When you’re chasing gold, the right tool can make or break a day in the field. Whether you’re working a creek bed, splitting gravel seams, or scraping paydirt from bedrock, you need something that can dig deep without dulling your edge or slowing you down.
That’s exactly what the Wiggle Pick was made for.
Precision Meets Power
Gold prospecting isn’t about brute force — it’s about control. You’re moving rock and gravel one layer at a time, looking for signs that lead to color. The Wiggle Pick’s thin spring-steel blade gives you that balance:
-
Sharp and narrow for precision work, letting you clean crevices and dig around rock without gouging bedrock.
-
Strong enough to pry and lift, able to shift large stones or roots without bending or snapping.
-
Responsive feel, so you can tell when you’ve hit solid ground, clay, or the pay layer.
It’s the kind of tool that helps you work smarter, not harder — especially when every pan of dirt counts.
Built for the Field
Each Wiggle Pick starts as high-carbon spring steel we cut, weld, and finish by hand in our Missouri shop. It’s heat-treated for resilience and finished with a parkerized coating that stands up to moisture, mud, and mineral-rich soil.
The handle is fitted for comfort and leverage — short enough for tight creek walls, long enough for trench digging. This isn’t a throwaway digger; it’s something you’ll carry for years of hunts and hikes.
Perfect for Bedrock and Creek Work
Gold hides where other tools can’t reach — deep cracks, narrow seams, and stubborn clay layers. The Wiggle Pick’s thin tip and flexible spine let you dig into those pockets without blowing them out. You can clean the cracks, loosen the dirt, and work around obstacles without chipping your rock bar or breaking your rhythm.
It’s the ideal companion for crevicing, test holes, and sampling runs — powerful enough to break ground, precise enough to leave nothing behind.
Crafted for Prospectors Who Earn Their Gold
At Flintforged Tool Co., we build every Wiggle Pick for real-world use — the kind of long days that start in cold water and end with a sore back and a few flakes in the pan. These tools are built to earn their keep, not hang on a wall.
Dig Deeper. Strike Smarter.
If you’re serious about prospecting, it’s time to ditch the hardware-store tools and use something made for the work.
The Wiggle Pick gives you the leverage, control, and durability you need to find what’s hiding just below the surface — and bring it home.
