It should be a weapon though, you can now use torches as weapons I would have thought Bethesda would have extended that to things like pick axes, shovels etc
ah okay tnx. umm that of course raises the point, am I able to dig because I have a spot I think treasure is buried in.
That's what I want to know. I found a treasure map and its going to take me forever to find it, but I'm not sure if we are going to have to dig for it or not.
