Hi folks I have a new scoop coming next week, hopefully tomorrow or sometime between then and Thursday . Previously only had a plastic hand scoop and a small trowel , the sand scoop was a dream in the dry stuff but is a dead duck in the wet has it has no strength . The trowel although better was really not up to the job when something was a bit deeper in the wet sand as it did not shift enough sand efficiently .

Anyway hope with the new scoop and my new go find 40 I will find my first gold/ring
I am very pleased with the go find 40 it works well on the wet and on the first time out on Tuesday I found a £1 coin a zippo lighter and a totally encrusted USA 1 cent.

The go find 40 is great as I no longer have a car or motorcycle, and the detector Folds up and fits in my backpack with the scoop and phones. The new scoop has a detachable long handle so cab be used as a short or long scoop, leaving me only a pack and handle to carry. I have so missed detecting with my old bounty hunter fast tracker, I also had a fisher Cz 6 at one time too.
Anyway, thanks for reading , happy hunting ... Paul

It sounds like you will have the perfect set up for you. I am intrigued with the Go-Find series of machines, as they are so compact for traveling. Let us know how you do.
Happy Hunting!

May there be Gold in your scoop..... Soon!!:skullflag:
 

GL and HH. Those RTG scoops are great
 

Hope your not digging in the wet sand with that scoop, it want hold up in wet sand, handle breaks, it is a good scoop for dry sand though...
 

Not having to bend over to retrieve a target is worth it alone :)
 

I have a stainless steel scoop made by RTG. It is a bit heavy but you can use your foot in dry sand or heavy wet sand. I can handle it for about 3 - 4 hours before my arm is tired.

thanks all of you, it has arrived, will be going out with it Tuesday and hopefully finding some coins at least, I have got a get gold/ring this year, happy hunting....Paul
 

If the beach washes out and rock, gravel, shell and hard packed black sand is to much,
don't break your new scoop(learn its limits)! Grab a $15 shovel.... I got one in the pack just in case!
Looing forward to some of your future gold and historic finds :skullflag:!
