SE Green Prospector's Scoop - 12.5" Heavy-Duty Plastic Tool for Metal Detecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting, and Gardening

Heavy duty.Perfect for gold mining.

This scoop is indestructible

I had wondered how & if any plastic could handle scooping dirt, sand and gravel. I ordered two for metal detecting and the first thing I noticed is the plastic reminds me of my kitchen cutting board. I have not been gentle with these, I often scrape sediment off bead rock with these and dig in dry creaks and washes and they have only become slightly scuffed, no missing plastic. The only suggestion I would make to the manufacturer is that it would be nice if they would float on water because they sink like a rock, even though they don’t weigh very much. On the positive they do have a hole through the handle where you could attach a Paracord lanyard or your own improvised flotation device, making it a non-issue. Over all, an amazing scoop that will handle abuse very well.Update: I have now been abusing these scoops 3 or 4 outings a week on average for nearly a year and still barely any visible wear. Contrary to what the low price might imply, these are NOT throwaway items. I seriously want to know what kind of plastic this is and why my car is not made out of it! Ordering more soon to give to a few friends who garden. they have easily already outlasted ALL of the metal hardware store gardening scoops that I have broken, and they are still good as new. Truly impressed.ps. Make a phone case made out of this same plastic, please!

I absolutely love this scoop! I would recommend it to anybody that does metal detecting or prospecting for gold. This thing is sturdy and lightweight. Suuuper durable and sturdy being made of strong thick plastic. The shape of it allows you to scoop up a big amount of dirt/sand even from tighter areas. The best advantage is the profile of the scoop making it easy to dig a hole and be able to scoop the material out within that hole. Do yourself a favor and just purchase this scoop. :)Also featured on YouTube with Jeff Williams and many other professional prospectors.

Simple and effective. Very durable for being plastic, much more so than other designs...you still have to use common sense of course, but these hold up well. Lightweight for a backpack, non conductive so good for metal detectors, and hold a lot of material for their small size. And inexpensive. What's not to like?

seems nice and durable. i am new to gold panning ; this style of scoop has probably been evolving over the past 100 years? feel durable and shipping was fast.Thanx Amazon!!!

easy to use

Solid scoop that is quite sturdy. We scoop, scrape, scratch and spoon with it and it still looks good. Works great for metal detecting gold!

ok gostei

great item and great seller

Buena la recomiendo

Wow, a hefty little thing. Good sized scoop, a little larger than I thought, but seems very hefty and strong. Should be good for digging in anything but hard compacted soil - great for the beach and sandy soil.

Leí en comentarios que la cuchara se dobla. La cuchara no se dobla, está extremadamente fuerte.
