Hi Mbasio, Thanks for up loading pictures up for me, Over the next three or four weeks I will donate a couple of picks for raffle for when the weather cools of, Ron.
 
Ok Ron thanks for the Info, good strong steel there, and spotted gum wood, good stuff, saw a fair bit of that up on the Snowy when I worked there, and mountain ash and stringy bark, and red gum.

Cheers

Hi mark, By now You will have your pick, I guess you will have tried it in back yard or bush, I design these picks to drop on side and scrape the dirt from the hole make it very quick to clean out AND to REFILL holes,DO NOT SHARPEN YOUR PICK TO A SHARP EDGE you are grinding your pick away, May the gold gods smile on you, DONATION FOR RAFFLE, NOW, I have a little brother digger Packed ready for post for a forum raffle,IF management wood like to pm a address for postage will post tomorrow,Thanks and best wishes to all, Ron.

Last year we flew home from Queensland leaving our CC picks in the vehicle there. I bought one of Ron's picks online (because of the price) so that we could attend the DEWAG muster here. I was a bit concerned that it was heavy compared to my old one but once I got to use it the weight was no problem at all and the flat sides really makes a difference. It's a really strong pick that digs well and is great for scraping the soil to clear a few rocks or refill the hole.

Thanks Ron for a very good value pick.

Hi Mate i cut these from leaf spring with angel grinder and very thin blade be very careful not to heat them to much cant use oxey will heat to much and break off, when i weld the eye on i put them in a sand box so they do not cool out to fast, never sharpen a pick to a thin sharp point they only wear out to quick I do not mind telling a few secrets i think it good to make your one gear, Iam just about to make a dry washer blower to take to tibooburra in may, Ron.
 
Hi, Just to let anyone interested in my gold picks they wont be available til about first of june, going prospecting, My turn to find some gold, Cheers Ron.
 
Ok thanks Ron, my little digger or whatever it is called, is going like gang busters, what a great pick mate and top workmanship. I have been telling all my mates about them.

Cheers
