I'm looking to purchase a sand scoop. It will be my one and only. I've not had one before.
I'm looking for recommendations as to what brand/model to get. I realize that everyone has their favorite tools, and also tools they hate, and would consequently caution a prospective buyer to stay away from. I'm looking for a scoop that is obviously sturdy, that I can definitely use my foot or shoe to help push it into the sand without the scoop crushing. I'd like something that doesn't weigh a ton, but is built to last. I've seen some scoops with handles that come out of the scoop at varying angles depending upon the make and model and don't really know what angle would be best. My hunting would be on both wet and dry sand, and some really packed sand too (both fresh and salt water). At the current time, I don't think I'm going to be traveling to go detecting, so a break-down scoop would not be needed.
Basically, If someone were to say I wanted a pinpointer, you could tell them that you really cannot go wrong with a "Garrett Carrot". Is there a sand scoop that many can say you can't go wrong by purchasing it?
So, if you have a good candidate for me to check out, or one to stay away from, please let me know. And also, if you could say why you like or dislike it, that would be greatly appreciated as well!!!
Thanks in advance,
Andy
