Beach Scoop ( Old Post )

[goldnugget]

I have lost the post where someone had added some Floatation ( Noodle ) to their scoop when out in the water. I would like to see a photo if available. I wouldn't like to put too much on mine out in the surf. Thanks--Goldnugget-Charlotte,N.C. my scoop weights about4 to 5 lbs and this will be the first time farther out in the water beyond knee deep.
Also need information- I was in the surf after a rip tide and all I felt was a hard bottom and no sand, is it possible to find something in this condition.

Here's a shot of mine that I just did today..
I bought the Noodle at the Dollar Store... Guess how much? that's right $1.00

I used zip ties to secure it... I've heard off people using Black electrical tape. I figured that this may be better.. Just make sure if you use
zip ties to properly trim the pieces so that they won't scratch ya..

Hmmm I wonder which would be more buoyant... I like the idea of filling the tube with foam. But how'd ya get it all he way
to the bottom..

I was thinking of using the inside part as a storage.. For the High Dollar finds.. LOL I'm sure it would be a great spot Who would look there..

You could use that self sealing foam in a can... Just remember to wear gloves...it will stick to your skin....dont ask
