Overview
Designed for use with a metal detector, this lightweight scoop helps separate sand from your target area so recovered items stay in the scoop while the loose material falls away. Its 8.5-inch size and 3-quart capacity make it a practical addition to a beach or sand-search kit when quick sifting matters. The plastic construction and green finish keep the tool simple and easy to carry. With 0.5-inch holes, it is built for straightforward screening rather than heavy-duty digging.
