I am in the process of building a water scoop. I can TIG weld and so it will be aluminum with a riveted stainless lip.
I have seen some of the scoops with a wood handle and was wondering if that is a plus or a minus?
In the past I have owned scoops with the aluminum handles but while I have been detecting I sometimes drop the scoop and so I have to attach it to my belt with a rope so I can pull it up from the bottom. I tried the float wrap stuff and it did not last very long. I would like to have a scoop that the handle floats so I can just grab it without having to get all tangled up with rope.
Is a wooden handle the way to go?
