Earlier this week I got out twice to a local beach to try out my new sand scoop. Found a nice beach cut and worked it for two hours on both hunts. Got about $10 in coins, a nice tungsten carbide ring (thought it was silver at first as it’s quite heavy) and 53 lead sinkers, (38 in my second hunt). I was only honestly surprised by the amount of sinkers I found (most were 8+ in the wet sand), so I was hoping to score a gold ring or two but I guess I’m not that lucky
The scoop works quite well, it’s made of 5mm piping so it’s quite sturdy. The wooden handle needs some minor improvements, and I would like to add another handle down the bottom so it’s easier to shake the sand out of it.
