The Motley Beach Scoop is the other approach: a 2 mm (0.08 in) stainless steel basket, engineered in the Netherlands, on a full-length hexagon-grip steel handle, joined by a one-pin lock you can open with your thumb. This listing is the complete tool: basket plus handle, ready for the beach the day the box arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motley Beach Scoop with steel handle is a sand scoop for metal detecting on beaches and in shallow water. Basket: 2 mm stainless steel, 12 in \/ 300 mm long, 8 in \/ 200 mm wide, 4.8 in \/ 120 mm deep, lasercut hexagon drain holes in two sizes. Full-length perforated steel handle, one-pin interchangeable lock. Seven colors. Assembled weight 6.2 lb \/ 2.9 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the complete scoop, not the basket alone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotley sells this same basket \u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-beach-scoop-no-handle\"\u003ewithout the handle\u003c\/a\u003e, and the split is simple. If this is your first serious sand scoop, buy this one: the steel handle is already matched to the basket, the pin is in the box, and nothing else is required. The scoop-only version exists for hunters who already own a handle they love, usually the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/steve-goss-carbon-fiber-travel-handle\"\u003eSteve Goss carbon fiber travel handle\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/steve-goss-carbon-fiber-one-piece-handle\"\u003eone-piece\u003c\/a\u003e. Because the one-pin lock makes every Motley handle and basket interchangeable, the steel handle you buy today is never wasted: add a carbon handle later and the steel becomes your loaner or your rough-duty setup. Most dealer pages list one configuration and never explain this choice; it is the whole logic of the Motley line.\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; the polish plus powder coat shrugs off saltwater sessions\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\u003eOne scoop moves real material, 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\u003eWater and sand drain fast; the smaller pattern keeps thin chains and small earrings in the basket\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\u003eToe step for careful recovery near a fragile target, full step when you need to move beach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel handle, 1100 mm \/ 44 in, hexagon grip notches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDig standing up; the notches grip wet gloves without tape or foam and drain the handle as you lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-pin lock system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle and basket swap in seconds; mix colors or upgrade to carbon later\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: basket 3.3 lb \/ 1527 g, handle 2.9 lb \/ 1360 g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy enough to punch wet sand, balanced enough to swing all morning\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 with steel handle - this one\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-beach-scoop-no-handle\"\u003eScoop only\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\u003eComplete tool, best first buy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor hunters adding their own handle or a second basket color\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 a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/motley-steel-handle\"\u003espare steel handle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece locks to every other with the same one-pin system.
