All about pickaxes in the program Start Your Own Gold Mine in East Africa

Here you may see all methods of preparation, handling and maintaining the pickaxes in the program Start Your Own Gold Mine that we conduct in East Africa. We are opening gold mines in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and any other East African country such as Burundi, South Sudan and even in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo. We are zealous to get to the gold, forget the commercial series Gold Rush, we may often risk our lives, sometimes we are going deep into forest and jungle whenever necessary, just to get the gold. No fears of snakes or other circumstances that would not appeal to luxury life styles of Europe and North America.

At Start Your Own Gold Mine, we know the importance of pickaxes in our program, especially in East Africa. If you’re interested in starting your own gold mining venture, visit our website Start Your Own Gold Mine to find out more.

They are sold in parts, metal pickaxe part is sold separate from wooden handles and neither the metal part nor the wooden handles are all the same, so they have to be prepared and mounted together before any small scale mining work can start. This type of work took about two days to finish, without it, it would not be possible to dig all the alluvial mining pits later in time.
