Hello all,
Im a newbie. I just got my Vanquish 440 and have used it only one time. I hunted in a local park. I found 81 cents! I am hooked! I have a lot to learn and might have some questions. My next hunt will be on the beach. I live in Pensacola Florida. Im looking for suggestions on beach sand scoops. I, like many today, am working on a tight budget, so can't get a pricey one. Thanks for any help with scoop suggestions.

Congrats and welcome!
You have a fine machine. For my first trips to the beach i just used a plastic feed scoop from a farm supply store. It was under 5 bucks and worked well in dry sand.
I drilled a lot of holes in it for quick sifting.
Later i purchased a long handled scoop for 90 bucks.
Works fine. Hearing that coin rattle in the scoop is a sweet sound.
I think the brand i bought was an RGT.
