Why the Wiggle Pick Belongs in Every Bottle Digger’s Kit


Bottle digging isn’t just about pulling glass from the ground — it’s about patience, control, and respect for the history buried beneath your feet. You can’t rush it, and you can’t do it right without the proper tool.

That’s where the Wiggle Pick comes in.


Built for Precision, Not Destruction

When you’re digging through an old dump or privy layer, there’s no room for clumsy shovels or oversized pry bars. One wrong move can turn a century-old bottle into shards. The Wiggle Pick’s thin spring-steel blade lets you work carefully around fragile glass while still moving serious amounts of soil.

You can loosen packed layers, slide along the side of a bottle, and feel every shift in the dirt — all without losing the strength to muscle through compact ground or pry free embedded debris.


Why It Works So Well Underground

Bottle diggers know the deeper you go, the harder the earth gets — and the more delicate the work becomes. The Wiggle Pick was made for that exact balance.

  • Thin, tapered tip: Works between bottles and roots without chipping the glass.

  • Elastic spring steel: Flexes under stress instead of snapping or gouging.

  • Light but strong: Keeps control in tight holes or trenches without adding bulk.

It’s a tool that feels natural when you’re down in the pit — one that lets you dig with confidence instead of hesitation.


Handcrafted the Hard Way

Each Wiggle Pick is cut, welded, and finished by hand in Central Missouri. We start with real spring steel, not mild hardware-store metal, and finish each blade with a parkerized coating to protect against rust and moisture. The handles are individually fitted for balance and comfort — no loose hardware, no gimmicks, just solid craftsmanship.


Made for Diggers Who Respect What They Find

The Wiggle Pick gives you power to dig, but also finesse to preserve. Whether you’re tracing a bottle seam through packed clay, working alongside glass shards, or prying up an old stopper, it gives you that feel through the handle that tells you when to stop and when to push.

That’s the difference between a broken relic and a perfect find.


Dig Smarter. Dig Cleaner. Dig with a Wiggle Pick.

If you’re serious about bottle digging — not just breaking dirt, but recovering history intact — the Wiggle Pick is built for you.
