I am not looking to spend too much more that $100. I don't care if it is a little heavy. Just looking for something that will dig nice in wet sand/ shells etc. What are some options? Right now I am just using a small shovel. Thanks
 
One of my favorite scoops is called something like Scroopol . It came with a travel handle and the only problem I have is I can't find a bigger one made by the same company. I would love to use this in the water but it's size is small for that. The sand flies thru us fast and you can dig deep.

I think you will like Stavr scoop
You can ask a question and I will help you with the choice of model for your conditions.

Unfortunately like a lot of items you get what you pay for. If you are not doing a lot of digging at the beach a 100 dollar scoop will serve you well for a good period of time. But if you are like a lot of us and spend a couple days or more per week digging in the wet sand then it will not last more than a couple of season Good quality sand scoops are expensive. Mine has been used for over five years. I have had to get it fixed once here recently due to cracks. But a local company took care of it for me and I did not have to ship it somewhere to get it repaired.

In the wet sand you need something thats going to have hole large enough to clear most material and leave the target.... other wise a full scoop in the OAT MEAL over time takes it tole on the ole back, shoulders and neck. I also agree..... something with a bit of a point to get around those shells you hit or into a hard pan.... otherwise the scoop tends to want to roll on ya.

Not sure because I got it from a company in Florida if I remember. I was looking for a wide scoop and this was the only one I found. Tomorrow I will take some pictures. Today I got work from 4 am to 11 pm tonight. I hate those hours as they cut into my MD !

I have to agree with Ruslan. I also use the EVROEXCAVATOR - 2 for hunting the beaches here in So. Cal. As a personal choice, I like the larger 12.7mm holes. It makes sifting very easy !!
 
Xtreme , Or Stavr

Have the market now, both good scoop's , have both , prefer Xtreme because of the quick release handle to goose neck lock down , 1st pick Xtreme , 2nd pick Stavr M-9

Hello, about the Scoopal. In the ad it says the stainless steel used is only 1.4mm. Most scoops are 1.5 - 2mm. Some folks would not even consider any scoops thinner than 2mm. After using the Scoopal, do you notice any bends or larger flat areas areas that have gone out of shape?

That scoop is well made. I think the reason maybe people don't like it is because maybe they are using it like it was not designed to be used? I got a little rust on a seem and that is it. I only use it in sand and not in the water. I do wish it was bigger then I would use it in the water.

I've had a few bad experiences. Seems I broke 1 part or another every few hunts. $2 to repair over here as there's a steel shop on every road and down every alley.
