    This 8.5-inch plastic sand scoop eliminates false signals while metal detecting, letting you focus on real targets instead of your digging tools.

    Key Features

    • Non-metallic construction - Won't trigger your metal detector when scanning recovered soil
    • Heavy-duty plastic material - Resists rust and corrosion in saltwater and harsh conditions
    • 3-quart capacity - Large enough for efficient digging, compact enough for extended use
    • 0.5-inch drainage holes - Sifts sand and dirt while retaining coins, jewelry, and small gold nuggets
    • 8.5-inch length - Optimal size for handheld metal detecting and gold prospecting
    • Available in black and orange - Choose the color that works best for your hunting conditions

    Perfect for Multiple Detecting Applications

    Whether you're metal detecting at the beach, prospecting for gold in creek beds, or treasure hunting in parks, this scoop handles it all. The non-metallic design means you can scan your recovered material without worrying about false signals from your own tools.

    Gold prospectors especially appreciate how this scoop works alongside panning equipment. Use it to collect promising material from crevices and stream beds, then process it through your pan or sluice. The drainage holes are sized perfectly to retain small gold while letting sand and gravel wash away.

    Built for Serious Detectorists

    Unlike cheap scoops that crack after a few uses, this heavy-duty plastic construction stands up to rocky soil and repeated use. The material won't rust like metal scoops, making it ideal for saltwater beach hunting where corrosion destroys other tools.

    Complete your metal detector accessories kit with this essential digging tool. Pair it with other prospecting equipment for a complete gold hunting setup, or browse our selection of sand scoops and diving tools to find the perfect scoop for your detecting style.
