Hello Everyone,
Before I purchased my water/wet sand scoop, I decided to ask a few more questions. I will be doing mostly fresh water beach/shallow water hunting with some wet sand hunting. I will go to the ocean here and there, but not that much. If you had to classify my hunting, it will probably be light to medium duty hunting in that it will be for 2-3 hours at a time at most. I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and although they are in great shape compared to before the surgery (now 8 years ago) they do not have much endurance for prolonged activity. They need a rest after few hours of detecting/digging. So,
1. Should I get a scoop made out of stainless or aluminum?
2. Is it better to get a scoop where the handle floats upright or not? And,
3. What shape is best? Round barrel shovel nose type, flat bottom, diamond shape? If you can tell me why you like a particular shape, it would help me make my final decision. Thanks.
