Update (5-15-2014)
After spending a weekend rockhounding with this, I love it (thus an increase to 5 stars). If I was only able to bring a single tool for any rockhounding trip, this would be it. Here are some notes:
-It can completely replace a standard pick except in the case where you are digging in a smaller hole--the head of this pick is pretty long, so it can be difficult to maneuver it in a tighter place.
-It is very effective as a pry bar. I noticed zero flex when applying some pretty heavy loading.
-It holds its edge well. After taking a serious pounding this weekend, the tip is definitely duller than when I started, but it could be much worse.
-The shovel is incredibly convenient
-The handle is very tough. So far there's no damage to the handle--I think it might actually hold up in the long run.
I only had my Estwing Rock Pick Hammer & a very small flower bed shovel. Lol
A guy from the rock club I belong too, took me on a "dig," with lots of rock & dirt to dig & sort through to find our treasures.
I was chipping my way & flipping dirt with my pick & tiny shovel.... He wanted to take a break & told me to use his Estwing Geo/Paleo Pick. I WAS IMMEDIATELY SOLD & HAD to buy one! This is really the way to go! It's all he ever uses along with a normal shovel to move large amounts of material loosened with the pick.
This pick quickly loosens & breaks material up, with it's pointed tip on 1 side & it's wider blade on the other. LOVE IT! Well worth the extra $$, & WILL last you a LIFETIME. It's well made & made in the U.S.A. by a long time, well known, quality dependable company.

Packaging was great and the item was very secured in transport. Important with an item can be dangerous if mishandled. The quality of the Estwing geo / paleo Pick is superb. If you’ve handled a lot of tools in your experience it becomes easy to tell a good brand almost instantaneous. Estwing is one of those brands to the newbie.
This pick is not light weight and it’s not meant to be light in weight. It has some heft to its high quality and durable finish. To give an idea of the quality, I still have one of my original Estwing hammers used for busting rocks and splitting layers, I’ve had it in use for 20 years, actually more. The handle and hammer is still going good.
You don’t have to be a scientist to use this brand. So if you’re looking for a long usage, highly durable with ultimate quality, get this pick. You might dig up some gold, fossils or just breaking up some ground for your next relic recovery. This pick and brand is second to none.
