    The Serious Detecting plastic sand scoop with brass probe is a non-metal hand scoop with round sift holes, sold with a brass probe for finding and lifting small targets. It suits beach hunters and gold prospectors who want a scoop that does not set off the detector, plus a non-ferrous probe for tight spots. More of our own gear is in our Serious Detecting collection.

    Where the scoop and probe work best

    Dry sand, loose soil and stream gravel suit a plastic scoop: you can pass the coil over a loaded scoop and hear only the target, then sift. The brass probe helps work a small target out of a crack, a root mass or the side of the hole. In packed wet sand and rocky ground a plastic edge flexes, and a steel scoop or digger is the better tool.

    Key features

    • Heavy-duty plastic scoop: no false signals, no rust.
    • Round sift holes: sand and dirt fall through while larger finds stay in.
    • Brass probe: for pinpointing and lifting small targets.
    • Weight: 6 oz (170 g).
    • Green color.

    Will the brass probe set off my metal detector?

    Yes, the brass probe will register on a metal detector, because brass is a conductive non-ferrous metal. The scoop body itself is plastic and completely non-metallic, so scooped sand can be scanned without false signals. Keep the probe threaded into the handle or set it aside while you scan, then use it to tease the target free. A pinpointer makes that last step faster.

    Answered by Richard T. · September 2026

    What size are the holes in the 14 in Plastic Sand Scoop?

    The holes in the 14 in Plastic Sand Scoop are 0.5 in across. That drains sand fast and holds coins, rings and larger nuggets, but be realistic: fine gold, small earrings and thin chain will pass straight through a half-inch hole. If you are chasing flour gold, sift into a classifier or pan rather than relying on the scoop.

    Answered by Dan P. · September 2026

    Is the 14 in Plastic Sand Scoop a hand scoop or does it take a long handle?

    The 14 in Plastic Sand Scoop is a hand scoop. It measures 14 in overall with a molded pistol-style grip, so it is used kneeling or crouched, which suits shallow prospecting, creek work and garden recovery. For dry beach or surf hunting at walking height, a long-handled scoop is the better tool.
