The drainage hole pattern on the Detect-Ed scoop is designed to sift both dry and wet sand efficiently. Dry sand clears quickly with minimal shaking, while wet sand requires more effort to drain as moisture causes sand particles to cling together. The hole size balances drainage speed with target retention, so small items like thin chains and earring backs won't slip through. For faster wet-sand sifting, a metal scoop with larger perforations or a basket-style design drains quicker, but you risk losing small targets. Understanding metal detector technologies helps you pair the right recovery tool with your detector's target-separation capabilities.
