Anyone lose their scoop? (West Coast Fl)

[Dig]

Hey Everyone! I am posting for a buddy of mine who, while hunting one of Sarasota's beaches found and dug up a metal detecting scoop.....talk about an odd find. Being the nice guy that he is, he asked that I post asking if someone on here might be the culprit. This scoop is pretty easy to identify so if you PM me with a description and a location as to which beach it was lost on, he will return it to you.

That's good of your buddy to try and return it to who lost it. Most of the guy's detecting around here wouldn't do that! I've seen them finds rings they could of returned and don't greedy bastards

Hey Dig, I remember a post from earlier this year about one of our guys dang near drowning and losing a scoop in the process...cant remember who, but he said he had to drop the scoop and barely made it out alive. Remember?

Yeah we spoke... Not the same scoop

He lost his at CWB too so I doubt it made it to Sarasota Unless one of those rip currents grabbed it?

Hi my name is Rob Foster I did loose a long handle stainless steel scoop with yellow grip and a section of green noodle also had been repaired a couple of times to reinforce the scoop and handle I can be reached on my cell phone @ 941-266-4054 Was lost on Siesta Beach last end of August.

Whether this scoop is Rfosters or not, I gotta know.... How in the heck did you lose a scoop?

 

[Dig]

It happens Jason. Moreso in the ocean than say a lake but, people get rolled by waves or they get caught in a rip and have to ditch their gear. All kinds of different ways to have a problem in rougher waters. I've even heard stories of people finding a metal detector bobbing in the surf.

Dig.... you see any of those detectors bobbin give me a shout .... im looking for a back up lol. Surf keeps being up like it has been ill need a dive suit to hunt. Seems it just gets nasty when i show up. I dont know how it is up your way.... but our beach has went from sloping to almost flat with all the sand being push in. Guess ive been lucky .... not lost anything yet, but i did see 2 guys have to be rescued.
