Can you please tell me what you use for a water/sand scoop. I would like it to double for dry sand and waist deep water. So far it seems that people prefer stainless over aluminum for toughness. I was thinking larger holes for quick sand/water draining, but I would put some mesh in the bottom. It seems that some folks put magnets in their scoops also, for clad ?, or to clean the iron junk out ? I have never put much effort into water detecting.
