A Pickaxe is an item that can be used throughout Skyrim to mine ore. Ore Veins can be found in the wild or within underground caves. To activate just target the vein and your Pickaxe will automatically be equipped and you will begin to mine the ore.
You can use the Pickaxe for mining, but you can also enchant pickaxes as weapons (the starting damage is 6 points), but because you can pick up these items around the world you can use them to level your Enchanting skill if desired.
