{"product":{"id":8289291927836,"title":"Motley Beach Scoop - 2mm Stainless Steel Sand Scoop for Beach Detecting","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe Motley Beach Scoop is a stainless steel recovery tool engineered by Motley's design team specifically for beach and shallow water detecting. Built from 2mm high-grade stainless steel, this scoop delivers the structural strength that wet sand, dry sand, and surf-zone recovery demand. Beach detectorists working long sessions need gear that resists corrosion and handles aggressive digging without flex or failure, and the electropolished stainless construction addresses both concerns. The two-step digging angle lets you toggle between careful recovery when working around shells or rocks and aggressive scooping when conditions allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the Motley Beach Scoop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotley Beach Scoop body (handle sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/Motley_Scoop_Only_inline.jpg?v=1780406077\" alt=\"Motley metal detecting beach scoop with blue plastic basket and perforated drainage holes, top and side views\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Beach Detectorists Reach for the Motley Beach Scoop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction outlasts carbon, wood, and fiberglass alternatives in saltwater environments where corrosion accelerates material breakdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-step digging angle adjusts to the recovery scenario, careful extraction around fragile targets or aggressive scooping through packed sand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-cut hexagon holes drain water and sand quickly, reducing the weight you lift on each scoop and speeding target isolation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-pin locking system allows handle and scoop swaps, so you can match colors or replace a single component without buying a full assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectropolished finish resists saltwater corrosion better than raw stainless, extending the scoop's working life in marine environments.

The electropolishing process smooths the steel surface at a microscopic level, reducing the pitting and oxidation that degrades raw stainless over time. The powder-coated finish adds a layer of abrasion resistance, though the coating will scratch with repeated use against rocks and shells, this is cosmetic wear that doesn't compromise the scoop's structural integrity. The laser-cut hexagon holes come in two sizes for fast drainage while retaining small targets, and the welds are finished to handle the torque you apply when prying through compacted sand layers. The one-pin locking system connects the scoop body to the handle opening, which has an inner diameter of 35-36mm to match Motley's handle lineup. Handles are sold separately, giving you the flexibility to choose length and color independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches (300mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches (200mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8 inches (120mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10mm and 0.6mm laser-cut hexagon holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3 lbs (1527g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2mm high-grade stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electropolished with Motley powder coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35-36mm (1.38 inch) inner diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Motley handles (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse Environment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beach, wet sand, dry sand, shallow water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PL892mHe10Vo_VwRBqmLA8bpdZTF8MEoPq\u0026amp;rel=0\u0026amp;modestbranding=1\u0026amp;playsinline=1\u0026amp;mute=1\u0026amp;autoplay=1\u0026amp;loop=1\" title=\"Motley Beach Scoop Videos\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Serious Detecting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerious Detecting is an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/pages\/customer-care__about-us\"\u003eauthorized Motley Digging Tools dealer\u003c\/a\u003e, which means every scoop ships with the manufacturer warranty and our team has direct access to Motley's technical support when you need replacement parts or compatibility guidance.
