The RTG 28-inch stainless steel sand scoop weighs under four pounds, balancing durability with swing comfort for detectorists who walk miles of beach per outing. The 16-gauge stainless steel basket and 3/4-inch stainless steel handle provide corrosion resistance and rigidity without the heft of thicker-gauge construction. Detectorists prioritizing minimum weight over maximum corrosion resistance may prefer RTG's adjustable aluminum scoop, which weighs 1.25 pounds but uses anodized aluminum for the handle and basket instead of stainless steel.
