Myself..I love wooden handles especially in rough waters. I have three scoops that I use regularly depending on where I'm hunting or travelling to. My problems is, the stronger the scoop the more I think it will move stuff. W&D

I have gone to the wood handle scoops too. I like the profile of the scoop in the 2nd photo Steve uploaded (kaptainkosmic) and the ebay scoop in sand/gravel/clay/mud matrix found in the Northwest. The low profile is much easier to land a target in then the angle profile on the Diamond Head, for me any way. I am selling my Diamond Head.

Best Regards,
Steve

Hi
I recently bougt this one.

Its made by this guy http://www.gsmservice.od.ua/stavr/index.html and I put the handle on myself.
The sifting is very fast with hexagonal holes.

Hi Gerrit,

Those are nice scoops, a fellow forum person has one here in Washington and loves it. I will buy one one of these days. They are light weight and drain like a dream. I hear you can get different size holes in them. So I take it that you are happy with it? Have fun!

Best regards,
Steve

That shovel scoop looks easier to use than the other scoops. At least, in dry sand.

I'm strictly a wet sand hunter. I've had the Babb's scoop, shown below for 3 years. I can strongly recommend it, but not in the 2 piece version. The screw holes don't hold and will strip after just a short while. I sent it back to Bill, he modified it to make it 4 screws to keep it together instead of just the 2 it came with, and they all 4 ended up stripped. I've since had it welded to make it a 1 piecer. As a one piece scoop there's nothing better in my opinion.

Heavy Duty "T" Travel Beach Scoop - Only 4.2 lbs. All aluminum and 48" overall length, broken down length is 24". Basket is 11" long, 6" diameter with 9/16" holes.
#6HDTTBS - $140.95
