What kind of scoop is this man using?

[Mirco]

n/t

I have a hook on my belt and I put it there when swinging or walking. No prob at all.

I love huge, very big real things!

I love to dig out any object from sand in one huge big dig.

With PI it is must. You need to dig often, and digging must be fast. 5 ceconds max. With small blimby scoops it takes up to two minutes. Sometimes four or five!!

That's a good idea to hook it to your belt. Pulling 5lbs with your body isn't going to fatigue you at all.

You are making fun of me, but I shared how I deal with a very big scoop and for four months in the beach it worked for me perfect.
OK, no prob.

I am not making fun of you. I am just stating a technical fact. Pulling 5 lbs with your body and utilizing the power of your hips is way smarter than dragging it with your arm or on your shoulder all the time.

The project was on a small island off of an island that was off Vancouver Island. There was no way to get an excavating machine onto the island as the shore was rocky and steep so even a barge wouldn't work. I was standing at the site with my crew wondering how I was going to get that foundation excavated when a muscular guy came up to me and asked if I was looking for workers.
"What do you do?" I asked him.
"I just DIG!" he replied.
I hired him on the spot and he was back five minutes later with a BIG hand shovel, he started digging right away and he just kept on digging, nonstop for 10 hours. His name was 'Digger' and that's what he did for the next week, DIG! Digger was poetry in motion when he had a shovel in his hand, perfect form, economy of motion and REALLY happy to be digging. He took real pride in his work digging that big foundation.
A little over a week later the foundation was excavated mostly by Digger alone, I sent my crew off to another job after the first day because they couldn't compete with Digger. You strike me as that kind of guy too.
Digger was one of the happiest workers I've ever hired, loved to dig and when I offered him a job labouring on the site he said no thanks because it didn't involve digging. I did give him a nice bonus at the end of his work, never seen anything like this cat.

Kewl,

Those are the hands of a MD nut! You gotta love him!

No, the Excal is very sensitive. If I get my scoop within 3 feet of the coil it will pick it up.

Obviously that is what is happening with our friend in the video here. And obviously, he has conditioned himself to ignore the machine picking up the scoop and go for the real targets. Which is entirely "do-able" with the Excal. I could do it. But I wouldn't WANT to do it. I don't want to hear ANYTHING but targets. But this is apparently working quite well for this fellow, so who am I to question it?

If it WORKS, it WORKS!

Why don't you ask Travis Nutall, a lifeguard on Clearwater Beach, if he produced it? It's a QUALITY machine,that's for sure.

I wonder if that had not been added after editing to add an other dimension. I dont think you'd ear it that well coming from the earphones... so they just recorded some signals with the mike on the headphones while passing an item in front of the coil... maybe in all metal mode. It's the magic of cinema! Not always realistic for an expert like us, but fine for the grand public

Just my two cents worth

I was wondering that 2. I was thinking,"maybe they have a mic near his headphones or something." They probably did edit it in the video.

Wow! No wonder the Excal is a monster at the beach.

Hello, This scoop was designed and made by me and sold on ebay. It was made out of solid stainless with smaller holes on the bottom along with a flat bottom. It is similar to the beach brute but they were aluminum and had larger holes and wore out very quickly. I had to build lots of 100 each of these to cut down on the cost of these so that I could have an indestructable scoop. That it is!!! I have used mine for 3 years now and it still appears to be new and if anyone knows me they know I am a serious waterhunter. Now that stainless is double in price I just could not profit any by making them anymore so i quit. I did make the 2 piece also which is a great scoop for traveling. It was actually threaded so that no bolts or pins were sticking out of the shaft to scrape your hand on. I could make more of these but the cost would be about $200 each to build them unless I had 500 or so made of them. The one in the video actualy has a pointed section welded to it. I put the straight flat edge on it so that I could sweep the targets in it when hunting on hardpan or mud. It works excellent for flat bottom hunting. James Wurth

I could not make these anymore for less than $200 each to produce. I had a hard time selling them for $150 back 3 years ago before stainless steel doubled in price. Kellyco decieded to fork over the thousands of $$$$$ it takes to have them mass produced. I only made them so that I could have the BEST scoop out there that fit my needs in every way. I am far from being retired..... I hunt just about every weekend but do not have time to post very often. James Wurth

Let me know how much they cost you to build in Europe. Shipping has to be high though.... Jim
