Prospecting Tools Used to Dig for Diamonds | Our Pastimes
The primary prospecting tools for digging are the pick and shovel. The pick can be used to break up ground that is rocky or packed hard, making it easier for the shovel to do its job. A spade shovel should be used, as opposed to a flat, square shovel blade. The pointed blade of the spade shovel gives you the added ability to penetrate the ground.
