Yeah get that hard stuff for sure I reckon. But really want to keep it as a historic piece, would love to make a model of an old miner and the pick in some bit of rock....i reckon that would look good.

Hi CECC, Just as madder of interest these old picks were coal miners picks back when they done it the hard way, I used there same pick opal mining at lightning ridge with a few mods, black smith tapered the point to about three quarter inch wide and razer sharp. Ron.

Hi Ronald, good to hear from you mate, I thought they might have been coal miners picks, wow that's good have u still got that pick? Yeah tapered one end and chisel the other end, I reckon she'd be good steel too.

Hi Mate, I sold out mining claims, camp, genset, truck, hoist, ladders, three of the picks, walk in walk out. If you use the pick watch the steel round the handle dont bite you,they take peace right out, Ron.
