Miami beach scoop arrived!

[Goldpick]

My Miami beach scoop from Latvia arrived this morning, just in time for a club detect on our local beaches next weekend. Loving the solid build of this scoop, yes it is a little heavy, though the upside is that it should last forever being all stainless steel. No flimsy supports, or handles to break, decent thickness to the steel, and 110cm sealed SS handle makes for a very solid unit.

Certainly looks the business GP. Nothing weak or flimsy about it. Plenty of holes too. I was going to buy one until this other one I got came up cheapish.

I was probably a bit hard on the last Indiana scoop, levering too many rocks in the shallows caused it to fail. Deep targets in wet sand can also put a lot of stress on a scoop handle mount, hence why I prefer the solid welded handle on this one.

What was the total cost including shipping Goldpick?

Looks the business.

 

[Goldpick]

From memory, $145 US for the scoop, and they do worldwide shipping for a flat rate of $25 US. Equates to around $242 au, depending on the exchange rate at the time.

I certainly had more confidence using your SS scoops over the one I originally had. I was just waiting for something to snap on mine when trying to dig those deep heavy scoop loads of wet sand, or prying out targets from amongst the rocks. Surely enough, it eventually failed - bent brackets & cracked welds.

It couldnt possibly compete with this military component grade exquisite tradesmanship sand scoop I've just made for this weekend :lol:
Hopefully she holds up for the job 8)

Mmm, don't know Atom, are they quality MIG welds I see there just below all the strapping? I gather this is for retrieving stuff from the creeks you have been frequenting?

Good luck, I hope you have some lucrative hunts, lots of people with holes in their pockets and all that sort of stuff.
