I don't
Long handled scoop is all you need .Pinpointer is better for grassy areas where your trying to disturb the ground as less as possible. I usaully scoop up some sand where the target is and dump it beside the hole . Then I run my detector over it and pinpoint it with the machine. Then I scoop where the target is signaling. Hope this helps.

Pinpointers work well on the beach and expedite the find as well as they do in dirt. No help in the water (the water washes the dirt away fast). I use a pinpointer at the beach...saves time. RickO

Well, a sandscoop usually does the trick...most beach targets are 1-4 inches especially during the peak summer months... one scoop and you have your ring or coin

I use the pinpointer on the detector and then scoop away - too easy

I use my Garrett Propointer at the beach. Won't go without it.

Its nice to find small targets like earrings that slip thru the holes in the scoop. Otherwise scoop and sift seems more efficient.
