Basic Principles:
This mattock originally was designed to work with slate and to crack up conglomerate and cemented gravel. Also it is very hondy to open or enlarge cracks in the rock. The head is made out of spring steel and was hardened in hell (almost! Rockwell hardness is 58!) but kept ductile inside and will (unfortunately for us) never break. The handle is made from ash tree and was not painted to keep is nonslip if wet. The length of the handle is 400mm.
Remark: the spring steel will corrode if you do not care about your tool. Originally it will be treted with non-corrosive spray, but should be dried every time after use and retreated with WD40 (or oil or similar) time to time. The tool will never get damged by rust (it will take decades do get substentionally rusted), but a rusty look is not our favourite! The Mattock is of course also suitable for archology or folks, who roam around with metal detectors (please ask for long version by mail! Sometimes available!). There is a german instruction at the download section.

Description of accessories:
We are proud to say, that the Goldblitz Ultra is definetly the best pan in Europe and maybe at all (see description below, why we are that enthusiastic about it). The pan must not miss in any equipage of a goldpanner. If you working with a sluice box, two pans are recommended (see my book for details, only available in german at the moment). We incorporated first and foremost our own experience in building that pan, and at least three goldpanning champions disussed the design with us.
The Goldblitz Magnetite Magnet is used to remove all magnetic parts from the black sand and out of the pan. That reduces the material and makes it easier to finish the pan.
