It is carrying a steel basket through hours of water, or fitting one in a suitcase. This narrow-profile scoop cuts the carry weight by roughly half a pound to a full pound against the heavy-wall models and still drains a scoop of wet sand in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CKG Universal 12x5 is a lightweight 304 stainless steel sand scoop for metal detecting, formed from 1.5 mm (0.06 in) steel. Manufacturer-listed size is 11.8 in \/ 30 cm long and 5.12 in \/ 13 cm wide, weight 1.98 lb \/ 0.9 kg. Round sifting holes cover the basket. Fits standard scoop poles and works with any metal detector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Universal over its siblings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery other full-size CKG scoop is built around maximum plug volume. The Universal is built around your shoulders. Its narrow 5.12 in (13 cm) profile knifes into wet sand with less resistance, the 1.5 mm wall keeps it under 2 lb (0.9 kg), and the slim shape stows in a dive bag or checked luggage where the wide-mouth \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-pro-11x9-stainless-steel-sand-scoop\"\u003ePro 11x9\u003c\/a\u003e will not. Dealers list this model with a title and a price; almost none of them tell you it is the light one, which is the entire reason to choose it. If you hunt in the water more than on the beach, or you fly to your beaches, this is your scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and what they mean in the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:45%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.5 mm (0.06 in) 304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt-tolerant and light; rinse after the session and it is done\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11.8 in \/ 30 cm long, 5.12 in \/ 13 cm wide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNarrow blade enters compacted wet sand with less push\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.98 lb \/ 0.9 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe difference you feel in hour four, chest deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRound sifting holes across the basket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast drain while small targets stay put\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard pole socket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePairs with travel and carbon fiber scoop poles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich CKG scoop is right for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eUniversal 12x5 - this one\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-pro-11x9-stainless-steel-sand-scoop\"\u003ePro 11x9\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-11x7-stainless-steel-sand-scoop\"\u003e11x7\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-9x6-stainless-steel-sand-scoop\"\u003e9x6\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightest full-size\u003c\/strong\u003e, diving and travel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLargest basket, volume digging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 mm heavy wall, surf-zone workhorse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact, light swing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCKG Universal 12x5 stainless steel sand scoop (scoop head; pole sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho you are buying from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory Seekers is an authorized CKG dealer and a working detecting channel: over 1.1 million people follow our hunts on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hseekers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@HistorySeekers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e.
