Most of the time over the years I have been detecting I have built those tools etc needed to make the task of searching and recovery easier.
Sometimes though it makes sense to go with equipment that is available, rather than spend time and effort "re-inventing the wheel".
I wanted a smaller scoop than the one I have been using for so many years to have smaller loads to lift and allow me to hunt longer without getting exhausted.
I saw this scoop mentioned on another forum as available on E-Bay and ordered one as it looked like a great buy.

It is well made of sturdy materials and at $99.00 the price was right.

It is of 14Ga. S/S, 7
