The CooB 11.5" x 8" scoop weighs 2.2 pounds, which is the same as the 11.5" x 7" model but heavier than the 9" x 6.25" scoop at 1.75 pounds and the 9" x 5.1" scoop at 1.5 pounds. The extra weight comes from the larger basket dimensions and provides more stability when you're pulling full loads from waist-deep surf, but it also requires more arm strength during extended hunts. Detectorists who prioritize coverage area and load capacity choose the larger models, while those working tight spaces or who prefer lighter gear step down to the 9-inch series. Browse the full CooB lineup to compare basket sizes and weights.
