The RTG Speedy aluminum sand scoop is Reilly's Treasured Gold's best selling hand scoop for a simple reason: it disappears in your hand until a target needs digging, then moves sand faster than tools twice its weight. The 5" diameter by 7" long aluminum bucket is punched with 9/16" holes on the sides and back so sand drains the moment you lift, the curved anodized handle is welded directly to the bucket for strength, and the whole scoop weighs about 0.9 lbs. Wet sand, dry sand, towel line or shallow surf, the Speedy keeps recoveries quick and your energy for the next signal. Proudly made in the USA.
Speed Is a Feature You Can Hold
Hand scoops live or die by two things: how fast the sand leaves the bucket and how your wrist feels at hour three. The Speedy is built around both. The punched hole pattern wraps the sides and back of the bucket, so a scoop of beach empties with one shake while coins, rings, and relics stay behind. The handle's ergonomic curve puts your hand at a natural digging angle instead of the straight-armed stab that wears out your forearm, and the rubber grip stays secure in wet, sandy hands (grip color may vary). Because the handle is welded rather than bolted, there are no fasteners to loosen, corrode, or catch, just one solid aluminum tool that shrugs off salt. At about 0.9 lbs it rides a finds pouch or back pocket without a thought, which is exactly what you want in a scoop you will pull out fifty times a day.
