Best scoop for hardpack sand digging

[Tony]

I'm after a beach scoop that will best suit digging in the wet hard pack sand.....

1. Need to use it with just my left arm
2. Heavy duty
3. Light
4. Doesn't need to sift that well...dig and dump

My research had lead me to this model

The KICK IT ALUMINUM WATER SCOOP by Reilly's Scoops

I like the curved top handle for pulling towards you.

I am using a Minelab SD2200D to hit the lower beach during our winter....the results so far are astounding !
You need to be crazy and have a strong back.

Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Tony

i use an alunimum scoop from Reilly's and love it but for hard pan the SS Sun Spot Stealth Scoop was better but heavy!

I just got this scoop and put my own handle on it so i could use it with just one hand,this handle works perfect,it is a heavy scoop,i would recomend the smaller one they make,i can move some sand,but what a workout,notice the ring in the scoop pic to the right,its a gold ring i dug late last night during a super low tide,but it shows just how big the scoop is.On page 2 is a link called Stealth 08.

I have that scoop also, just wondering what kind of handle that is and where to get one?
