How many picks have you been through trying to find one with a tough digging end as well as a wide scoop for pulling dirt from your hole? Well our good friend Joe from the forum came up with a real winner folks! The design is very simple while still being very durable and effective in the field. I have been using one myself now for over a month and just love it as I can really move the dirt out of those deeper holes now.

For prying and digging the quality leaf spring steel will hold its temper and stay sharp for cutting through that hard desert soil while the scoop end being made from the same steel as a # 2 shovel will last for many years of hard use and the curved design really lets you move some dirt. Although we don't recommend only digging with the scoop end it is definitely up to the task.

Joe offers 2 sizes the first, the Small Hermit has a 24 inch wood handle with a 11.5 inch tip to tip head with a 7.5 inch wide scoop. This is one sweet little pick folks and it weighs a only 2 pounds 11 ounces!

The Large Hermit has a full 36 inch handle for you "over the shoulder" folks with a 12.5 inch tip to tip head with a 8 inch wide scoop. This pick makes quick work out of any dig and weighs only 4 pounds 3 ounces! Thes picks are also available with a fiberglass handle for an extra $15.00 or you can even have a custom size made by request just give me a call at 623-910-0345 with your measurements.

Each pick is hand made to assure the best quality in a truly lightweight and tough digging tool! The best part is that the HERMIT PICK is made by one of our own here at the Nugget Shooter forum with the gold nugget hunter specifically in mind. I was most impressed that an idea so simple could work so much better than other types of picks on the market and at a much better price. My friends I gaurantee you will think this is the absolute best digging tool you've ever used and I use one myself. You will be seeing more and more of these great picks in the gold fields, so get yours now!
