today the Stavrscoop sent me to the recliner - 2011 class ring - targets/tickets

this pretty much gives you the big clue.
When the price of gold rose over 2300% in the 1970s, Balfour responded by developing rings made from alloys in order to keep prices down for its customers.

Thanks for the video Max, enjoyed watching. That gentleman who was doing all the digging, where did he get that handle for his scoop, looks like something I could use on mine. Thanks, HH John

Good hunt, I'd say digging all those targets would put me in the recliner to,, but I'm curious to,,please tell us about that handle on your friends scoop,,it looks like it makes it way easier to man handle that scoop,,,I need one of those...thanks again and enjoyed the video...even my wife enjoys them..lol

Sunspot sells the lift handle seen in the great Max videos. http://www.gold-scoop.com/thescoop.html

Also at Max's link............

I tried them but prefer to just use my left hand to hop the handle straight up vertically till the basket is up and by that time all the sand is sifted out of the scoop. This way I don't have to use other hand to lift scoop and then insert hand back in arm cuff. It is what ever you get used to doing........

 

[AdamBuchanan]

Max and Sandman, thank you, Will be buying a handle to add to the arsenal..
