Hi Pete,
I have noticed the tape has been deteriorating for a couple of weeks now. And its on the procrastination list, better get onto both the pick and the skid plate.
Thanks for the great observation.

Im quite deaf from the guns n roses concert in melbourne last night and might not be able to properly hear the signal for a few days still
Hi MH,
Nice one Champ, GnR's would have been excellent to see. And the comp will run for 1 week, I will post up the final vid on the 20th.
Cheers
Pirate pete said:I will be looking to see if your pick is sharp lol I know you will take the sharp one out with you lol . Its ok I had to reweld mine so I was using my wife's for a couple of weeks that was on my todo list lol fixed now .just had a thought you need one of those go-pro cams with a chest harness just for some more gear to carry :lol: PP
Minelab Gold said:Anyway time to sharpen this bloody pick. The end thats meant to be pointy almost has a 20mm radius I reckon. The flat end is like a 3mm flat piece of steel, its more blunt than James, It wont even cut through a bloody 2mm tree root and I reckon my ball peen hammer is sharper than my pick. Time for change
Have you got a Arc Welder, get some hardfacing rods and buildup your edges then sharpen it as it wears down a bit, do it again, your pick will last for everMinelab Gold said:Pirate pete said:I will be looking to see if your pick is sharp lol I know you will take the sharp one out with you lol .

Hi Pete,
Nooo - I wont take the other sharp pick, I will keep my word and sharpen this one Hmmmm good idea though
Go-Pro's are pretty good with the amount of attachments and the quality of the image is great with the 4k ones.

MG just think how much more time you could send digging more targets with a sharp pick. The way you operate and the ground your working should increase your gold tally I'm thinking :Y:

That way you don't heat the metal
up and gives a smooth finish.
