Those are mighty fine though mate! I've ran by a couple in decent quality, but just couldn't convince myself that I needed them

Are picks of value? I haven't bothered to grab an in my axe hunting.

Got a feelin' these were snagged due to a lot of prior experience

Sweat and Blood is a strong mixture

i like that word...snagged
but the word i use is....fell off the truck..
i have a few more that i need to re do, as far as value in money they arent worth much...i think 20 bucks or so would buy a new one. the problem i have is once i spend some time on something...its not for sale, so i tend to collect alot of junk

They're worth plenty--just not money. :thumbup:

From "Dark as a Dungeon", written by Merle Travis. Same guy that wrote "Nine Pound Hammer" and "Sixteen Tons"

Miners' pics are usually smaller and the points are straighter, similar to the one on the far right in the pic. Smaller picks with short handles were easier to swing underground. I have one that one of our guys found in an old punch mine we opened up to survey.

OP: Glad you could bring them back to life. I love rehandling or re-purposing old tools. Most of them will last another century with no problem.
