Technique for pebble beach detecting ?

Post by nokta121 »

Hi, i was wondering what the best technique for digging on pebble beaches is, would you say using a plastic sand scoop, then using the pointer on it, and keep scooping till retrieved? ive been using a short spade, it works, but thinking a scoop would be faster, has anyone used this way? Thanks

Do them all the time. What you need is good quality metal scoop with a long handle plus a shorter handle about half way down. Have a look on the net you will see the sort of thing I mean...... [81/]

Thanks for your reply kevin, i have seen them online, i will invest in one, have you had much luck on pebble beaches? ive only been a few times, find a lot of reasonable size iron, detecting gives a good signal, due to the size i think
