PRO STOCK METAL DETECTORS PRESENTS THE:
 PRO/SCOOP

THE BEST SCOOP OUT THERE!
A professional treasure recovery scoop engineered by professional treasure hunters!
THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE BASKET ONLY
THE HANDLE USED IS A COMMON POST-HOLE DIGGER HANDLE, AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE
OR FARM SUPPLY


We looked at all the other sand scoops on the market currently being built  for the serious water hunter. We picked out the best ones then thought about ways of improving them.

1. PROBLEM: One thing that we noticed was that the design of the average foot pedal blocked many of the holes and restricted drainage.

SOLUTION:  This scoop will drain faster than any scoop on the market! And, it is tested and proven to be very strong!

2. PROBLEM: Most handles are fastened to the scoop basket by using 2 'U' bolts putting all of the pressure on narrow bands of the handle straining the wood starting with the first scoop!

SOLUTION: Our hardwood handles are cradled in a stainless steel sleeve which distributes the load over a bigger area of the handle which equals longer handle life! Also, the handle is not taking up space inside the basket making it harder to clean out, this speeds recovery time!




3. PROBLEM:
The welds on many of the water scoops were terrible! On one of the top scoops that we tested, the welds looked like bubble gum applied  with a slingshot!

 SOLUTION:
All of our welds are professionally done! Tig welded for maximum strength without panel warp age!
THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE BASKET ONLY!
 BECAUSE THE HANDLES ARE LONG, THEY ARE CHARGED AS A 70 LB. OVERSIZED FEE. YOU CAN BUY THESE HANDLES LOCALLY FOR AROUND $12.00


4. PROBLEM:
One of the top scoop manufactures added small drainage holes at the tip of the scoop bill to increase drainage. We felt these small holes are a great idea, but, they should be deep in the scoops throat to catch the small gold and silver treasures!

 SOLUTION:
 The small drainage holes are where they belong, everywhere! They are put to work catching the diamond earrings, small gold chains, the tiny treasures!

          


5. PROBLEM:
Every veteran water hunter will tell you that one big pain is chasing ghosts! When the scoop is lifted to the surface the metal targets such as tin foil and pull tabs flutter out the top before you get the chance to see them.
SOLUTION:
We added a 4 inch cap across the top of the scoop which ads amazing strength to the basket but also captures most fluttering pull tabs and foil.

           


6. PROBLEM: By rolling the basket into shape you don't get as much strength as you could for digging in those rocky areas.
SOLUTION: Shape the basket with gentle folds which adds to the strength!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
These scoops have been off the market for a while because my friend who builds these beauties has had some health problems which he has been dealing with. One should not assume these will always be available. If you are a water hunter, who appreciates having the best equipment, you might want to consider ordering more than one.
