Anyone recommend a decent long handled beach/sand scoop for $100.00 or less. Hopefully it can break down into a couple of sections since it will be used while traveling.

Thanks Donna, I'm looking at the Quest Scoopal. If I have to spend $650.00 for a decent (not top of the line scoop), I'll buy a welder and materials and make my own. I was just curious as to what other folks are using. I don't need a scoop to dig to China just something that won't fold like a cheap suit the first time you use it.

I'm not a reader, I usually wait for the movie to come out. But if I need to read a book to get an idea of buying a scoop, I'll make my own. I was just hoping some of the water beach hunters out there would post what they are using and how well it's working for them. But I guess they aren't using no $200.00 scoop or else they would be braggin about it.
I purchased a Quest Scoopal and I am happy with the quality and price and feel it was a good investment. I looked into the higher end sand scoops, with the price plus the cost of the handle for me it's hard to justify. When you get down to it when I started water recovery options were limited and we fashioned many set up's. In the end they all scooped sand, it's a your choice.

Thanks rodbuster, I also purchased the Quest Scoopal with handle. I'm impressed with the quality so far. Like I said, my intent is not to did to China. I mainly hit dry beach sand and occasionally wet sand. I usually hit the beach three or four times for the year and often fly down to the Islands once a year so the sectioned two piece hand comes in handy. I plan on cutting about 10-11 inches off the handle to shorten it a bit. I got the Scoopal new for $88.80 with free shipping.
