RTG, Inc.SUPREME BEACH SCOOP # 550

Best bang for the buck. I am rather new to metal detecting and didn't have a lot of money to spend but wanted to buy something of decent quality to complement my mid-level metal detector. Positives: low weight for a metal shaft scoop; scale-able to accommodate people of different heights; the grid wire bottom allows for lots of sand to fall out quickly and easily while shaking to discover what you've dug up; easy to use and clean; Very durable and well constructed. Negative: Always wash, dry, and store in a dry location away from moisture as this thing will rust very quickly if left in a humid area like I did. I know better now and for the cost savings it is a minor price to pay.

Great treasure / beach scoop. Great quality, handle has stayed on without spinning after months of heavy use. The locking spring peg on the adjustable handle shank works well and has yet to stick. I use it for reaching into water to retrieve items, rocks, trash, ect. Or I use them on the beach to dig while playing with the metal detector.This is a repurchase, my original scoop I gave to a young lady who was helping pickup trash at the local National Wildlife Refuge on our cleanup day. I offered it to her to use to pick trash up, she had given it to an adult she thought was with our group. Long and short, sje and her parents went to the neighboring park and found my scoop. When we met up, I thanked her for her effort searching it down and for her help with the cleanup day. I then offered it to her of she promised to always enjoy it

I ordered this scoop I could break it down for my suitcase for my vacation. And if fit good in my suitcase! It got here 5 days after I order it. And I placed the order on midday Thursday. And I sent a email to the seller letting him know that I needed it before the day I was going on my trip. And if I had to pay more I would. Because Amazon had the last date for the scoop to get to me was on the day I was leaving. And the seller told me not to worry that it would be here before I would leave. It was so thanks to the seller.I took it out to some local beaches and it worked fine. Only couples improvements that I will be making too it is making a cross bar going from the handle to the back of the basket. Too give it more strength so it don't bend. also I'll paint it with special paint to prevent it from rusting.Thanks to the seller

I like the fact that it breaks apart for easy transport to/from the beach, but would have expected it to stand up to sea water better. I will see if I can sand it and spray with rust preventive spray/coating to prevent future deterioration.

UPDATE 2020 - Still awesome !Works good in the sand. Only dry not wet. The basket so far is pretty sturdy. I got it because you can break it down for travel. The only thing I would say is the whole handle is a bit flimsy. When you hook together the pieces there is a bit of a gap. If you use the all the handle pieces, They do not fit super snug. So when you move the scoop there is slight wiggling room. But not enough for me to be upset about. I would recommend it for the ladies (myself) because it is VERY light weight. Unlike the others I have tried that were to heavy but great for a stronger person.

Very easy to use and extends your reach. Holds well, sifts well, easy to carry. Love it!

I do a lot of beach detecting and this is the best scoop I have owned. Good weight, very strong. Love the features and adjustment range. Would highly recommend.

I tim tailored it with my own twist, now much better

I used this scoop twice and it has proven to be very durable and useful.

Packaged well and product is what they describe.Adjustable length makes this product worth it's weight in gold.Absolutely recommend to other beach going metal detectors instead of paying $150 for a scoop..this is actually a good product

Nice product

As advertised, good quality and my husband loves it.

I like the material construction of the scoop and handle assembly. I don't like the fact that the finger-grooved orange handle is facing upwards. It's an awkward feel for me when scooping with the basket facing up.

I sprayed it with truck bed liner to keep it from rusting and it does the job. Thanks for a great item.

very well made i no i would buy again if i ever need another one i use it in dry sand only so cant say much about how it would be in wet sand very easy to take apart and store
