The reinforced nose on the CooB 11.5" x 8" scoop features a solid metal zone without holes at the front edge, which strengthens the scoop during digging in compacted wet sand and rocky substrate. This no-hole zone prevents the nose from flexing or catching on shells and small rocks, and it provides a clean viewing surface where you can spot small finds like thin rings or old coins against the solid metal before they wash through the basket. We've found the reinforced nose critical when working tide lines where the sand is packed hard and you need a cutting edge that holds its shape under repeated foot pressure.
