Hi y'all, as many of you know I just got a used Surf PI machine and trying to use a scoop with a 24 inch handle in the pounding surf just flat sux! So, I have the 2 scoops from Colonial Metal Detecting's "2 Scoop Deal" that I bought for $50 and I use the heck out of the 24 inch when I'm doing the beach, but the "bendover" scoop that comes in the package (which IS wider by the way) has been relegated to being the loaner scoop. Well NOT anymore bucko!
Here is what I got in the 2 scoop deal:
So I went to Home Depot and I bought an aluminum pole, the Unger PRO Dual Head Handle for around 7 bucks, three 1/2 inch pipe U Bolts for 2.85 and 6 more 1/4 inch hex nuts to lock up the nuts on the U Bolts for 36 cents and a hose clamp for a buck and change. Total cost of handle - $11.50!!! Now if you factor in the 2 scoop deal at $50, then the little scoop is probably $20 in value/cost so I have a 48 inch handled scoop for just over THIRTY BUCKS!!! It ain't heavy duty but I will take care how I use it and should get a couple seasons out of it. Here's some more pics, enjoy!
