• Premium hickory handle – Natural shock absorption reduces hand fatigue during extended detecting sessions

Designed for Metal Detecting Success

The Talon Stubby excels in scenarios where full-size picks are too cumbersome. Whether you’re working around tree roots, digging in cramped urban areas, or need a lighter tool for all-day detecting sessions, this pick delivers the durability of Apex’s larger models in a more manageable package.

The solid steel head design prevents magnet interference with your detector’s signals. The 6mm head thickness strikes the perfect balance – thin enough for precise work but thick enough to handle rocky soil without bending. Professional detectorists appreciate the hickory handle’s natural grip and shock-absorbing properties that reduce the jarring impact of hitting rocks or hard-packed earth.

Who This Pick Is For

This tool works exceptionally well for detectorists who prefer lighter equipment, those with limited storage space, or anyone who frequently hunts in areas where a full 30-36 inch pick would be impractical. It’s also an excellent choice as a secondary pick to complement your primary digging tool.
