Where to find a pickaxe

For my first article I'm going to start with something I had much trouble with myself, where to find a pickaxe.I know it may sound silly, though.If you want to mine, you'll need a pickaxe. Here's where they can be found:
·Bought from any blacksmith
Almost any blacksmith has not only pickaxes, but all sorts of ingots and ore.
·Boght from most arms and armor shops
Since pickaxes deal out damage, they are technically considered weapons an are sold at most arms and armor shops.
·Found on the ground at any mine.
Yeah.
·Pickpocketed from any miner.
Also yeah.
·Found in pure luck on the ground anywhere else!:-)
