{"product_id":"motley-beach-scoop-no-handle","title":"Motley Beach Scoop (Scoop Only, No Handle)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou already own the handle you want. Stop paying for another one.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most sand scoops weld basket and shaft into one take-it-or-leave-it tool, so upgrading the handle means replacing everything. Motley built the opposite: this is the bare 2 mm (0.08 in) stainless steel Beach Scoop basket with the one-pin socket, made for hunters who pair it with the Steve Goss carbon fiber handle, keep a spare steel handle, or want a second basket color without buying steel they will never swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motley Beach Scoop without handle is the bare scoop basket: 2 mm stainless steel sand scoop for metal detecting, 12 in \/ 300 mm long, 8 in \/ 200 mm wide, 4.8 in \/ 120 mm deep, lasercut hexagon drain holes in two sizes, two-step digging path, one-pin handle socket with 1.38 in \/ 35-36 mm inner diameter. Weight 3.3 lb \/ 1527 g. Seven colors. Handle sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one: the scoop-only basket instead of the complete setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe identical basket ships on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-beach-scoop-with-steel-handle\"\u003eBeach Scoop with steel handle\u003c\/a\u003e, and for a first scoop that complete version is the honest recommendation. Scoop-only earns its place three ways. First, the carbon upgrade path: pair this basket with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/steve-goss-carbon-fiber-travel-handle\"\u003eSteve Goss carbon fiber travel handle\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/steve-goss-carbon-fiber-one-piece-handle\"\u003eone-piece\u003c\/a\u003e and you build the light wet-sand rig without owning a steel handle you retired on day one. Second, color mixing: Motley designed the one-pin lock so handles and baskets interchange, and running a gold basket on a gray handle is exactly the point. Third, backup: a second basket in the truck saves a beach trip when the surf gets rough. Dealers list this version with recycled factory text and never tell you which one to buy; the choice above is the actual answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and what they mean in the sand\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:44%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 mm (0.08 in) high grade stainless steel, electropolished\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStiffer than carbon, wood, or glass fiber baskets; polish plus powder coat resists saltwater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBasket 12 in \/ 300 mm x 8 in \/ 200 mm x 4.8 in \/ 120 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-size capacity; fewer digs per target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLasercut hexagon holes, two sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrains fast in the wet slope, keeps thin chains and small earrings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-step digging path\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCareful recovery or aggressive digging, your call per hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-pin socket, 1.38 in \/ 35-36 mm inner diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccepts the Motley steel handle and the Goss carbon fiber handles; swaps in seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight 3.3 lb \/ 1527 g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMass where it belongs, in the cutting edge, not in the shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Motley setup is right for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;margin:12px 0;font-size:13px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eScoop only - this one\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-beach-scoop-with-steel-handle\"\u003eScoop with steel handle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eHandles alone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBring your own handle: carbon upgrade, color mix, or backup basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete tool, best first buy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/steve-goss-carbon-fiber-travel-handle\"\u003eGoss carbon travel\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/steve-goss-carbon-fiber-one-piece-handle\"\u003eGoss carbon one-piece\u003c\/a\u003e, or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-steel-handle\"\u003esteel handle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Motley basket and handle locks together with the same one-pin system, and the scoop works alongside any metal detector you take to the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotley Beach Scoop basket in your chosen color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo handle: pair it with a Motley steel or Steve Goss carbon fiber handle\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 Motley 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.
