Digging in wet sand and attaching pinpointer to metal detector shaft

[OBXmetalDet]

When I dig in sand with water, the hole fills in right away. Is there anyway to slow down the refilling?

Also, is there a good way to attach my pinpointer to the metal detector shaft?

You need a good Sandscoop - period. There is no need (in my opinion) to use a pinpointer at the beach if you have a good scoop. We have great sponsors here that carry quality scoops and handles. Big Gold to you!

How much weight does that add to the rig? Your back says don't do it !

The added weight might also upset the balance which also makes a big difference is comfort for longer hunts.

Pin pointer on shaft would be set off by the coil windings if it is at the bottom of shaft .

I don't use pp at beaches, I just use a large long handle beach scoop.

One person's idea of a good scoop may differ from another. Can you show a picture of what a good scoop looks like?

Also will a good scoop have a long handle (the kind where you don't have to bend over) or does the length of the handle not matter?

Check out our sponsors! This is a "Dune Kracken," and is great.
