Gold Cube The Pick Sidewinder Prospecting Pick
A compact, hard-hitting pick built for serious gold prospecting. The Sidewinder from Gold Cube's The Pick line is made to dig, chop, and pry in the tight, rocky spots where gold likes to hide. Its curved blade and sharp, pointed tip let you work crevices, bedrock cracks, and hard-packed ground that a shovel cannot reach, while the built-in magnet at the handle end helps you grab small iron trash and check for magnetic black sand.
