Dig once, sift as you lift. The CKG carbon sand sifter shovel merges a serrated digging blade with a stainless steel sifting basket, so wet sand and water drain away while coins, rings and jewelry stay on the blade. Instead of shoveling a pile and pawing through it, you cut straight into the target zone, lift, shake and pick your treasure off the mesh. On a busy beach, that speed means more targets recovered before the tide or the crowd beats you to them.
The 28.5mm carbon fiber handle keeps the whole tool at 3.44 pounds and completely rust proof, with a click lock two piece design that splits into 27 and 23 inch sections for suitcases and beach bags. Precision sized sifting holes drain fast without dropping jewelry sized targets, the serrated edge saws through shell beds and packed wet sand, and the ergonomic grip stays controllable with wet, gloved or sandy hands. Compare basket styles in our sand scoops for metal detecting collection, including RTG sand scoops if you prefer a traditional bucket scoop.

The Wet Sand Specialist in Your Beach Kit
Dry fluffy sand favors a classic bucket style scoop, but wet sand, the surf line and shallow water are where this sifter shovel earns its keep, cutting into packed sand that swallows regular scoops. Beach and surf hunters pair it with a waterproof pinpointer for pinpointing targets in the basket and a finds pouch with drain holes to stash the keepers. Heading inland after the beach trip? The CKG carbon fiber travel shovel uses the same click lock carbon system for turf and soil hunts.
