How *do* you hunt shallow water exactly?

[Lasivian]

I'm getting an Excalibur but i've never hunted in the water before. (In fact I have zero water gear at all)

Do you rely on trying to see in the water, or just scoop up a massive bunch of sand with a long scoop and shake it out? Etc.

And what about shore areas that aren't sand? Lots of "beach" here is bigger gravel that wouldn't sift well at all.

Thanks

kaptainkosmic, I see we have the same scoop. Also, we seem to carry it on land in the same manner. I really like that scoop. I've never had a problem digging my target unless it was extremely small and fell through the holes.
