Not looking to argue TH lighten up, just looking for clarity with regard to what you posted about CM's in post 11, admin didn't say anything, you did. I guess I was wrong thinking you knew what was going on. After seeing what you said about CM's in posts 11 and 14 that proves it.

TreasurediggerNY watch what you say or you will find yourself making snide remarks everywhere else but here Treasure net.

Sorry...I am NOT a seller...

My best friend built it in Italy and many Italian seller have this on their website...

I want only to show to USA Detectorist the Italian best Scoop....

I hope give you a good information...

There's been quite a history of busted scoops here, and they do tend to be expensive. With a 40 year career in construction engineering I do tend to think in terms of structural integrity. I look at the pictures of the Italian scoops and see one heck of a lot of holes and not a lot of metal structure. And that was the FIRST thing I saw. Yep, you need drainage, but you also need structural integrity to last past the first season if you are a serious water hunter.

I will agree that the Italian scoops are pretty

And they are fine for hunting in beach sand, but I'd be afraid to use them in the water - especially on fresh water lakes. Something has to give, and rocks don't give much.

It's not so easy for Mods and Admins to accept / reject a post when it comes to product.

Something is sure: TNET needs money to pay the bills and let us chat and enjoy this fantastic forum for free. You have supporting vendors & manufacturers paying $$$ each month so it's easy to understand that Mods and Admins do their best to prioritize the one who pays...

Had a few discussions with them and I don't hesitate to ask prior posting now...

The scoop looks real good for soft, clean sand. In my hands and where I often metal detect (washed-out, stone covered beaches) the scoop wouldn't last a day. Even my heavy duty aluminum scoop looks like this after about 30 hrs:


Metal Detecting can be an extreme sport, if you find the right conditions...

I can assure that the SCOOPS are indestructible!!!
I am tall 196 cm and weighing more than 110 kilos!!!
I destroyed several handles but not one scoop!!!!
Small holes serve to not lose small items in gold!
In Italy we have 750 gold (18k ) and often many small earrings who are impossible to collect with large holes in the USA Scoops!
In the past I buy some USA scoop (also the famous Traveller) but I had many problem with holes...

Nice looking scoop.

I agree gamiller. Put your foot to the back of it a few times and see what happens. Not all sand is sugar, you have to use some effort to get a scoop full

The beaches that I attend I'm hard as a rock !

I have the stealth 720i hybrid (w/small holes on back bottom that catch most everything) and I love it!
They will repair it no questions asked! However if you are abusive and use it like a pry bar they will not keep repairing it!
Aluminum scoops will fail much sooner than a stainless steel scoop!

I'd have to give it a spin but Nothing is Indestructible!

Looks like it was made in the Ferrari factory... Nice
