Sand Scoops

CKG Makes pretty good scoops. I bought the cheaper titanium sand scoop. I have his beefier stainless steel scoop, but it's just too heavy for this old guy, so I purchased his titanium scoop, first time out, without putting much pressure on it, it still bent a little, so i straightened it out, added some reinforcement, and walla, I love my two pound, sand scoop.
 
NYC detecting, a you tube guy named Merrill sells a scoop like Stavr except it's expensive! $239. Plus shipping.
He calls it the honey badger.
 
 
Quick question when the sand is kind of frozen, is it better to set it to like hard surface detection or just keep it on beach detection I have an equinox mine lab nine 900. I pretty much catch everything but I do get a lot of phantom hits like in the 80s and 90s, which is actually something precious and then it disappears and IQuick question when the sand is kind of frozen, is it better to set it to like hard surface detection or just keep it on beach detection I have a equinox mine lab nine 900.
