Speaking of picks, I bought an Hodan 16" pick and it works really well. It is the smallest out of the group. It has a rare earth magnet screwed into the handle, but I am going to buy a 3/8" diameter by 1-2 inch long magnet, bore a hole and glue it into the handle. I will then probably cover it with that liquid rubber to keep it from shattering if dropped or used roughly.
BTW, when purchasing rare earth magnets the higher the number the higher the grade or more powerful it is. For example an N42 is weaker than an N52 magnet of comparable size.
I just bought two Makros PP this year, but honestly I am waiting for a good review on the new Garrett and/or when they come up cheaper used before I spring on one.
