Sand scoops

[Anonymous]

Does any one have any good pictures of sand scoops?You can never get too many pics,so all are welcome. I have material to make my own but would like to see some close up pictures.Also best recommended sizes dia.& depth.I would like to make it with an interchangable handle Sometimes we get back and knee aches and can't bend too well.I plan on using stainless woven or welded wire screen with 1/2 square openings with a thin guage stainless scoop. Is that a proper size for beach hunting?I'm kind of like a greenhorn at beach detecting and could use any and all advice you good people can give me.
Thank you in advace

Va Beach Max,I have some stamped stainless like that with 1/2" holes and I really like the handle.I am going to try yours but I will just put some type of ss plate on top so I can change to small handle if I want.Have to do something until the ground thaws. I want to thank you again for the response.The pictures came out very good.For the handles I found a pair of aluminum crutches and I am going cut them down and utilize the extension clips to my height,and use the top for a real short handle.All I need now is a good beach.
Thanks again
