Modified scoop, part two

[fongu]

I went back last Saturday and redid the modification on my scoop and added some galvanized pipe hanger to cover up the wire and add some strength to my first attempt to modify it and it really works much better. I was having problems with some items getting under the hardware cloth and when I tried it out Saturday before my At/Pro conked out on me, it worked much better. It doesn't take much more time to sift with the 1/4 inch hardware cloth than with the regular holes in the scoop.
I finally sent my At/Pro to Garrett this morning and I'm looking forward to getting it back.
