T-Rex 6.5" Stainless Steel Wet Sand Scoop – 3/8" Honeycomb Holes | Made in USA

Dig Deep. Sift Fast. Recover More Treasure!

When you're hunting the beach for lost rings, coins, and jewelry, you need a sand scoop that can handle wet, compacted sand while allowing sand to wash away quickly.

The T-Rex 6.5-Inch Stainless Steel Sand Scoop combines rugged American-made construction with an efficient honeycomb sifting design. Built specifically for serious beach metal detecting, this scoop is designed to help recover targets from wet sand, shallow surf, and the water's edge.

With 3/8-inch honeycomb holes, additional smaller 1/4-inch openings, and an angled handle socket, the T-Rex delivers a practical balance of strength, control, and target retention.

Please note: This listing is for the stainless steel scoop head only. A handle is required and sold separately.

Why Choose the T-Rex 6.5" Sand Scoop?

• Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction: Made from approximately 0.075-inch-thick stainless steel to withstand demanding wet-sand digging.

• 3/8-Inch Honeycomb Sifting Holes: Closely spaced openings allow sand and water to escape while helping retain coins, rings, and other metal targets.

• Additional 1/4-Inch Holes: Smaller holes near the rear and bottom help retain smaller finds.

• 6.5-Inch-Wide Bucket: A manageable size for recovering targets without carrying an oversized scoop.

• 20-Degree Angled Handle Socket: Designed for improved digging leverage and comfortable operation.

• Deep Rear Wall: The elevated rear section helps keep targets inside the scoop when working in moving water.

• Approximately 2.2 Pounds: Relatively lightweight for a heavy-duty stainless steel beach scoop.

• Made in the USA: American-made construction for dedicated treasure hunters.

• Replaceable Handle Design: Accepts a properly fitted wooden handle, making replacement convenient.

Built for Wet Sand and Surf Hunting

Cut Through Wet, Compacted Sand

Dry beach sand is relatively easy to scoop, but wet sand and packed shoreline material demand a stronger digging tool.

The T-Rex features rugged stainless steel construction designed for repeated digging in wet beach conditions.

Its scoop profile helps you recover buried targets while maintaining control as you work along the waterline.

Fast Sifting with 3/8-Inch Honeycomb Holes

A great sand scoop needs to do two things well: collect the target and release unwanted sand.

The T-Rex uses closely spaced 3/8-inch honeycomb openings that allow sand and water to pass through efficiently.

Simply lift and shake the scoop, or rinse it in shallow water, to separate much of the surrounding sand from your recovered targets.

The smaller openings are particularly helpful for recovering items that might escape through larger 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch scoop holes.

Additional 1/4-Inch Holes for Smaller Finds

One feature that separates this T-Rex from many ordinary beach scoops is the placement of smaller 1/4-inch holes near the bottom and rear of the bucket.

These openings help retain smaller targets while still allowing water and sand to drain.

That makes the scoop useful for recovering small jewelry items, coins, and other finds commonly encountered while beach detecting.

Very small objects may still pass through the openings.

Angled Handle for Better Digging Control

The handle socket is positioned at approximately a 20-degree angle.

This design helps position the scoop for digging while reducing the need to hold the handle completely upright.

It can also improve the scoop's balance when carrying or operating it outside the water.

Deep Rear Wall Helps Keep Targets Inside

The T-Rex features an elevated rear section approximately 5 inches deep.

When you're digging in shallow surf or moving water, this additional height helps reduce the chance of a recovered target being washed or knocked out of the scoop.

Ideal for These Metal Detecting Applications

• Beach metal detecting

• Wet-sand hunting

• Shallow-water treasure recovery

• Surf-line jewelry hunting

• Coin and ring recovery

• Lake and freshwater shoreline detecting

Product Specifications

Handle Requirements

This T-Rex sand scoop requires a separately purchased handle.

The mounting socket has an approximately 1-3/8-inch inside diameter and is designed to accept a properly fitted replacement shovel handle.

A wooden replacement shovel handle is a practical option because it can often be sourced locally from a hardware store.

Always verify the actual handle diameter and mounting fit before installation.

What's Included?

• 1 × T-Rex 6.5-inch stainless steel sand scoop head with 3/8-inch honeycomb holes

Not included: Wooden or carbon-fiber handle, metal detector, or other beach detecting accessories.

Find More Treasure with a Better Beach Scoop!

Every beach hunter knows the excitement of hearing a strong signal beneath the wet sand. The right recovery tool helps you get to that target efficiently.

Order your T-Rex 6.5-inch Stainless Steel Sand Scoop from High Plains Prospectors and get ready for your next beach detecting adventure!

The T-REX bucket is approximately 11” long by 6.5" wide and 4" deep. 

The top of the scoop is 5” deep to prevent targets from being knocked out of the scoop while hunting in the surf. 

This scoop has 1/4" round holes 2" from the back and bottom of the scoop to catch small items. 

On the top of the scoop is a tube to attach your handle. The Handle tube is angled at about 20 degrees so digging is easier than with a straight up and down handle. This also makes the scoop more balanced and feel lighter when hunting out of water. 

The 3/8” Honeycomb holes are punched close together to allow for quick sand release and catch those smaller targets that can be missed by larger ½” or 5/8” holes. 

There is no push plate on the back of the scoop for more control and better balance when pushing down into the sand. 

The gauge of the stainless steel is .075” thick for the stress put on the scoop when digging in wet sand. The weight of the scoop is 2.2 lbs. on a postal scale (without the handle).

Best of all it is made here in the U.S.A. (The T-REX requires a wooden handle that can be purchase at your local Home Depot so there is no downtime if you should break your handle.)
