Love that sand scoop, I would make one excerpt I don't really have any sand here in NW PA that I would find one useful!

I ahve had my Ames digger for a year now and it rocks!!

The Ames digger looks like my 7 in 1 I bought at Lowes for about $13. Got the end sharpened and it works great now.
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I like the sand scoop!

Ditto here on the digger. Man that serrated edge has been the most help everywhere i dig. Kellyco sent me a free trowel with my detector purchase but it broke after the third hole. got one of those diggers the next day and haven't looked back. Really like the sand scoop idea too.

My finds and snack/drink pouches are hunting gear bags i found at wally world on the cheap. big enough for a day in the field, zippers to keep the goodies in one place, and camouflaged so i can loose it easily in the depths of my Beetle.
