Hunt for Treasure with a Rock and Gem Scoop

A Treasure Scoop is great for a variety of outdoor uses. Use it for beachcombing or rockhounding. Take it along on hikes to keep your balance. Use it to push aside bushes or poke under logs on the trail. I love it because I don't have to bend over for every shiny object I spot. 

The handle makes it comfortable to hold while walking, and you can strap it to your wrist so it doesn't fall. The scoop is about the size of a grown man's palm, and has cuts in it to allow sand and water to fall through. The Treasure and Gem Scoop is availible in both 36" and a long handled 42" inch versions, so you can choose a length that is good for you. The spike on the end is great for breaking up rocks or keeping balance while you walk. 

The Treasure Scoop, originally made by Eastwing, is now made by Fundamental Rockhound. Thankfully, they maintain the same high quality manufacturing standards, so you know that you are getting a great product. It is a central part of my rockhound kit.

-Primarily to pick up shiny or interesting Treasure that you find on the Beach or Trail.
