Found this in a Chinese digging ?

[bullet digger]

First time out with the 4500 and they say dig everything so i did and found this about foot and a half in the side of a Chinese digging. Looks like a broken pick end similar to the complete picture. Looks like its been beaten by a blacksmith and has that bent looking tip just the same . I wonder if it is Chinese steel? Any thoughts.

Might be an original "crack scratcher".

Well i'll be buggered Woomera. Its funny how ya see modern day gold prospectors with the same pick from miners den. I wonder if back then they all wondered around with the same branded pick from a certain company or blacksmith hahaa it looks like it. Awesome find
