Description
The CKG 11x7 is the scoop for the sand that fights back: 2 mm of 304 stainless steel with a rear assist grip, built for wet slope, gravel, and the compacted cuts where storms drop the good targets. Thin scoops flex and oil-can when you stand on them in hard pack. This one is the heavy-wall model in the CKG stainless line, and it is the difference between prying a deep plug loose and walking away from the signal.
At a glance
The CKG 11x7 is a heavy duty 304 stainless steel sand scoop for metal detecting with a 2 mm (0.07 in) wall. Manufacturer-listed size: 11 in / 270 mm long, 7 in / 170 mm wide, 4 in / 100 mm deep; weight approximately 3 lb / 1.4 kg. Hexagon sifting holes measure 0.4 in / 10 mm. Rear rubber assist grip and 4-leg socket brace. Works with any metal detector.
Why the 11x7 over its siblings
Wall thickness and the grip. At 2 mm (0.07 in) this basket carries roughly a third more steel in the wall than the lightweight Universal 12x5, and the molded rubber handle welded to the back plate is something no other scoop in this lineup gives you: pull the scoop by hand for close work or lever a stubborn plug without gripping wet steel. Competitor listings for this exact model repeat "heavy-duty" over and over without ever printing the gauge; the number is 2 mm, it is the manufacturer's own figure, and it is why this is the surf-zone workhorse of the line. Balanced between the big Pro 11x9 and the compact 9x6, it is the one-scoop answer for most beach hunters.
