The RTG 28-inch stainless steel scoop has a 33-inch overall length from handle top to basket bottom, reducing the amount of bending required to reach targets in dry sand compared to shorter-handled scoops. The 28-inch handle length is a middle ground between RTG's 26-32 inch adjustable model and the 36-inch straight-handle aluminum scoop, providing enough reach to minimize back strain without the bulk of a 40-inch or longer handle. Taller detectorists working deep dry-sand targets may prefer RTG's 36-inch straight-handle aluminum scoop for additional reach.
