New S/S Long Handle Sand Scoop Should Flow Sand A little Better

Decided to pick up another long handle sand scoop different design than my punched hole aluminum scoop. This one should flow sand better and is made out of Stainless steel it is re-enforced for foot use to push into the sand and has a 40" handle. I added the Stouts back saver handle and a small Stainless clip to rest it on my belt hook taking the weight of it when walking I have my other scoop set up this way too ( This set up works great as I just rest the handle and clip on the belt hook and lightly support it with my free hand on or by the handle. All the weight is removed when walking with the scoop and it is very balanced) I also added one magnet in the back of the scoop basket on top of a small S/S clip I had laying around ( This kept the magnet flat level and secure and still allows plenty of sand flow around it)

I got the scoop on E-Bay from borderlineengineering.com It is well made and the owner is a cool guy and he will build it anyway you want you just got to call him, cost was $135.00

I am looking forward to trying it out soon.

Happy Hunting To All, :detecting:

Love the design because the large mesh area will allow sand to flow through and make the scoop lighter to lift. My Bomb-proof SS scoop brings up all the wet sand and it gets HEAVY!!!
 
Have you used it yet? Are you going to use it in the water? I need to make up my mind what to get...

In about 12 days I am going over to the beach after a long run of work for a break or vacation. I will be using it then and report back. It is my understanding this scoop will do a great job in both dry and whet sand and surf applications. It is designed to be pushed into the sand with your foot if needed. I hope for great results.

Take Care, :detecting:
