The CKG 12x5" Universal Sand Scoop trades a wide mouth for a longer, deeper basket that drives into firm wet sand and shallow water with less effort. If most of your finds come from the tide line and the surf, this shape helps you reach down to where heavier coins and rings settle.

Key Features

  • Deep narrow profile: The 12x5 inch basket pushes into packed wet sand more easily than a wide scoop, so you reach deeper targets without fighting the dig.
  • Stainless steel build: Salt water friendly stainless steel resists rust through repeated beach and surf sessions.
  • Quick sift drainage: Drainage holes clear sand and water fast while keeping your find in the basket.
  • Water hunting ready: A strong choice for shallow surf and wet tide lines where the day's best targets often hide.
  • Handle compatible: Connects to CKG long handles and travel handles for comfortable standing recovery.

Why detectorists choose the CKG 12x5" Universal Sand Scoop for Wet Sand and Water

Wide scoops can skate across firm wet sand instead of digging in. The 12x5 shape concentrates your push into a smaller cutting edge, which makes it easier to scoop deep targets in the surf zone where many of the best finds turn up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a narrow scoop over a wide one?

A narrower deeper basket cuts into firm wet sand and surf more easily, which helps when targets sit deeper near the water.

Will sand and small stones sift out?

Yes. The drainage holes let sand, water, and small pebbles pass through while keeping coins and jewelry in the basket.

Is it safe for salt water use?

Yes. It is built from stainless steel for salt water and wet sand. Rinse with fresh water after each hunt.

Can I add a long handle for standing use?

Yes. It is designed to fit CKG long handles and travel handles so you can recover targets without bending over.
