Going to the beach next week. What kind of sand scoop do I need?

[jbow]

I've been looking and there are many to choose from with some costing more than I want to spend for two weeks use. I have never hunted at the beach so I have no idea if I will be mostly on the beach or mostly wading. I assume i'll be mostly on the beach. What is a reasonable scoop that I can use both on the beach and knee deep in the surf?

Thanks!!!

I recently purchased an aluminum 3 inch bucket scoop with a 30 inch handle. On my fourth dig in knee deep water it came apart and split at the seems as well as the welding came apart. Honestly, If you are going to do it correctly, you will spend around $50. Go on line to Kellyco or one of those and make sure you choose a solid stainless steal scoop. I just bought a real nice 48 inch stainless scoop on Ebay for $90. But it is also a larger scoop. Cant telln you exactly what you will pay because you want one for 2 weeks. Either way, you will get a crappy scoop for little money or a good scoop that will last for no less that around $50 to $60.

They're tough, lighter, and very good for hunting the dry or wet sand.
