:D Hi everyone! I recently read a web site on how to make your own hand type sand scoop, but , alas, I forgot where I saw it. Can anyone help :?: Thanks!

Hi-ya 1960vw...

Cant help you out on that website, but I do a lot of MD'ing at the beach and fashioned one from a Folgers 3lb plastic coffee can...Dont get me wrong, I'm not a cheapskate, but where I had to go to buy one was like 40 miles away, and it was such a nice day to go to the beach, I made one myself...this CAN kind of has slots on the side for handles and I drilled 1/4 inch holes in the bottom and up one side of the can, then I got an "S" hook where I hook it to the side of my britches and also carry all of my stuff in it...I try to go light cause hiking through that sand all day long can tire you out...Hope this helped you out some...?...Good luck MD'ing...

Boo - I am sorry I was not more clear. I meant would you post a picture of the sand scoop you made.

Bitter cold here - minus 8 this morning with a wind chill of 20 below in some places. Gonna warm up this weekend. High of 20. Must be a heat wave.

I did see the pictures of your finds. Way to go. Happy Hunting in the future.
