Maybe you have to use an excavation technique once considered by California in the 60’s for excavating highways: nuclear warheads. http://atomic-skies.blogspot.com/2014/02/project-carryall.html?m=1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/gizmodo.com/the-u-s-once-considered-using-23-nuclear-bombs-to-blas-1638145994/amp 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

skiman1016 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks for all of the great (and entertaining) suggestions. I feel better about the general category of chisels to buy and will probably try out several of the different suggestions on this thread! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad I’m handy (mostly) and have most of the tools needed to make stuff. Speaking of making stuff, it’s finally a comfortable temp to start forging again! Where are you purchasing 01 at? I've been using 1070-1080 from Admiral for stuff like this. With less carbon I haven't had to worry as much about brittleness and the cost is fairly low per foot.

After shipping it works out to $18 per foot for a single 3’ piece of 1/8 x 1 1/2” stock. It gets more economical the more you buy but I don’t use it enough to buy a bunch of it. I just picked up a huge coil spring for $20 at an “antiques” shop. That’s typically 5160 steel.
