The RTG Big Super sand scoop is the beach hunter's fast lane between a good signal and a find in hand. Made in the USA by Reilly's Treasured Gold, this 5" diameter basket is formed from 16 gauge steel with a strong 1/2" welded wire screen, so a full scoop of wet or dry sand drains in seconds while coins, rings, and relics stay caught in the basket. A soft rubber hand grip keeps it comfortable through a hundred recoveries a day, and the whole scoop stays light enough to ride your finds pouch without dragging you down.
Built to Sift Sand Super Fast
Every minute you spend pawing through a dug pile of sand is a minute your coil is not over the next target. The Big Super fixes that arithmetic. Punch the steel basket into the sand over your target, lift, give it a shake, and watch the sand pour through the 1/2" screen while anything worth keeping rattles in the bottom. The welded wire construction will not pop rivets or split seams the way stamped and punched baskets can, and 16 gauge steel has the backbone for wet salt sand, crusted shell beds, and the packed slope at the waterline where lighter scoops fold. Dry sand hunters will love how fast the fluffy stuff disappears through the screen; wet sand hunters will appreciate a basket that bites without bending. It is a simple tool executed the way RTG has been building scoops for decades: sturdy, light, and shaped for real recoveries.
