In my humble opinion any pin pointer for the beach is a waste of anyone's good money.
just something else u have to carry, need to travel light.............pointers are good for dirt digging.
scoops...............depends on age and health
young to middle age................the bigger the better................now comes the hard part..............alum. or s/s......................same procedure: young to middle age - S/S - at least 6" diam............................alum...................much lighter and if u add S/S lip...............makes them even better, but not necessary unless your beach area has many rocks and shells.
mid 60's..........................age group.............i had to down size, my old body told me those 6 & 7" scoops i had were too toooooo heavy when full of wet sand.
i will be a bit older on friday and i love the two 5" dia. alum. scoops from reily's i have now, but i still have a nice 6" S/S scoop for when i work in the deep water and big wave area.
see some examples
remember..................many many other scoops around, some love the diamond shaped scoops - s/s jobs and then there is chucks monster S/S scoop with the wonderful wooden handle...................yes, i had one of those also............way back when and the NJ Beachcomer S/S scoop - and then there is the Big alum. BEACH BRUTE
good luck, this is a hard choice for such an easy project.
