Shasta gold hunter Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I like the scoop better than the occasional crawly stuff in my hand. Scoop is better for small stuff anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen_daze Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I could only hope a company would figure this out.. (I know nothing about patents so if someone wants, here ya go. You can mail my check later!) Make a scoop that clamps onto the shaft of the detector or pick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuggetmaster Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I lost my scoop about a year ago and finally ordered a new one. With out it my headphones would always get picked up by the coil, wasnt to bad but i always found myself leaning away and reaching. Scoop gets it about perfect distance away. Just wish they would make one with a few real riffles in it to pan out the fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenJ Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I have two that I use depending on where I'm at and what I'm doing. I have a green one (like in Steve's pic on the right) that is used for actual nugget shooting, where I'm not going to be digging into crevices. For crevicing I like to use a smaller Fiskars Transplanter scoop, it is much easier to get into tight spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Scoops most of the time, sometimes just sift and sort by hand. However, when detecting an area with lots of nuggets, scoops only and the dirt gets tossed into the gold pans to save time by panning everything down at the end of the day, or if I have a gold panner along (like, my wife), she just keeps panning the scoop's contents for me, and that saves even more time. (This scoop to the pan system happens infrequently compared to scoop only or sift and sort; the scoop to pan only happens when I'm in a previously minded section of bedrock and I have a limited amount of time to cover as much bedrock as quickly as I can.) All the best, Lanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenJ Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm thinking I need to return my Nugget scoops and get new ones, to date they have only scoop one nugget between them. They must be defective, right? ? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
