The RTG 2-in-1 Deluxe sand scoop packs two beach tools into one lightweight, made in the USA package. Detach the shaft and it is a nimble 9" hand scoop for kneeling recoveries; slide the anodized aluminum long handle into place and it locks with a spring clip for comfortable stand up detecting, with four length positions to fit your height and your dig style. Up front, a 4" diameter basket of 1/2" heavy wire mesh brazed to 16 gauge galvanized steel empties a scoop of dry sand in a shake or two while your target stays put. If you hunt the dry stretch above the tide line, this is the scoop that earns the trip.
Small Basket, Big Advantage in Dry Sand
Dry sand is the easiest digging on the beach, which is exactly why a compact scoop wins there: a 4" basket bites precisely where the pinpointer says, lifts less dead weight per scoop, and drains instantly through the open 1/2" mesh. The Deluxe's brazed construction joins that mesh to a 16 gauge galvanized steel frame, so the basket keeps its shape season after season instead of splaying like bent-tab budget scoops. The handle system is the trick that makes it a keeper: four locking positions let you dial in a comfortable length for standing sweeps of the towel line, and when a target calls for close work, the shaft pulls free in seconds and the rubber gripped hand scoop takes over. Both handles are corrosion resistant anodized aluminum with rubber grips (color may vary), and the whole rig is light enough to strap to a daypack. One honest note: the Deluxe is built for dry sand detecting only and is not intended for water use, so leave it above the waterline and let it do what it does best.
