The most I've dug in a single scoop is 3.... A dime and 2 nickels. I'm sure most people have done better. Just wondering if I've peaked.

Honest to God I once scooped 20penneys, in the dry sand. I'm kinda sure I probably ruined a young childs day when they probably went back looking for their buried treasure . Didn't see anyone around but that many in one spot couldn't have been an accident.
Tell us some more...love that kind of story... see Cali is getting blasted by a HUGE storm right now.One time, during the storms that raked the coast of CA during 1997-98 winter, I got in a zone with the following conditions: It was eroded down to bed-rock at one area on the beach. The revealed sandstone had sort of a "ribbed" patterns in it. As each wave would cycle/wash through where I was standing, it was depositing coins and metal targets into this rivulet/rib crevices. And each time I scooped, it would come up with MULTIPLE coins. This went on for an entire hour, where no scoop contained LESS than 2 coins, doh! I don't recall which scoop had the most coins (there were also fishing sinkers, nails, keys, etc.... there). But I'm guessing 7 or 8 coins each at times. Finally, after about an hour of this, I recall shaking out the sand to see "only 1" coin. And was dissapointed that I was no longer getting multiple coins still. Man that was the day!
