G'day Dig

A couple of the detector shops have them.  They maybe in short supply as I am away detecting and will need to get home and make some more pronto.

Amazing and true value, so what you are saying is that if someone s pick is wearing out for true satisfaction follow the above links.Far be it from me to ever into any perceived cross promotional purposes, follow Daves porshe 911 advice or Dig24crts VW  will holley carb and a flair kits update

I help where I can,  and you did ask where a person could buy one.  and after all some are happy with a repair job, and some want a brand new job.     each to there own way I say.

cheers dave

Any chance of posting up a picture of a pick modified as described?
Maybe even a link to a picture would be good.

Hi 1anSDC
I looked, but have no pictures.. i than searched the web,, no luck there either.
I was hoping maybe someone would answer you
There must be someone out there that has a picture of a pick with the chisel end..  

I'm sure kiwijw was using one of those picks for some time, however, the post with a picture may have been deleted.

Thanks Axtyr

Yeah its a shame.  I do remember seeing a picture somewhere..

Kon has looked into the forum and fixed it so that the pages and post's dont fall off so quickly

Hi 1anSDC
we have a picture for you

A big Thankyou to Kevlorraine2 for the pic

Thats some serious hardware!
Thx for the picture its a simple fix I can do myself.

I have been doing that for some time now as originally I got tired of my picks just wearing out and thought that welding a cold chisel or masonry chisel on the end of it would make the pointy end longer and make it wear less quickly, and also get a second life out of the pick, also had some hard facing put on the tip of my large pick by my boilermaker mate, but even that needs touching up from time to time and have to use a cutting disc to do that.

Could possibly also be able to attach a small trenching machine chain tip to the end of a pick as well, maybe that would last longer.
