Scrounge up a leaf spring draw with chalk what you want.  Any welding shop should be able to cut it out and make it up.

Yeah both of these are just over 4" which is good for raking out the Dirt, In OZ the dirt is so hard Baked it's murder to dig, even Lawns are rock hard.

We are no stranger to hard dirt here in Arizona either. With long periods without rain, and 100°+ F temps. I doesn't take long to bake it hard. Add a little Caliche, and you have a great recipe for concrete.

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

The picks are cheap at about $85.00 AUD so that's about £40.00 But the Freight and the Import Duty Is the Killer, Because that Ramps up the price to around $230-$250+AUD
