Will damp sand still go through it?

The damp or wet sand will sit in there like a lump of clay! It does in almost every scoop!

Maybe elimanating the plastic, but gluing the magnets next to the holes would still allow sand out but catch and stop the smaller metal bits from falling through? I don't know, I work with wood not metal. But it's a great idea Graw, I often have smaller bits that the detector picks up but the scoop will not. Let us know how the field test goes.

Test --- In dry sand it works just like any other scoop and in the water I just rinse the mud and sand -- Graw
