The first two are fine for dry sand. Digging in the wet with either of the first two and prying the contents loose will turn the scoops into trash. If you were looking for for a one time use (week vacation), then I would go with the first. Leave the scoop at your destination or sell it to a local for 20 bucks.

And if you buy the last one and dont take it a part and wash it down after every hunt then you will soon have a 1 piece scoop....... ask me how I know

It's neither. It's an angle.

1 and 2 are totally worthless for wet sand or in the water. If you try to use them on wet sand you will break them.....#3 is okay for wetsand and water but clean it like Errik says...

Better choices for wet sand and water...
