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Clark Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Bunks Hermit. I really like mine, the reversed shovel head is perfect for removal of looser material over bedrock. Never thought I'd say it but everyone needs more than 1 pick. 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24655-in-need-of-a-good-pick-for-detecting/#findComment-260333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 The critical part of your question that was missed is where are you located? That makes all the difference to which picks you can buy. If you were in Australia no doubt the Gold Digger picks by Davsgold are great, tough as you can get. 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24655-in-need-of-a-good-pick-for-detecting/#findComment-260334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunks hermit Pick, Just purchase the head only and then pick up a shovel handle and cut it to the length you want, I also have his Burro Pick with a 36 inch handle the Burro pick is not quite as heavy duty as his Hermit pick, I modified my Hermit pick to a 40 inch long handle which for me works great. @Doc also sells a nice looking pick, which I have been giving some thoughts to purchasing one from Doc also here is a link to Bunks site http://bunknteri.com/Pick.html here is a Link to @Doc site https://docsdetecting.com/product/docs-nugget-stalker-brand-gold-pick-the-only-pick-for-metal-detecting-youll-ever-need/ modified Hermit Pick below 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24655-in-need-of-a-good-pick-for-detecting/#findComment-260349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMITH Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 @Gold Dozer keep in mind Bunks hermit Pick you do not want to carry in a pick holder on your waist, that spike on the Hermit pick would do some serious damage if you were to fall on it, I always carry it so if I were to fall I could get rid of it quick, because of that spike that is on the Hermit pick Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24655-in-need-of-a-good-pick-for-detecting/#findComment-260351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redz Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Get a piece of AR 600 or a boron harrow disc and make your own. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/24655-in-need-of-a-good-pick-for-detecting/#findComment-260352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
